Challenging Medicare Economics Rule Changes
Staff Writers
According to Modern Physician, a union representing 12,000 medical interns and residents is the latest organization to get behind a lawsuit seeking to stop a Medicaid economics rule change that would crimp the flow of enhanced payments to safety net hospitals.
Amicus Brief*
In a friend-of-the-court brief filed in U.S. District Court in Washington, the SEIU Healthcare-affiliated Committee of Interns and Residents argues that “the ability to collect above-cost Medicaid payments allows governmental healthcare providers to fulfill Medicaid’s mission by making it possible for safety net hospitals and the medical residents that work in them to provide quality healthcare to the nation’s poorest and most vulnerable citizens.”
Assessment
The lawsuit was filed in March by a coalition led by the National Association of Public Hospitals and Health Systems and including the American Hospital Association and the parties are seeking a preliminary injunction to block the rule from taking effect.
