CCH® Medicaid — March 30, 2009.
The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals dismissed a class action by Medicaid recipients to enforce a right to reasonably prompt access to services under federal Medicaid law. The court rejected the recipients’ contention that Soc. Sec. Act §1902(a)(8), stating: [A] state plan for medical assistance must provide … that such assistance shall be furnished with reasonable promptness to all eligible individuals, required Medicaid programs to make care and services available with reasonable promptness.
