Summary of Bill HR 1924

Bill 119 HR 1924, also known as the "Establishing a New Criterion for Nonapplication of Site-Neutral Payments to Long-Term Care Hospitals Act," aims to make changes to the Medicare program under Title XVIII of the Social Security Act. Specifically, the bill seeks to create a new standard for determining when site-neutral payments should not apply to long-term care hospitals.

Currently, site-neutral payments are used to ensure that Medicare pays the same amount for services regardless of where they are provided, in an effort to promote cost efficiency and quality of care. However, this bill proposes that long-term care hospitals should be exempt from these site-neutral payments under certain circumstances.

The bill does not specify the exact criteria for when site-neutral payments should not apply to long-term care hospitals, but it does indicate that a new standard will be established. This new criterion will likely take into account the unique needs and services provided by long-term care hospitals, which often care for patients with complex medical conditions requiring specialized care. Overall, Bill 119 HR 1924 aims to address concerns about the impact of site-neutral payments on long-term care hospitals and ensure that they are able to continue providing high-quality care to their patients. It is important to note that this bill is still in the early stages of the legislative process and may undergo changes as it moves through Congress.
