HR 1708

This bill, the Rebuild America’s Health Care Schools Act of 2025, aims to expand Medicare reimbursement for hospitals that train nursing and allied health students. It allows hospitals to be reimbursed for direct and indirect costs associated with these training programs, even if the training takes place at a related entity like a clinic or affiliated organization, as long as the entity holds a state license or accreditation. The bill also requires the Department of Health and Human Services to create regulations clarifying these changes and prohibits Medicare from recouping payments made to hospitals for allowable training costs from the previous six years.
