        <text><![CDATA[ <p>This bill amends the Pathway for SGR Reform Act of 2013 to specify that&nbsp;certain provisions of&nbsp;current law&nbsp;regarding&nbsp;the calculation of hospital length of stay apply to certain long-term care hospitals (LTCHs) that are permitted, under Medicare, to establish new LTCHs or increase LTCH beds. Specifically, with respect to such LTCHs, two types of patients shall be&nbsp;excluded from the&nbsp;calculation of&nbsp;LTCH length of stay under Medicare: (1) those for whom payment is made under a Medicare Advantage plan, and (2) those for whom payment is made at the site-neutral payment rate.</p>]]></text>
