Rebuild America’s Health Care Schools Act of 2024

This bill changes Medicare reimbursement rules to support hospitals running nursing and allied health education programs. It allows hospitals to count more costs (including overhead and training expenses) for these programs in their Medicare cost reports, provided the programs are licensed or accredited by state or national bodies. The bill also prohibits Medicare from recouping past payments for these costs and requires refunds for any amounts recouped in the past six years. This directly affects hospitals and their affiliated health education programs participating in Medicare.
