AlohaCare v. Hawaii, Department of Human Services
Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
Decided July 14, 2009No. 08-16589PublishedCited by 47 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
BYBEE, Circuit Judge:
AlohaCare submitted a proposal to provide managed health care to Medicaid-eligible aged, blind, and disabled individuals. When the Hawaii Department of Human Services awarded the contract to two other health plans, AlohaCare brought suit under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, alleging that the state had violated the Medicaid Act. We must decide whether 42 U.S.C. § 1396b(m) confers a federal right to contract eligibility on AlohaCare that can be remedied under § 1983. For the reasons discussed below, we conclude that it does not and thus affirm the judgment of the district court.
