What happens when hospitals sue Medicare...in this case they won...BD
Medicare has agreed to pay 667 hospitals $666 million to settle a lawsuit over a reimbursement policy from the 1980s, the Wall Street Journal reports.
The policy, which took effect in 1986, changed Medicare reimbursement rules to exclude certain low-income patients from the formula used to determine whether hospitals qualify for greater compensation for treating a disproportionate number of indigent patients. Several hospitals challenged the rule, and it was overturned in 1997.
