Decision from Appeals Court Re: Site Neutral Payment Policy. July 17, 2020
No. 20-5193                                     September Term, 2019                                      …
Motion to expedite appeal regarding disclosure of negotiated charges.
AHA, hospitals sue to require HHS to meet deadlines for deciding appeals.
Notice is hereby given that Plaintiffs are appealing to the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit from the Court’s final order in this case, entered June 23, 2020 (ECF No. 36).
For the reasons discussed below, the Court rejects those challenges, denies Plaintiffs’ Motion for Summary Judgment, ECF No. 13, and grants Defendant’s Motion for Summary Judgment, ECF No. 19.
The inability of Plaintiffs and their amici to agree on the interpretation of a supposedly straightforward provision is strong evidence that this is a case where Chevron deference, if needed, is appropriate.
