Rural Emergency Hospital Adjustment Act
This bill amends Medicare rules to expand eligibility for rural emergency hospitals. It changes the timeframe during which hospitals can qualify for this specific Medicare reimbursement status, allowing facilities to meet eligibility requirements at any point from January 1, 2015, onward. The change directly affects rural hospitals seeking to become designated Medicare rural emergency hospitals to receive appropriate federal funding. This is a technical adjustment to Medicare eligibility rules, not a new funding program.
