• holding that an agency may appeal to the PRRB from issuance of the Final Inpatient Prospective Payment System Rule
• explaining that an agency cannot continue to make erroneous computations once the agency is made aware of the miscalculation
• noting that budget neutrality required the Secretary to implement a rate adjustment “in a manner that would have no effect on the annual total of Medicare payments made to all hospitals throughout the country for inpatient services”
• noting in 2011 that CMS has carried forward its original standardized amount calculations ever since their original computation
• “[C]ourts ordinarily refuse to consider objections not submitted in accordance with agency procedures during the rulemaking process.”
