SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) In the United States, there are an estimated 1,181 
        inpatient rehabilitation facilities. Among these facilities is 
        a small group of inpatient rehabilitation institutions that are 
        contributing to the future of rehabilitation care medicine, as 
        well as to patient recovery, scientific innovation, and quality 
        of life.
            (2) This unique category of inpatient rehabilitation 
        institutions treats the most complex patient conditions, such 
        as traumatic brain injury, stroke, spinal cord injury, 
        childhood disease, burns, and wartime injuries.
            (3) These leading inpatient rehabilitation institutions are 
        all not-for-profit or Government-owned institutions and serve a 
        high volume of Medicare or Medicaid beneficiaries.
            (4) These leading inpatient rehabilitation institutions 
        have been recognized by the Federal Government for their 
        contributions to cutting-edge research to develop solutions 
        that enhance quality of care, improve patient outcomes, and 
        reduce health care costs.
            (5) These leading inpatient rehabilitation institutions 
        help to improve the practice and standard of rehabilitation 
        medicine across the Nation in urban, suburban, and rural 
        communities by training physicians, medical students, and other 
        clinicians, and providing care to patients from all 50 States.
            (6) It is vital that these leading inpatient rehabilitation 
        institutions are supported so they can continue to lead the 
        Nation's efforts to--
                    (A) advance integrated, multidisciplinary 
                rehabilitation research;
                    (B) provide cutting-edge medical care to the most 
                complex rehabilitation patients;
                    (C) serve as education and training facilities for 
                the physicians, nurses, and other health professionals 
                who serve rehabilitation patients;
                    (D) ensure Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries 
                receive state-of-the-art, high-quality rehabilitation 
                care by developing and disseminating best practices and 
                advancing the quality of care utilized by post-acute 
                providers in all 50 States; and
                    (E) support other inpatient rehabilitation 
                institutions in rural areas to help ensure access to 
                quality post-acute care for patients living in these 
                communities.

                        the prospective payment rate to rehabilitation 
                        innovation centers, the Secretary may provide 
                        on a prospective basis for an appropriate

    (b) Study and Report to Congress on Access to Rehabilitation Care 
in Rural Communities in States That Do Not Have a Rehabilitation 
Innovation Center.--
            (1) Study.--The Secretary of Health and Human Services 
        shall conduct a study on access by individuals (including, but 
        not limited to, Medicare beneficiaries) to rehabilitation care 
        in rural communities in States in which there is no 
        rehabilitation innovation center (as defined in section 
        1886(j)(8)(B) of the Social Security Act, as added by 
        subsection (a)).
            (2) Report.--Not later than July 1, 2017, the Secretary of 
        Health and Human Services shall submit to Congress a report on 
        the study conducted under paragraph (1), together with 
        recommendations for such legislation and administrative action 
        as the Secretary determines appropriate.
[A]:
Preserving Rehabilitation Innovation Centers Act of 2015   Amends title XVIII (Medicare) of the Social Security Act to direct the Secretary of Health and Human Services to study whether there should be an increase in the prospective payment rate for inpatient rehabilitation services that would otherwise be made to a rehabilitation innovation center to cover additional costs incurred in: (1) furnishing items and services to individuals conducting research, and (2) providing medical training. 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.
