What’s in it
AI summary Starting in July 2022, small rural hospitals known as critical access hospitals will receive more money from the Medicaid program. Instead of their usual payment rate, these hospitals will be paid three times the standard amount for their services. This change affects how Medicaid pays for inpatient and outpatient care at these specific locations.1
Read the official explanation
This bill provides that for the fiscal period beginning July 1, 2022, under both fee-for-service and managed care administration of the Medicaid program, critical access hospitals shall be reimbursed at 300 percent of the cost-based reimbursement rate as determined using the standard critical access hospital methodology used in determining the reimbursement rates for other critical access hospital inpatient and outpatient services.
