In '''''Association of American Physicians & Surgeons v. Weinberger''''' (AAPS), 395 F. Supp. 125, 1975 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 12428 (N.D. Ill. 1975), ''aff'd sub nom.'', ''Association of American Physicians & Surgeons v. Mathews'', 423 U.S. 975 (1975), a [[federal]] district court rejected a physicians' group's challenge to the [[federal]] "Professional Standards Review" Law (42 U.S.C. Section 1320c through Section 1320c-19).  A three-judge court was convened in accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. Sections 2282 and 2284 and the panel ruled in favor of the [[government]]'s motion for [[summary judgment]].

The case arose from the [[federal]] government assuming the position as the largest health insurer in the United States through the enactment of the medicare and medicaid programs (42 U.S.C. Sections 1395-1395pp and 42 U.S.C. Sections 1396-1396i respectively), and combating overutilization by enacting Section 249F of Title II of the 1972 Amendments to the Social Security Act, 42 U.S.C. Sections 1320c—1320c-19, entitled "Professional Standards Review."  This law created a number of new organizations and some new limitations of liability.
