RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - A North Carolina appeals court has delayed an effort by Medicaid officials to review and reduce personal care services for thousands of people living at home.
The state Court of Appeals has blocked a judge's order last week that said an administrative law judge didn't have jurisdiction to decide if the state can review care for more than 30,000 patients.
Tuesday's decision means the administrative judge's order will stay in place, blocking the state's Medicaid office patient review while the appeals court examines the case.
In-home care providers complain the state's review is unlawful because other measures weren't tried first to reduce spending by $40 million.
