Rate cuts are becoming a reality for organizations across the country. Colorado cut most Medicaid provider rates 2% on July 1, 2026, three months after repricing fee-for-service to 85% of the 2025 Medicare rate.
For provider organizations, compounding rate pressure changes which service lines they can afford to sustain. This session focuses on three critical assessments: financial exposure, operating capacity, and when to maintain or pivot unprofitable mission driven service lines.
Attendees will leave with:
- Insights into managing service lines of varying financial performance
- The cost thresholds that decide whether a program stays open
- Language for telling a board which programs are being protected and why
