Supreme Court of Vermont September 19, 1997, 96-427 (Brisson v. Department of Social Welfare)

Johnson, J.

Petitioner Lorraine Brisson appeals from the Secretary of Human Services’s order denying Medicaid funding for a closed-circuit television (CCTV). Brisson argues that a CCTV meets the Medicaid definition of “eyeglasses” and that the Secretary’s denial of coverage for a CCTV is inconsistent with federal Medicaid requirements. We agree and reverse the Secretary’s order.
