How the Rural Health Transformation Program Works

Funds flow to states. After CMS approves a state’s plan, that state opens sub-awards for rural hospitals and providers. Imaging infrastructure (MRI, PET/CT, CT) can be eligible when aligned to approved objectives (access, quality, sustainability).

State Application

Includes goals, solvency strategies, stakeholder input, allowed uses, measurement plan, and Governor designation.

Hospital Role

Engage early: supply data on volumes, gaps, workforce; participate in stakeholder processes and public comments.

Awards & Oversight

After approval, states announce sub-awards. Expect reporting, compliance, and outcomes tracking.

Key Dates

Applications due: Nov 5, 2025

Awards by: Dec 31, 2025
