The AAMC, American Hospital Association (AHA), and other national organizations representing hospitals, have filed petitions asking the U.S. Supreme Court to reverse appeals court decisions in two important cases for patients and providers. Both decisions conflict with Congress’ clear intent and defer to the government’s inaccurate interpretation of the law. The two cases being appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court include: a lawsuit challenging the nearly 30% cut to 2018 and 2019 to Medicare payments for outpatient drugs at hospitals participating in the 340B Drug Pricing Program; and a lawsuit challenging payment reductions by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services in the 2019 outpatient payment rule for certain hospital outpatient off-campus provider-based departments.
