AI Summary
This bill, the Rural ER Access Act, directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services to revise Medicare program regulations to remove the requirement that an off-campus facility or organization must be located within a 35-mile radius of a hospital or critical access hospital in order to be eligible for provider-based status. This change aims to improve access to emergency care services in rural areas by allowing off-campus facilities to be established more flexibly, without the current location restriction.
