Several Supreme Court justices questioned key parts of the Department of Health and Human Services’ (HHS’) decision to cut Medicare reimbursements to 340B hospitals by nearly 30%.
The Supreme Court heard oral arguments Tuesday in American Hospital Association (AHA) vs. Becerra, centering on a 2018 decision to cut outpatient Medicare drug reimbursements to 340B facilities by nearly 30%. AHA and other hospital groups have sued to halt the cuts, and an appellate court sided with HHS that it has the power to make the cuts.
