Summary
This bill amends Medicare rules to expand eligibility for the rural emergency hospital designation under the Social Security Act. It allows certain hospitals that ceased operations between January 1, 2014, and December 26, 2020—specifically critical access hospitals and rural subsection (d) hospitals—to reopen and qualify as rural emergency hospitals. The bill also modifies payment adjustments for these reopened facilities based on their proximity to other hospitals, with reduced or eliminated payment increases for those located within 10–35 miles of another hospital.
