End of Chevron Deference: Opportunities & Threats for the Healthcare Industry
Description
For decades, healthcare providers have been challenging regulations in court. In many cases, judges cited Chevron deference as the basis for upholding agencies’ interpretations of authorizing statutes. In summer 2024, however, the Supreme Court in Loper Bright Enterprises overruled Chevron, ruling that courts–not agencies–are responsible for interpreting ambiguous statutory provisions.
During this webinar, PYA’s Martie Ross and Kathy Reep:
- Gave a straightforward explanation of Chevron deference and the practical impact of the Loper Bright Enterprises decision
- Addressed the immediate and longer-term impacts—both good and bad—of the Supreme Court’s decision on healthcare providers
- Discussed lessons learned from earlier lawsuits challenging healthcare regulations and what they expect to see from providers looking to protect their interests through the rulemaking process and subsequent litigation.
The webinar took place on September 25, 2024.
This webinar is part of PYA’s twice-monthly Healthcare Regulatory Roundup, a popular series during which PYA experts provide practical insights on the latest industry regulatory developments.
