The association for U.S. for-profit hospitals submitted a brief to the U.S. Supreme Court and released a study today arguing against reversing the nearly 30 percent cut in what Medicare pays many public and private nonprofit hospitals for physician-administered, 340B-purchased drugs.

Three of those groups—the American Hospital Association (AHA), the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC), and America’s Essential Hospitals—asked the Supreme Court in February to overturn a federal appeals court’s 2-1 decision in July 2020 upholding the reimbursement reductions, which began in 2018 and total an estimated $1.6 billion annually.
