Bill Summary
Critical Access Hospital Relief Act of 2014
AI Summary
This bill, the Critical Access Hospital Relief Act of 2014, aims to amend Title XVIII of the Social Security Act, which governs Medicare, by removing a specific requirement for Critical Access Hospitals (CAHs). CAHs are small rural hospitals that provide essential healthcare services to their communities. Currently, Medicare requires that for inpatient services provided by a CAH to be covered, a physician must certify the patient's need for inpatient care within 96 hours of admission. This bill proposes to eliminate this 96-hour physician certification requirement, making it easier for CAHs to receive Medicare reimbursement for services furnished on or after January 1, 2014, by removing the need for this specific physician certification within that timeframe.
