U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 13-2084
U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis
[PUBLISHED] [Melloy, Author, with Wollman and Benton, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Administrative law - Medicare. 42 U.S.C. Sec. 1395w-3 gave
the Department of Health and Human Services broad authority to establish
competitive acquisition procedures for durable medical goods and created a
statutory bar to the type of challenge mounted here; while there is a
possibility of review for ultra vires actions, the actions of the agency
were not ultra vires; challenge to the competitive bidding regime on the
ground it was an unconstitutional taking is rejected.
