What this amendment would do
SA 4050, submitted by Mr. Schiff, aims to change the bill by adding a requirement that the Administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services cannot end a critical access hospital provider agreement for specific hospitals.
- The restriction applies to hospitals that were designated and certified as critical access hospitals as of January 1, 2024.
- It covers hospitals that receive notice from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services between December 1, 2024, and January 1, 2027, stating they do not meet distance requirements under section 1820(c)(2)(B)(i)(I) of the Social Security Act.
The amendment also specifies that the Administrator will use available funds from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Program Management Account to pay for any additional costs resulting from this change.
