As the CEO of Grays Harbor County Public Hospital District #1, I would like to
endorse the changes proposed. However, I would like to see the regulation
eliminate the clause that limits payment to charges. Providing care in rural
communities that often have a very depressed economy is financially challenging
and often exceeds the cost of providing the same care at larger facilities. Critical
access hospitals play a very important and necessary role within the communities
they serve, often filling a large gap in healthcare services. The proposed changes
will help to ensure the continued survival of rural hospitals like ours.
