The District of Columbia owes D.C.'s Specialty Hospital of Washington $1.8 million it wrongly withheld, according to a Washington Business Journal report.
D.C. had been withholding new payments to the hospital to recoup losses from an overpayment to the hospital of $4.8 million from 2005-2007, which a court ruled in 2009. The hospital's challenge of this ruling resulted in an agreement between the hospital and District over 2006 and 2007 payments.
The 2005 payments, however, were in dispute because the hospital missed a deadline to seek the funds. An administrative judge ruled the District had wrongly applied the deadline and that it provided a wrong address for filing an appeal.
