Description
Judgment affirmed, with costs. Section 366 of the Social Services Law precipitates a conundrum, like some ancient riddle, to which no one, including the parties, can offer a satisfactory logical resolution. This much is evident, however: Under the applicable formula of paragraph (c) of subdivision 2 petitioner is entitled to Medicaid reimbursement for medical costs in excess of $838.56, the formula amount by which his annualized income exceeds the Medicaid eligibility level. It is noted, also, that the commissioner presents no persuasive authority to support his contention that Medicaid payments to the provider hospital may not be supplemented from the patients own funds (see People v Womans Christian Assn. of Jamestown, 44 N.Y.2d 466, 472). Thus, depending on the terms and conditions obtainable from the hospital, the County Department of Social Services may be liable to reimburse the hospital for $482.32, in addition to payments, if any, made by petitioner. The computation itself, which may depend on what reimbursement the hospital, not a party to this proceeding, is willing to accept, must be left to the commissioner.
