Bill overview
This bill, the Rural Help Act of 2020, aims to address potential financial disparities between rural and urban hospitals. It directs the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to study whether rural hospitals face higher costs than urban hospitals when billing for inpatient care. If the study finds that rural hospitals consistently have higher costs, the bill authorizes the Secretary to adjust Medicare payments to rural hospitals to better reflect those expenses.
