Rebuild America’s Health Care Schools Act of 2025

Medicare help for hospital training costs

If enacted, qualifying hospitals could count all direct and indirect training costs under Medicare. Programs must be licensed by a state or accredited by a national or regional group. This would cover costs the hospital pays and costs from related entities under common control. Related entities could include shared-board, sole member, or same-entity relationships. Training done at the hospital or at a related entity would qualify. These costs would be allowed for cost reports that begin on or after enactment. Medicare could not recoup or cut Part A payments for such costs on or after enactment. That bar would apply to costs listed on a hospital's Medicare cost report. The Department of Health and Human Services would refund recoupments from the six years before enactment. It would issue rules within 120 days.
