What this bill does

AI plain-language summary

This bill changes the rules for which hospitals can become "rural emergency hospitals" under Medicare. Currently, only hospitals that were open on December 27, 2020, can get this special designation that lets them provide emergency and short-term care. The bill would also allow hospitals that were open between January 1, 2014, and December 26, 2020, to qualify for this designation and receive special payments. These changes would start in 2027.
