Ohio Supreme Court Denies Medicaid’s Motion in LeadingAge Ohio Case

The Ohio Supreme Court has issued a new ruling in LeadingAge Ohio v. Ohio Department of Medicaid, denying the Department’s motion for reconsideration and stay of execution. The November 12 decision leaves intact the Court’s earlier ruling, which ordered the Department to recalculate and issue quality incentive payments owed to Ohio nursing homes under the state’s Medicaid reimbursement system.

This latest entry, published in the November 12 case announcements, reaffirms the Court’s prior decision in LeadingAge Ohio v. Ohio Department of Medicaid (2025-Ohio-3066). That ruling represented a significant step forward in ensuring fair and timely reimbursement for LeadingAge Ohio’s nonprofit members providing skilled nursing care across the state.

LeadingAge Ohio continues to work closely with state partners to monitor implementation and next steps following the Court’s action, and will share additional detail on Medicaid’s plans when they are known.
