This bill creates a high acuity exception so those patients who we know need ltch care can get it immediately. The bill also extends site neutral payment rates through 2032, ensuring non LTCH patients are not receiving the higher reimbursement rate when it is not clinically necessary. A common sense budgetary safeguard for all. This also allows patients in critical access hospitals to transfer directly to HealthTacs. (02:15–02:26)
