Medicaid program for the cost of "imputed interest" it incurred in purchasing eleven nursing homes in Alabama. Following an
administrative hearing, the hearing officer recommended that the Agency reimburse Beverly for the imputed interest cost. The
Agency's commissioner, however, did not accept that recommendation and denied reimbursement.
