Bill overview
The Rural ER Access Act aims to improve healthcare access in rural areas by changing Medicare regulations. Currently, off-campus healthcare facilities must be within 35 miles of a main hospital or critical access hospital to qualify for Medicare reimbursement. This bill would remove that distance requirement, allowing more healthcare providers to receive Medicare payments and serve patients in underserved rural communities. This change could lead to increased healthcare options for residents of rural areas.
