Bill Summary
A BILL To amend title XVIII of the Social Security Act to perma- nently extend the Medicare-dependent hospital and low- volume hospital programs under the Medicare program.
AI Summary
This bill, also known as the "Rural HELP Act of 2022" or the "Rural Hospital Extensions for Low-volume Programs Act of 2022," aims to permanently extend the Medicare-dependent hospital (MDH) and low-volume hospital programs under the Medicare program. The MDH program provides enhanced payments to certain rural hospitals that serve a large number of Medicare patients, while the low-volume hospital program provides increased payments to small, rural hospitals with a low volume of patient discharges. This bill removes the current expiration dates for these programs, effectively making them permanent features of the Medicare system.
