OBBBA and Medicaid: What Urban Safety Net Hospitals Need to Know Now
The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), enacted July 4 2025, introduces stricter Medicaid eligibility rules, including work requirements and six‑month redeterminations, that will take effect between late 2026 and early 2027. Expanded cost‑sharing and tighter state financing limits are expected to shrink Medicaid enrollment and reduce reimbursements for urban safety‑net hospitals (USNHs). To mitigate revenue loss, Congress allocated a $50 billion fund for qualifying rural and remote facilities, leaving most metro USNHs ineligible. Hospital leaders are urged to adopt AI‑driven admin tools, staff training, and value‑based payment models now to brace for higher uncompensated care in 2027‑2028.
