Federal Administrative and Judicial Oversight of Medicaid: Policy Legacies and Tandem Institutions under the Boren Amendment

Edward Alan Miller*
*Brown University

Because of the active role assumed by the courts in Medicaid nursing facility reimbursement, and because that role changed over time, federal intervention in this area provides a useful window through which to examine the role of the federal judiciary in oversight of state health policy making. Findings support the proposition that because judicial influence extends beyond program outcomes to include the organizational structure and beliefs of key stakeholder groups, the effects of case decisions, and the statutes under which they are litigation, may be deeper and longer lasting than their usefulness as a litigation tool. Findings also support the proposition that neither the executive nor the judiciary acts in isolation but instead they serve as tandem institutions guiding federal oversight of state policy making. Data for this analysis derive from archival documents, secondary sources, and 101 in-depth interviews.
