Summary
Hackensack Meridian Health promptly filed a lawsuit against HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra on the same day the Supreme Court overturned Chevron deference. The New Jersey-based health system challenges the formula for disproportionate share hospital payments, criticizing CMS' interpretations that have affected their Medicare reimbursements. Audrey Murphy, VP and chief legal officer, emphasized that the Supreme Court's decision allows for stricter adherence to congressional payment policies, which is crucial for the financial stability of nonprofit health systems like Hackensack. The lawsuit aims to ensure accurate future Medicare payments and clarity on supplemental security income reimbursements, signaling Hackensack's proactive stance in protecting its financial interests.
