Southwest Georgia Hospital Officials Encouraged by New Federal Bill
Tuesday, April 26th, 2016
Health care officials in Southwest Georgia are encouraged by a bill introduced by four United States senators, including one from Georgia, meant to improve reimbursements for financially-strained rural hospitals.
U.S. Sens. Johnny Isakson, R-Ga., Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., Mark Warner, D-Va., and Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, introduced legislation last week meant to ensure hospitals are fairly reimbursed for their services by the federal government so they are able to remain open, especially in underserved and economically struggling regions.
