QUESTIONS PRESENTED
More than 30 years ago, this Court first applied what would become known as the “Blessing factors,” holding that a Medicaid Act provision created a privately enforceable right to certain reimbursement rates. Wilder v. Va. Hosp. Ass’n, 496 U.S. 498, 509–10 (1990). Later, the Court distilled from Wilder a multi-factor test for deciding whether a “statutory provision gives rise to a federal right” privately enforceable under Section 1983. Blessing v. Freestone, 520 U.S. 329, 340 (1997). Five years later, though, the Court disparaged Blessing’s test while clarifying that only “an unambiguously conferred right is enforceable by § 1983.” Gonzaga University v. Doe, 536 U.S. 273, 282 (2002). Then, in Health & Hospital Corp. of Marion County v. Talevski, 599 U.S. 166, 180 (2023), the Court doubled down on Gonzaga’s “demanding bar.”
The Court did not apply Blessing or Wilder in Talevski, but it did not overrule them either. After the Court GVR’d this case in light of Talevski, the Fourth Circuit applied Wilder and Blessing again and reaffirmed its prior opinions, maintaining a 5–2 circuit split over the first question presented and a 3–1 circuit split over the proper reading of O’Bannon v. Town Court Nursing Center, 447 U.S. 773 (1980), which frames the second question. Those questions are:
- Whether the Medicaid Act’s any-qualified-provider provision unambiguously confers a private right upon a Medicaid beneficiary to choose a specific provider.
- What is the scope of a Medicaid beneficiary’s alleged right to choose a provider that a state has deemed disqualified?

1976: comparing FERPA with Social Security Act cooperative-federalism programs
Katherine Cudlipp, “The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act Two Years Later,” 11 University of Richmond Law Review 33 (1976), at 45-46; also printed in slightly different form at 122 Cong. Rec. 16447-16451 at 16449-50 (June 3, 1976) (remarks of Sen. Buckley).
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act Two Years Later-1
In an important case61 the Supreme Court did not require exhaustion of administrative remedies prior to resort to judicial relief. Welfare recipients requested court review of the compatibility of New York’s welfare laws with requirements of the Social Security Act. HEW was, at the time of the suit, reviewing New York’s statutes, and could have terminated federal funding if the state laws were found not to comply with federal criteria. The Court based its holding, in part, on the fact that petitioners could not “trigger” or participate in the Department’s review of state laws.
Complainants under the Buckley Amendment, in contrast, do have recourse to HEW; in fact, it is individual complaints which trigger HEW’s investigation. Past experience indicates that most conflicts can be resolved through the administrative mechanism provided by the Department. It would appear that in most cases plaintiffs seeking injunctive relief from a federal court would first have to pursue available remedies with HEW.
If the relief sought by individuals cannot be obtained from the agency or if the administrative remedy is not “complete and efficient,”62 courts may not await final agency action. When “great
and obvious damage” might be suffered, courts may likewise provide injunctive relief before an agency completes its review.63 Thus, if a case arose where violation of provisions of the Buckley Amendment raised the specter of great and immediate injury, where HEW’s procedures would not provide prompt enough relief, federal courts might excuse the failure to exhaust administrative remedies. However, if potential harm were of such a magnitude, it seems
reasonable to expect that a cause of action under state law, common or statutory, would hold promise of success. Then the federal court might decline to imply a remedy under the Buckley Amendment because of available relief elsewhere.

The questions presented were
QUESTIONS PRESENTED
More than 30 years ago, this Court first applied what would become known as the “Blessing factors,”
holding that a Medicaid Act provision created a privately enforceable right to certain reimbursement rates. Wilder v. Va. Hosp. Ass’n, 496 U.S. 498, 509–10 (1990). Later, the Court distilled from Wilder a multi- factor test for deciding whether a “statutory provision gives rise to a federal right” privately enforceable under Section 1983. Blessing v. Freestone, 520 U.S.
329, 340 (1997). Five years later, though, the Court disparaged Blessing’s test while clarifying that only “an unambiguously conferred right is enforceable by § 1983.” Gonzaga University v. Doe, 536 U.S. 273, 282 (2002). Then, in Health & Hospital Corp. of Marion County v. Talevski, 599 U.S. 166, 180 (2023), the Court doubled down on Gonzaga’s “demanding bar.”
The Court did not apply Blessing or Wilder in Talevski, but it did not overrule them either. After the Court GVR’d this case in light of Talevski, the Fourth Circuit applied Wilder and Blessing again and reaf- firmed its prior opinions, maintaining a 5–2 circuit split over the first question presented and a 3–1 cir- cuit split over the proper reading of O’Bannon v. Town Court Nursing Center, 447 U.S. 773 (1980), which frames the second question. Those questions are:
- Whether the Medicaid Act’s any-qualified- provider provision unambiguously confers a private right upon a Medicaid beneficiary to choose a specific provider.
- What is the scope of a Medicaid beneficiary’s alleged right to choose a provider that a state has deemed disqualified?
