The Supreme Court ruled unanimously last year that HHS unlawfully cut the payments to hospitals without following proper procedure, including conducting a survey of the hospitals’ acquisition cost of the drugs from pharmaceutical drugmakers. And now, thousands of U.S. hospitals are set to recoup more than $9 billion under a proposed remedy that the federal agency rolled out this summer. As part of that, more than 40 Indiana hospitals stand to collect a total of $222.2 million in lump-sum repayments to make up for what they lost over the past five years.
