We are pleased to announce that Rehoboth McKinley Christian Health Care Services (RMCHCS) has successfully transitioned from an acute care hospital to a Critical Access Hospital (CAH). This designation primarily affects how we receive Medicare payments and requires certain changes in documenting patient stay lengths in medical charts.

Important Medicare Billing Updates



Our transition to CAH status has impacted Medicare billing for patients with traditional Medicare. While we officially began the new Medicare billing process on January 19, 2024, the CAH designation retroactively took effect on August 3, 2023. Unfortunately, we did not receive the updated billing guidelines from Medicare until mid-January, so we must rebill all Medicare claims dating back to August 3, 2023.
