To amend title XVIII of the Social Security Act to adjust the eligibility for the rural emergency hospital designation under the Medicare program.

This bill changes which facilities can qualify as a rural emergency hospital under Medicare. Current law looks at a facility's status on a single date. The bill would instead let a facility qualify if it met the requirements at any point from January 1, 2015, through that date. It also says a facility can still qualify even if its national provider identification number changed because the facility changed owners.
