Jackson Park Hospital Foundation v. United States

Jackson Park Hospital Foundation (Foundation) asks reimbursement under the Medicare Act, 42 U.S.C. § 1395 et seq. (1976) (amended Supp. Ill 1979), for costs based on the depreciation of its hospital and on interest payments it made. The Government says that regulations promulgated under the Act, 42 U.S.C. §§ 1395x(v)(l)(A), 1395(hh) (1976), prevent further reimbursement because of the close relationship between the Foundation and its seller and lender. The case properly comes before us on cross-motions for summary judgment. We hold for the defendant.
