This bill amends the Social Security Act to establish federal requirements for hospitals that discontinue services or close. Hospitals must notify the Secretary at least 90 days in advance, prohibit discontinuation of essential services during the notification period unless patient or employee safety is at risk, and submit detailed information about affected patients, employees, and communities. If the Secretary determines the closure would negatively impact access to essential services, the hospital must submit a mitigation plan; the Secretary will conduct a public comment period and may develop an alternative mitigation plan to preserve access. Hospitals that violate these requirements may be prohibited from enrolling in Medicare for up to three years.
