Requires the Secretary to establish the necessary standards for effective and efficient development and oversight of rural case manager services and management plans to: (1) ensure the health and safety of Medicare beneficiaries furnished plan services; and (2) provide guidance on the process or processes that may be used to timely develop such plans.
Provides that Medicare limitations on certain physician referrals shall apply to a referral by a rural case manager to a rural agency in the same manner as such limitations apply to a referral by a physician to an entity with which the physician has a financial relationship.
