Georgia Medicaid program challenged in courts

By Amy Lynn Sorrel, AMNews staff. Sept. 1, 2008. A federal trial court rules the state cannot deny medically necessary services to children. A separate lawsuit on Medicaid appeals is pending. In one case, a federal trial court in June ruled that the state does not have the authority to reduce the amount of Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic, and Treatment services prescribed by a physician to child beneficiaries. Meanwhile, in a separate case in the Superior Court of Fulton County, three adults with disabilities and Medicaid coverage allege the Dept. of Community Health unfairly delayed their appeals of coverage denials.
