The Effects of More Than 1 Million Losing Medicaid Coverage

June 30, 2023

The Effects of More Than 1 Million Losing Medicaid Coverage

About 1.5 million Americans have lost Medicaid coverage in more than two dozen states, and hospitals are beginning to see the financial effects of caring for more uninsured patients. Additionally, site-neutral payment has forced physicians, patient advocates, and hospitals and health systems to take sides in the debate over Medicare reimbursement rates based on location of care, and a new report shows that approximately a quarter of residents in 18 states struggle with medical debt.

Register for the NRHA Rural Health Clinic and Critical Access Hospital Conferences, September 26-29, to explore how we can ensure we can care for patients and the bottom line with experts at NRHA’s Rural Health Clinic and Critical Access Hospital Conferences Sept. 26-29 in Kansas City.

Proposed Bill Aims to Reduce Burdens on Rural Health Clinics

June 16, 2023

Proposed Bill Aims to Reduce Burdens on Rural Health Clinics

NRHA has expressed support for the bipartisan Rural Health Clinic Burden Reduction Act, which aims to reform provisions related to RHCs under Medicare.

NRHA also supports the Protecting Rural Telehealth Access Act, which would permanently expand services adopted during the pandemic. NRHA notes that 77 percent of rural counties have a primary care shortage. Additionally, as federal policymakers step up oversight of hospital mergers, more states are taking steps to encourage consolidation.

NRHA has curated advocacy campaigns so you can act today on several issues including urging Congress to reduce burden in rural health clinics. We’ll share RHC-specific strategies to better utilize telehealth and help clinics flourish at NRHA’s 21st Rural Health Clinic Conference Sept. 26-27 in Kansas City.
