AI Summary

This bill extends the temporary suspension of Medicare sequestration, which refers to across-the-board spending cuts to Medicare, from March 31, 2021 to December 31, 2021. It also makes technical corrections related to rural health clinic payments and additional amounts for certain hospitals with high disproportionate share, provisions that were included in previous legislation such as the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 and the Balanced Budget Act of 1997. The goal of the bill is to prevent the scheduled across-the-board direct spending cuts that would have otherwise taken effect.
