Plain-English summary
Amends title XVIII (Medicare) of the Social Security Act to consider the aggregate number of resident workers who commute from the county in which a hospital is located to contiguous metropolitan statistical areas, rather than only considering the number of workers commuting to a single metropolitan area, for the purpose of determining whether such hospital should be paid at urban rather than rural rates.
