Easier Medicare Access for Rural Healthcare Facilities.

This act aims to remove the requirement that off-campus medical facilities must be within a 35-mile radius of a hospital to be covered by Medicare. This change could make healthcare more accessible for rural residents, as more local facilities will be able to provide services under health insurance.
Key points
Improves access to healthcare for rural residents by removing location restrictions for medical facilities.
More local clinics and health centers will be able to partner with Medicare, increasing the availability of medical services.
