520    This report analyzes special payments that Medicare has 
       been making to rural providers. These special payments are
       intended to support the rural health care infrastructure 
       to help ensure access to care for Medicare beneficiaries. 
       The research provides a comprehensive overview of these 
       payments, including documentation of the supply of 
       providers, trends in payments, and Medicare costs per 
       beneficiary. Four types of special payments were examined:
       (1) payments to sole community hospitals, Medicare-
       dependent hospitals, and rural referral centers; (2) 
       reimbursements to rural health clinics and federally 
       qualified health centers; (3) bonus payments to physicians
       in rural health professional shortage areas; and (4) 
       capitation payments in rural counties.
