Summary
The bill adds language to the Social Security Act so a hospital that has been designated as a Critical Access Hospital will not lose that status because a new highway, bridge, overpass or tunnel changes travel distances. It protects rural hospitals from losing federal reimbursement eligibility when transportation infrastructure is upgraded. The change applies to any state‑designated Critical Access Hospital.
