Supporting Access to Rural Community Hospitals Act of 2025

What this bill does

  • The bill temporarily allows hospitals in a rural demonstration program to qualify as critical access hospitals and receive special Medicare payments.
  • Rural hospitals that are larger than the usual limit but participate in the Rural Community Hospital Demonstration Program are affected.
  • The provision lasts for one year and applies to hospitals already enrolled in the federal demonstration program.

  1. 01

    How would temporary Medicare payment increases for larger rural hospitals in the demonstration program affect smaller rural hospitals not included in the program?

  2. 02

    What evidence supports the claim that these hospitals need special Medicare payments to remain financially viable for their communities?

  3. 03

    Why does the bill limit this provision to one year rather than making it permanent or allowing wider rural hospital participation?
