The Supreme Court decided that medical providers may not sue drug manufacturers to enforce a price cap imposed by the Public Health Service Act on Medicaid-covered outpatient drugs. That law requires drug manufacturers to provide discounted prices to specified healthcare providers, but did not expressly provide the providers with a right to sue to enforce the requirement. The Court decided that such a right is not implied in the statute. A different result could have affected whether third-party beneficiaries of other federal contracting statutes may also have the right to sue manufacturers.
