Preserving Rehabilitation Innovation Centers Act of 2015

Requires the study also to specify the amount of such an increase if the Secretary determines that it is recommended.

Directs the Secretary also to study the access by individuals to rehabilitation care in rural communities in states where there is no rehabilitation innovation center.
