Newest Developments in Medicaid

Medicaid may not be a lien. The US Supreme Court modified NY's Medicaid statute (104-b Social Services Law) in May, 2006 and effectively ruled that Medicaid's claim is limited to medical expenses they paid that are related to the injuries claimed in the personal injury accident. NY's Fourth Department (WNY) just ruled in Homan (http://scholar.google.com/scholar_case?case=10581411594797156890&q=Homan+v+County+of+Cattaraugus&hl=en&as_sdt=20000000004) that there Social Services has a claim for an apportionment share of the settlement.  This is very much in dispute and may be inconsistent with the US Supreme Court's Decision in Ahlborn (http://scholar.google.com/scholar_case?case=1735549210998437207&q=Arkansas+v+Ahlborn&hl=en&as_sdt=20000000003)
