Bill overview
This bill, the Preserving Rehabilitation Innovation Centers Act of 2019, aims to ensure continued access to specialized rehabilitation services by establishing a system for identifying and recognizing rehabilitation innovation centers. It directs the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to create and regularly update a public list of these centers, which are defined as nonprofit or government-owned facilities that conduct research on traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, or stroke rehabilitation and serve a significant number of Medicare patients. The bill also requires the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission to analyze cost data for these centers to assess payment adequacy and make recommendations for improvements.
