The court ruled Humana’s compliance costs constitute substantial hardship and denied the DOJ’s motion to dismiss for lack of standing.
A federal judge for the Northern District of Texas in Fort Worth has ruled against the Department of Justice’s motion to dismiss a case brought by Humana.
Judge Reed O’Connor also denied the DOJ’s motion to transfer the court venue to Dallas.
This means that Humana’s case over Medicare Advantage audits can move forward. O’Connor ordered both parties to submit a joint schedule for summary judgment briefings by June 20.
WHY THIS MATTERS
Humana brought the lawsuit on September 1, 2023, based on a final rule issued by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services that changes previous audit procedures.
