Description
Appellant, Department of Public Welfare of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (DPW), appeals from two separate orders of the Commonwealth Court reversing appellants denial of Medicaid payments to appellee Geoffrey M. Hosta and Associates and appellee Emergency Association of Southwestern Pennsylvania. Forbes Health System and Geoffrey M. Hosta and Associates v. Commonwealth, DPW, 43 Pa. Commw. 609, 403 A.2d 625 (1979); Emergency Association of Southwestern Penn. v. Commonwealth, DPW, 46 Pa. Commw. 599, 407 A.2d 91 (1979). At issue is whether, under Medical Assistance regulations and the accompanying statutes, private independent physician groups which contract with hospitals to provide emergency room physician coverage are entitled to Medicaid reimbursement for services rendered to Medical Assistance patients while on emergency room duty, even though these hospitals receive Medicaid reimbursement for all emergency room services, including physician coverage. Because these cases present similar facts and an identical issue of law, they have been consolidated for purposes of appeal. We conclude that the Commonwealth Court exceeded the scope of judicial review of the determination of DPW and that the regulations as interpreted by DPW are valid under state and federal law. Thus, we reverse the orders of the Commonwealth Court.
