The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to hear a case involving more than 200 hospitals in 32 states accusing the federal government of underpaying them on Medicare funding by approximately $1.5 billion per year. The case challenges the Department of Health and Human Services' (HHS) method for calculating disproportionate share hospital (DSH) payments, which are intended to support hospitals serving low-income populations. The justices will revisit their 2022 ruling that upheld the current Medicare reimbursement rates for treating older, low-income disabled patients. The hospitals argue that the current formula used by HHS for calculating these payments is flawed and results in significant financial shortfalls for facilities serving needy patients. The lawsuit seeks to overturn a decision by the D.C. Circuit.
