The rule, posted in the Jan. 29 Federal Register, would allow federal hospital mortgage insurance to cover refinancing of existing hospital debt without requiring a portion of the proceeds to fund new construction.

However, HFMA is concerned that the time period used to calculate two of the proposed measures would limit credit access for financially sound providers.
