Key points
Rural hospitals can request recalculation of Medicare payments if prior calculations were incorrect.
This applies to hospitals that are the sole providers in their community or are highly dependent on Medicare.
The goal is to financially support these hospitals to ensure they can continue providing medical services to rural residents.
