Monitor Mondays

For nearly four decades, a judicial principle known as “Chevron deference” has guided the federal courts as they reviewed litigation associated with federal agencies. Chevron deference allowed legislators to leave statutes somewhat vague, assuming that an agency full of government experts would sort out the details and promulgate effective regulation.But, according to a recent U.S. Supreme Court (SCOTUS) decision, the principle is fundamentally flawed – in fact, fatally flawed. The decision throws it out in its entirety. This has the potential to upend years of U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) regulation.Distinguished physician and attorney Dr. John K. Hall will report on the resultant doom and gloom of potential outcomes, and how it may affect providers and payers, during the next live edition of Monitor Mondays.Broadcast segments will also include these instantly recognizable features:• Monday Rounds: Ronald Hirsch, MD, vice president
