Douglas v. California Hospital Association

Issue: Whether a private party may challenge the methodology a state uses to determine Medicaid reimbursement rates under §1396a(a)(30)(A) of the Medicaid Act based on a state's purported failure to conduct a certain type of study, and to ensure that the rates at issue bear a reasonable relationship to providers' costs, as required under a federal court of appeals' precedent interpreting the Medicaid Act.
