Bill overview
The Research Act of 2020 aims to improve patient care and reduce ambulance diversions at hospitals. It directs the National Academy of Medicine to study the causes and impact of these diversions, particularly their effect on underserved communities. Hospitals that report ambulance diversion data will receive increased Medicare payments through 2024, while those that fail to report will see reduced payments starting in 2025. The bill also establishes a reporting requirement for hospitals to track and report diversion details.
