Rural ER Access Act

This bill directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services to revise Medicare regulations within 60 days of its enactment. Its primary purpose is to eliminate a specific geographic requirement for off-campus facilities and organizations seeking provider-based status under the Medicare program. The legislation removes the rule mandating that these facilities be located within a 35-mile radius of a hospital or critical access hospital campus. This change is intended to broaden eligibility for provider-based status, potentially enhancing healthcare access, especially in rural communities.
