2022 United States Supreme Court case

Becerra v. Empire Health Foundation, For Valley Hospital Medical Center, 597 U.S. 424 (2022), was a United States Supreme Court case in which the Court clarified which patients hospitals are allowed to be reimbursed by Medicare for treating, and at what rate. : 1  In a 5–4 opinion written by Justice Elena Kagan , the Court held that "in calculating the Medicare fraction, individuals "entitled to [Medicare Part A] benefits" are all those qualifying for the program, regardless of whether they receive Medicare payments for part or all of a hospital stay." : 2
