The Supreme Court heard oral argument for Azar v. Allina Health Services, a case concerning Medicare reimbursement payments to hospitals. The court will be deciding whether the Health and Human Services Department's new formula for the Medicare Disproportionate Share Hospital (DSH) payment is legal. These reimbursement payments mainly go to hospitals that treat low-income or uninsured patients. Allina Health Services, a group of non-profit hospitals argue that the new formula violates federal law because the agency did not undergo a notice and comment period. The new formula resulted in lower reimbursements for hospitals. At stake is billions of dollars for both sides, the federal government and hospitals. Justice Brett Kavanaugh recused himself from this case because he was part of the three-judge panel who heard the case at the DC Circuit Court of Appeals and authored the opinion siding with the hospitals.
