Case Summary

A Medicaid beneficiary sought to enforce the program’s any-qualified-provider provision through 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The Court held that the statutory language does not clearly and unambiguously confer an individual right enforceable through section 1983. The decision limited the availability of private federal-court enforcement for this Medicaid provider-choice provision.
