AHA files lawsuit against the “Two-Midnight” rule

AHA CEO Richard Umbdenstock released a statement saying in part, “Hospitals stand by a physician’s decision on what care is appropriate for each patient. The ‘two-midnight’ rule is misguided and we feel confident the court will agree.” Read more about the lawsuits on Modern Healthcare.
