Rural Physician Workforce Production Act of 2025

This bill changes how Medicare pays hospitals for training doctors. Under the new rules, certain hospitals can get extra Medicare payments when medical residents train in rural areas for at least eight weeks, as long as the hospital pays the resident's salary and benefits during that time. Hospitals can also get payments for residents in programs where at least half of the training happens in rural locations. The payment amount is based on the difference between what hospitals are eligible to receive and what they already get for medical education.
