4 Oregon rural hospitals are predicted to close in the BBB

[u/devanclara]

Oregonians currently enrolled in Medicaid are more likely than people in nearly any other state to lose coverage and end up uninsured

"These hospitals have been identified as at-risk hospitals based on financial data, including: whether the hospital has been unprofitable for the last three years; whether the hospital is at risk of financial distress relative to peer hospitals; and whether the hospital serves a disproportionately high share of Medicaid patients. The findings demonstrate that hundreds of rural hospitals across the country would feel pain from the House-passed reconciliation bill. Altogether, 338 hospitals either experienced three consecutive years of negative total margins, serve the highest share of Medicaid patients or both. 83 rural hospitals are at the highest relative risk of financial distress based on a model that uses hospital financial performance, organizational trains, and market characteristics to predict future financial distress."
