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 for the rebasing of the target amount for SCHs to their 2016 cost reporting period, and for MDHs, the 2016 cost reporting period can be substituted if it results in a higher target amount. The bill also prohibits certain adjustments to the classifications and weighting factors used to calculate payments for SCHs and MDHs. Additionally, it extends the MDH program and the increased payments under the Medicare Low-Volume Hospital Program.
