AI Summary
This bill, the Assistance for Rural Community Hospitals Act of 2022 (also known as the ARCH Act of 2022), amends the Social Security Act to extend two key Medicare payment provisions for rural hospitals. Specifically, it extends the Medicare-dependent hospital (MDH) payment methodology and the Medicare low-volume hospital (LVH) payments until October 1, 2027 and 2028, respectively. The MDH program provides enhanced Medicare payments to small rural hospitals that serve a high proportion of Medicare patients, while the LVH program provides additional payments to low-volume rural hospitals to help them maintain access to care in their communities.
