On April 27, 2009 Congressmen Earl Pomeroy (D-ND), John Larson (D-CT), Lloyd Doggett (D-TX), and John Yarmuth (D-KY) introduced H.R. 2124, also known as the Medicare Long-Term Care Hospital Improvement Act of 2009 (the “Act”). The Act was introduced for the purpose of extending certain payment and regulatory relief (i.e., a reprieve from the “25% Rule,” which generally reduces payment for a certain percentage of patients transferred from short-term acute-care hospitals to long-term acute care hospitals (“LTACHs”)) gained by LTACHs under the Medicare, Medicaid, and SCHIP Extension Act of 2007 (“MMSEA”). The MMSEA also established a temporary three-year moratorium on the development of new LTACHs and new satellites and bed increases from December 29, 2007 to December 28, 2010. Read More...
