(June 28, 2024) – Join Audrey Dunkel and Landon Fulmer as they discuss recent federal legislative activities in the
latest episode of
Plains Spoken, the KHA podcast. As we near the August recess, all signals point to a delayed final budget, including decisions on sequestration, telehealth payment flexibility, low-volume and Medicare-dependent hospitals, and site-neutral payments. It's thought the broader budget discussion will not happen until after the election when political outcomes are determined. They also discuss where several bills stand, including Rural Emergency Hospital 2.0, 340B, prior authorization and advocacy efforts on the Visa approval process for foreign nurses wishing to work in the U.S.
