Cushion v. Department of Path
Supreme Court of Vermont
Decided July 8, 2002No. 01-240 & 01-241PublishedCited by 11 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
In these consolidated appeals, petitioners Mona Cushion and Barbara Yates appeal from decisions of the Secretary of Human Services (Secre tary) denying their requested Medicaid coverage for partial dentures. The Secretary overturned a decision by the Human Services Board (Board) that the regulatory prohibition on coverage for partial dentures is an impermissible limitation on the amount, duration, and scope of the federal purpose in providing dental services to Medicaid patients. Because the Secretary’s construction of the state’s Medicaid regulations violates federal law, we reverse.
