Degnan, et al. v. Sebelius, et al., No. 13-3055 (8th Cir. 2014)
Annotate this CasePlaintiffs filed suit on behalf of themselves and a class, alleging a miscalculation of their Medicare Part B premium calculations. Plaintiffs conceded that they failed to exhaust administrative remedies. Because this case is not one of the exceptional cases where waiver of exhaustion is appropriate, the court affirmed the district court's determination that it lacked subject matter jurisdiction. The court affirmed the judgment of the district court on this issue and affirmed the district court's denial of mandamus relief where plaintiffs may pursue another avenue of relief, the administrative process.
Court Description: Civil case - Medicare. In suit alleging a miscalculation of Medicare Part B premiums, the district court did not err in dismissing the case for lack of jurisdiction based on its determination that the plaintiffs had failed to exhaust their administrative remedies and that waiver of the exhaustion requirement was not warranted.
