Supreme Court Rulings Impact Nursing Home Precedent and Medicaid Recipients' Rights.
TL;DR Summary
The Supreme Court's decision in the Health and Hospital Corporation of Marion County v. Talevski case allows nursing home residents and their families to sue nursing homes for violating federal regulations under the Federal Nursing Home Reform Act. The decision also eliminates the need for medical review panels in lawsuits against nursing homes. However, it may prompt nursing homes to find ways to avoid large lawsuits, such as getting residents to sign arbitration agreements.
