Restoring Rural Health Act

Amends a provision of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1395i–4(c)(2)(B)(i)) that governs certain hospitals by making two small edits to existing subclauses and adding a new subclause. The posted text shows the edits to subclauses (I) and (II) but does not include the full wording of the added subclause (III), so the precise substantive effect of the new material is unclear from the available text.

The changes are technical edits to statutory language that apply to hospitals covered by that code section. Because the new subclause text is missing, stakeholders should expect a change in statutory criteria or requirements for affected hospitals but cannot determine exactly how hospitals, patients, or Medicare administration will be altered until the full text of the addition is available.
