St. Alphonsus RMC v. Gooding County
Annotate this CaseGooding County appealed the district court’s decision reversing the Gooding County Board of Commissioners’s (BOCC) decision affirming the denial of a third-party medical indigency application. In 2013, Saint Alphonsus Regional Medical Center (Hospital) submitted a third-party medical indigency application to the Department of Health and Welfare on behalf of a patient who had been hospitalized at its facility since July 27, 2013. The County Clerk denied the application on the basis that it was untimely filed, and the BOCC affirmed. The Hospital appealed that decision to the Gooding County district court, which reversed the decision and remanded for further proceedings. Gooding County then appealed to this Court. On appeal, Gooding County argued that the district court erred when it held that the date of admission is excluded when calculating an application’s deadline under Idaho Code section 31-3505(3). Finding no reversible error, the Supreme Court affirmed.
