U.S. Supreme Court rebuffs UnitedHealth Group challenge on Medicare overpayments
BY Reuters — 9:38 AM ET 06/21/2022
June 21 (Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday
declined to hear UnitedHealth Group Inc's (UNH) challenge to a
government rule requiring private insurers that administer
federally funded Medicare plans to return potentially billions
of dollars in overpayments they receive based on incorrect
diagnoses.
Turning away the Minnetonka, Minnesota-based insurer's
appeal, the justices left in place a lower court's ruling
reviving the rule after a federal judge had previously struck it
down.
