Bill overview
The Rural Health Care Access Act of 2025 aims to improve healthcare access in rural areas by changing how hospitals are designated as ‘critical access hospitals.’ Currently, these hospitals must meet specific distance requirements from other healthcare facilities. This bill removes those distance limitations, allowing states to designate any facility in a rural area as a critical access hospital, which qualifies them for special Medicare payments.
