On July 4, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) was signed into law, ushering in Medicaid reforms that present health systems with looming financial challenges. A new analysis from Kodiak Solutions projects hospitals could lose up to $25 billion annually in net revenue. For every hospital already operating on razor-thin margins, this is a significant challenge. But in times of disruption, opportunities emerge.
The Financial Reality Hospitals Face
Kodiak Solutions’ analysis modeled the impact of Medicaid disenrollment scenarios:
- 5% disenrollment → $1M+ in annual net revenue losses
- 10% disenrollment → $2M+ drop
- 15% disenrollment → $3M+ drop
- 20% disenrollment → nearly $4M drop
Traditional levers — cost reduction, payer negotiations, or Medicaid enrollment outreach — won’t be enough to fill the widening gap. Hospitals need to think differently.
