Bill Would Strengthen Critical Access Hospital System
Sen. Norm Coleman (R-MN) introduced the Rural Health Services Preservation Act, AHA-supported
legislation that would ensure critical access hospitals receive at least 101%
of costs for inpatient, swing-bed and outpatient hospital services provided to
Medicare Advantage patients. The senator said the bill would create certainty
in payments and strengthen the CAH system. “With over a million Minnesotans in
rural communities utilizing Critical Access Hospitals each year, we need a
comprehensive approach to address the significant and unique challenges our
rural hospitals face,” Coleman said. The bill was one of seven rural health
initiatives unveiled by the senator.
