The Supreme Court on Wednesday kept alive the possibility that California doctors, pharmacists and senior citizens can challenge the state’s Medi-Cal reimbursement cuts.

But the closely divided court didn’t definitively side with the doctors. Instead, citing the complexity of the cases and some changed circumstances, justices ordered more arguments before a lower appellate court.

“It may be that not all of the considerations that may bear upon resolution of the issue have been presented,” Justice Stephen Breyer wrote for the majority.
