Ashley Johnson+FollowCMMI’s Big Health Care Shake-UpCMMI is making some bold moves to fix our health care mess! They’re rolling out a 3-part plan: 1) focus on preventing disease (not just treating it), 2) give patients more power and info, and 3) make health care more competitive and less confusing. With costs out of control and more people living with chronic illness, this could be the shake-up we need. Fingers crossed it actually makes a difference! #HealthcareReform #Medicare #Medicaid #HealthInnovation #PatientPower #Health00Share

jporter+FollowMedicaid Work Rules Could Backfire Big TimeDid you know proposed Medicaid work requirements might actually do more harm than good? A new study says these rules could kick up to 5.2 million adults off health coverage, slash nearly half a million jobs, and suck $59 billion out of state economies in just one year. Instead of helping people find work, it could make things way worse. Experts say investing in job programs works better than tying healthcare to employment. Wild, right? #Medicaid #Healthcare #Policy #Jobs #Economy #Health10173Share
james60+FollowHHS Taps Health Data for Autism BreakthroughsMajor move: Medicare & Medicaid are sharing private health data (securely!) to dig deep into autism research. The goal? Finally get real answers on what causes autism, how treatments work, and the true impact on families. This could mean better care and more support for those affected. The data even includes info from wearables! Privacy is a big deal here, and they’re promising to keep everything locked down. Could this be the game-changer families have been waiting for? #AutismResearch #HealthcareInnovation #Medicare #Medicaid #DataForGood #PrivacyMatters #Health76Share
Douglas Robinson+FollowHow Palliative Care Pays Off (Literally)Turns out, palliative care isn’t just the right thing for patients—it can actually pay for itself! Only a handful of states cover community-based palliative care under Medicaid, but places like YoloCares in California proved that investing in these programs leads to more patients transitioning to hospice (which covers costs). Grants and managed care contracts help too, but it’s all about focusing on quality care first. More states are jumping on board, so watch this space! #PalliativeCare #Medicaid #HealthcareInnovation #HospiceCare #PatientFirst #Health10Share
Terry Brown+FollowHow Case Managers Are Saving HealthcareTurns out, building real relationships with patients can seriously cut healthcare costs and boost quality of life—especially for those with complex needs. This study followed Medicaid patients for a year and found that when case managers actually get to know their clients (not just check boxes), it saved $8,500+ per person and made people feel way better. The secret? Ditching quick fixes for long-term, trust-based support. Could this be the game-changer healthcare needs? #HealthcareInnovation #Medicaid #CaseManagement #PatientCare #HealthEquity #Health00Share
Beth Burton+FollowTelepsychiatry’s Secret Win for MedicaidDid you know that outpatient telepsychiatry is seriously cutting down on hospital stays for Medicaid patients—without making care more expensive? A new study found that folks using telepsychiatry had way fewer hospitalizations and ER visits, but the overall costs stayed about the same as usual care. The catch? Medicaid patients still struggle to get timely mental health help because of low reimbursement rates. But this could be a game-changer for value-based care if more payers jump on board! #Telepsychiatry #MentalHealth #Medicaid #HealthcareInnovation #ValueBasedCare #Health110Share
Andrew Hutchinson+FollowNurses on the No-Hire List? Big Fines!Two healthcare companies just got slapped with major fines for hiring nurses who were on the federal exclusion list—aka the healthcare industry’s no-hire list. These nurses weren’t supposed to work with Medicare or Medicaid patients, but somehow slipped through the cracks. The result? One company paid over $41k, the other nearly $78k, and both had to fire the nurses. Just a reminder: skipping those background checks can seriously cost you! #HealthcareCompliance #NurseLife #WorkplaceDrama #OIG #Medicare #Medicaid #Health402Share
Douglas Robinson+FollowMedicaid Cuts Could Hit Harder Than You ThinkCongress is eyeing major Medicaid cuts, and it’s not just numbers on a page—real families and doctors could feel the pain. Black and Latino doctors, who already see more Medicaid patients, are sounding the alarm: these cuts could mean less care for communities that need it most. Fewer clinics, longer ER waits, and more uninsured kids? That’s the ripple effect. It’s not just health insurance—it’s a lifeline for millions, especially people of color. Wild how one policy move can shake up so many lives! #Medicaid #Healthcare #HealthEquity #CommunityCare #PolicyImpact #Health173Share
Douglas Robinson+FollowMedicaid Cuts Could Hit Harder Than You ThinkCongress is talking about major Medicaid cuts, and it’s not just numbers on a spreadsheet—real families and their doctors could feel the pain. Black and Latino doctors are way more likely to treat Medicaid patients, so their clinics (and the communities they serve) would get hit the hardest. Think: less access to care, more ER visits, and bigger health gaps. One doctor said losing Medicaid is like losing a lifeline for entire families. The ripple effect? It could impact everyone, even those with private insurance. #Medicaid #HealthcareAccess #HealthEquity #CommunityCare #PolicyMatters #Health172Share
