 Several Senators question prudence of CAH cuts APRIL 24, 2013
At a Senate Appropriations Subcommittee hearing on the President's budget currently underway, several Senators expressed concern over proposed cuts to Critical Access Hospitals (CAHs). The President's budget proposes to alter the CAH program in two ways. First, facilities designated by their states as "necessary providers" that are located less than ten miles from another facility would lose their status, regardless of community need, the type of facility less than ten miles from them, or the reason the state's governor designated them as necessary providers. Second, the budget calls for reducing reimbursement for all CAHs from 101% of "reasonable costs" to 100% of reasonable costs.
