Rural Hospital Support Act
This bill modifies and extends certain payment adjustments for rural hospitals under Medicare's inpatient prospective payment system.
Specifically, the bill indexes payment adjustments for sole community hospitals and Medicare-dependent hospitals to FY2016 operating costs, if it results in higher payments for such hospitals. The bill also makes payment adjustments for Medicare-dependent hospitals and low-volume hospitals permanent (the adjustments currently expire at the end of FY2022).
