The hospital, which applied for critical access status last year, has operated as a critical access facility since Jan. 1 and began receiving CAH payments March 18, according to the report. 

St. Anthony’s Vice President and CFO Eric Salmonson said the designation helped set a path of financial stability and allows the hospital to remain an independent provider, according to the report. 

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
