AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill changes Medicare rules for rural health clinics that are not run by a physician. It would remove the current requirement in that part of the law and replace it with new requirements. Under the new requirements, such a clinic must have an arrangement, consistent with state and local law, with one or more physician assistants or nurse practitioners. Health services under that arrangement must follow state law or state rules on how physician assistants and nurse practitioners practice. The changes would take effect January 1, 2027.
