State of Florida, Agency for Health Care Administration v. Estabrook
22 FLW D2299
Agency for Health Care Administration sought to recover
from claimant's settlement of workers' compensation
case Medicaid benefits paid. Lower court determined
that the workers' compensation settlement proceeds
received by the claimant did not include any expenses
which had been paid by Medicaid and accordingly, denied
the petition to enforce a Medicaid lien. Court
determined on appeal that the trial court's order
denying the Medicaid lien came to the appellate court
with a presumption of correctness and there was no
evidence in the record which would suggest that the
trial court's determination was against the manifest
weight of the evidence. Trial court's determination
affirmed.
