Murphy Nursing Home, Inc. v. Rate Setting Commission
Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court
Decided December 27, 1973PublishedCited by 15 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtBraucher, J.
These cases, brought by a number of nursing homes, call for judicial review of the rules and regulations (the 1969 Regulations) established by the Rate Setting Commission (commission) on June 25, 1969, to govern the reimbursement of nursing homes for the care of publicly aided patients. The plaintiffs also challenge the constitutionality of the legislative “rate freeze” provided for in St. 1969, c. 800, § 6. We hold that the 1969 Regulations constitute a valid exercise of the authority of the commission and that the rate freeze is not unconstitutional either on its face or as applied.
