Medicare and medicaid reimbursement programs have reduced payout levels by over 11%. What does this mean to you, your family, your facility.
The obvious impact of this cut means that funding will be limited and it will be necessary to cut nursing home care and administration costs to cover the gap. Since food and supplies are necessary, these cuts will likely come in the form of care quality and staffing. Already overworked medical care professionals will be further affected by this change.
Medical supplies must now adapt to the environment by offering competitive pricing allowing homes to still procure the supplies and equipment they need. As this trend increases, affected by a struggling economic support systems, it is likely that there will be an increased push toward private and home health nursing care.
