U.S. Supreme Court rebuffs UnitedHealth Group challenge on Medicare overpayments

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. (Reporting by Brendan Pierson; Editing by Will Dunham)
