Increased Financial Support for Rural Hospitals
This bill modifies the calculation of Medicare payments for Sole Community Hospitals and Medicare-Dependent Hospitals.

Additionally, the bill indefinitely extends payment programs for low-volume hospitals and Medicare-dependent hospitals.
Key points
Rural hospitals (Sole Community Hospitals and Medicare-Dependent Hospitals) can receive higher Medicare payments by using cost data from 2016 as the base period.
Increased payment programs for small rural hospitals and Medicare-dependent hospitals are extended to subsequent fiscal years without an expiration date.
