Health care reform legislation that recently cleared the House Ways and Means health subcommittee includes two measures that have been sought by hospitals--the restoration of separate payments to physicians for interpretation of electrocardiograms and the reauthorization of the federal grant program aimed at developing networks of primary-and acute-care hospitals in rural areas, known as the "each/peach" program.
