What it does
The bill would amend Medicaid law to clarify that rural emergency hospitals are treated as outpatient hospitals for payment purposes, ensuring they receive Medicaid reimbursement for services they provide. It also specifies that services delivered in a nursing facility that is a distinct part of a rural emergency hospital are included in Medicaid coverage. The changes would take effect upon enactment, with the Secretary of Health and Human Services required to issue final regulations within 12 months to implement the amendments.
