Mario Larrigui-Negron v. State of Florida, Agency for Health Care Administration

Summary

The First District Court of Appeal of Florida held that the administrative law judge erred in denying Mario Larrigui-Negron’s petition to reduce an Agency for Health Care Administration Medicaid lien. The court remanded the matter to the Division of Administrative Hearings with instructions to reduce the lien to $11,637.54.

Holdings

1. The ALJ erred as a matter of law by concluding that appellant failed to prove his case by a preponderance of the evidence when appellant presented sufficient uncontradicted evidence and AHCA presented no contradictory evidence.

Questions Presented

1. Whether the Administrative Law Judge erred as a matter of law by rejecting uncontradicted evidence supporting reduction of the AHCA Medicaid lien without a reasonable basis in the evidence.
