1. In January, U.S. District Judge Eduardo C. Robreno’s ruled that CMS was within its rights when it determined that Wills did not provide enough inpatient care to qualify as a hospital in 2013. The appeal challenges that ruling.
2. Qualifying as a hospital would allow Wills to receive greater Medicare reimbursements.
3. Wills’ current status as an ASC prevents it from performing certain complex procedures.
4. The center previously operated as a hospital. In 2006, it sold its inpatient business to Philadelphia-based Thomas Jefferson Hospital. CMS reclassified it as an ASC.
