White paper addresses healthcare facility cost-shifting

Three factors are impacting current state of healthcare services delivery


In June 2015, the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission issued a report to Congress analyzing the current state of healthcare services delivery and identified three factors of great importance to healthcare providers:

• A forecasted rapid increase from 2016 onwards in the percentage of the total population of Medicare-Eligible aged 65+.

• A significant decline starting in 2009 in the number of workers per Medicare Part A (hospitals) beneficiaries.

• The aging of the Medicare-eligible population, after years of decline, to begin in about 2020.

A new white paper addresses the implications of these three trends for healthcare providers regarding utilization and cost-shifting.
