AMERICAN HOSPITAL ASSN. v. BECERRA 

Opinion of the Court 

interpretation, we do not agree with HHS’s interpretation 
of the statute.  We conclude that, absent a survey of hospi-
tals’  acquisition  costs,  HHS  may  not  vary  the  reimburse-
ment rates for 340B hospitals.  HHS’s 2018 and 2019 reim-
bursement rates for 340B hospitals were therefore contrary
to the statute and unlawful.

We reverse the judgment of the U. S. Court of Appeals for 
the D. C. Circuit and remand the case for further proceed-
ings consistent with this opinion. 

It is so ordered.
