The Oregon Health Sciences University appeals the district court's refusal to review Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Oregon's decision not to reopen reimbursement claims for services rendered by its University Hospital under the Medicare Act. The district court reached its decision on the grounds that neither agency review nor judicial review was permitted under the Act. We reverse and remand.
