Rural Health Clinic Location Modernization Act of 2025
Refreshed 5 h ago
Introduced 2025-09-08Topic: health careSummary
AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill changes a location rule in Medicare law for rural health clinics. Under current law, a clinic generally cannot qualify as a rural health clinic if it is in an "urbanized area" as defined by the Census Bureau. The bill replaces that term with "an urban area (as defined by the Bureau of the Census) with a population of 50,000 or more." The change would apply beginning January 1, 2027.
