A BILL To amend title XVIII of the Social Security Act to rebase the calculation of payments for sole community hospitals and Medicare-dependent hospitals, and for other pur- poses.
AI Summary
This bill, the Rural Hospital Support Act, aims to amend the Social Security Act to rebase the calculation of payments for sole community hospitals (SCHs) and Medicare-dependent hospitals (MDHs). Specifically, it allows SCHs to substitute their "subparagraph (M) rebased target amount" for the standard payment amount if it results in greater payment, and it similarly allows MDHs to rebase their target amounts using a 2016 base year. The bill also prohibits the Secretary of Health and Human Services from making certain adjustments to the rebased payments for SCHs and MDHs. Additionally, it extends the MDH program and the increased payments under the Medicare low-volume hospital program.
