Bill overview
The Assistance for Rural Community Hospitals Act, or the ARCH Act, extends key Medicare payment programs for rural hospitals through 2031. Specifically, it extends payments to small, Medicare-dependent rural hospitals and low-volume hospitals. The bill also requires the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to conduct a report analyzing the classifications of rural hospitals under Medicare and offering recommendations for simplification and improvements to financial sustainability. This aims to support financially struggling rural hospitals and ensure access to healthcare in rural areas.
