On December 4, the Supreme Court heard oral argument in Sebelius v. Auburn Regional Medical Center. This case involves Medicare payments to hospitals. The issue is whether a 180-day statutory time limit for filing an appeal with the Provider Reimbursement Review Board from a final Medicare payment determination is subject to equitable tolling--meaning that a court has power to delay the running of the time limit in the interests of fairness.
To discuss the case, we have Evan Young, a senior associate at Baker Botts, LLP.
