Bill overview
The Rural Hospital Support Act aims to provide ongoing financial support to rural hospitals in the United States. Specifically, it proposes to adjust how Medicare payments are calculated for sole community and Medicare-dependent hospitals, basing them on costs from 2016 rather than previous years. The bill also makes these payment adjustments permanent and extends the duration of programs supporting low-volume and Medicare-dependent hospitals. Finally, it includes provisions to prevent changes to hospital classifications and weighting factors related to these payments.
