Hospitals Could Lose Millions of Dollars for Low-Income Care
“A West Virginia Hospital Association official says the state’s hospitals stand to lose up to $15 million toward treating low-income patients if federal cuts to a Medicaid program remain in place. The Herald-Dispatch reports the first level of cuts is estimated at $12 million to $15 million. Joe Letnaunchyn, president and CEO of the West Virginia Hospital Association, says the reduction would impact all West Virginia hospitals, not just those in rural areas.”
