583 F.3d 1 (2009)

ANNA JAQUES HOSPITAL, Et Al., Appellees v. Kathleen SEBELIUS, In her Official Capacity as Secretary of the United States Department of Health and Human Services, Appellant.

United States Court of Appeals, District of Columbia Circuit.

Decided September 11, 2009.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Stephanie R. Marcus, Attorney, U.S. Department of Justice, argued the cause for appellant. With her on the briefs were Michael F. Hertz, Acting Assistant Attorney General, Jeffrey A. Taylor, U.S. Attorney, and Mark B. Stern, Attorney. R. Craig Lawrence, Assistant U.S. Attorney, entered an appearance.

Ankur J. Goel argued the cause for appellees. With him on the brief were M. Miller Baker and Kelly M. Falls.

Opinion for the Court filed by Circuit Judge GRIFFITH.

GRIFFITH, Circuit Judge:

The Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services appeals the decision of the district court that she improperly excluded the labor costs of certain types of hospitals from her calculation of Medicare reimbursements due to appellees. Because we conclude that the Secretary's exclusion of these costs was based on a reasonable interpretation of her statutory authority, we reverse the judgment of the district court.
