All 50 States Apply to Participate in Rural Health Program
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services announced that all 50 states have submitted applications to the federal government’s Rural Health Transformation Program. Each application included a proposal outlining the state’s plan to improve the quality of rural health care. States that meet predetermined requirements will receive baseline funding, which will be distributed equally among the approved states. These states will then undergo a data-driven merit review to determine eligibility for additional funding through the program.
