The American Hospital Association yesterday asked to meet with the team of federal officials that will decide how the government will repay 340B hospitals for five years’ worth of illegal Medicare Part B drug reimbursement cuts. The amount of refunds could total close to $10 billion.
“I write in hope of expediting this administrative process and avoiding further legal
challenges,” AHA General Counsel Melinda Hatton said in the Feb. 1 letter to U.S. Department of Health and Human Services General Counsel Sam Bagentos. “As the AHA has stated before, we are willing to work with HHS to assure a fair and equitable resolution of these issues, which have already taken far too long to resolve, at great cost to the entire hospital field.”
