The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBB) has officially arrived, setting the stage for major shifts in healthcare coverage across the U.S. As insurance rolls shrink, hospitals are bracing for more uninsured patients and a spike in bad debt.
Our new piece, Fix Upstream Gaps Before Bad Debt Strikes, outlines what healthcare leaders can do today to prepare for the impact of the OBBB. It starts with a comprehensive evaluation of the revenue cycle to identify inefficiencies that may lead to future bad debt.
Hospitals that prepare and partner wisely have the best chance to protect their margins, preserve patient trust, and maintain a consistent cash flow as the effects of the OBBB unfold.
