The New York Court of Appeals is scheduled to hear arguments Wednesday on the legality of a state regulation that limits the salaries of executives at state-contracted health care providers. 

A decision from the Court of Appeals could strike down the regulation, which was promulgated after an executive order from Gov. Andrew Cuomo in 2012 limiting such salaries. The regulation, promulgated by the state Department of Health, was targeted at providers who receive Medicaid payments from the state.
