Bill > SB111

This bill amends Georgia law to revise the definition of a "rural hospital organization" to include rural freestanding emergency departments in addition to acute care hospitals, and clarifies that the hospital's primary campus must be located in a rural county or be a critical access hospital. It also updates requirements for participation in Medicaid and Medicare, and modifies the percentage of annual net revenue that must be categorized as indigent care, charity care, or bad debt from 10% to 5%, while also removing a complex calculation related to patient margins.
