Description
Intervenors-Appellants appeal the district courts entry of a revised consent decree governing the hearing and appeal procedures in Tennessees Medicaid managed care program. The parties to the consent decree were the plaintiffs (the recipients of Medicaid in Tennessee) and the defendants, including the State of Tennessee. Appellants contend that since they were not parties to the consent decree, they can not be bound by it under the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Appellants also argue that the district court failed to conduct a fairness hearing to determine the reasonableness of the consent decree. Finally, Appellants raise several substantive objections to the consent decree. For the reasons provided below, we REMAND this case to allow the district court to conduct a fairness hearing.
