According to the lawsuit filed Sept. 27, HHS’ categorization of hospitals for CARES Act reimbursements was “arbitrary and failed to account for the unique characteristics — and revenue losses — of single specialty hospitals.”
Although it treated COVID-19 patients from other hospitals to help with overflow — and suffered losses after cutting elective orthopedic surgeries — the hospital said its funds were “drastically cut” from its alleged entitlement of about $160 million to $110 million.
HHS’ Health Resources and Services Administration was responsible for the categorization and payouts, according to Bloomberg Law.
