How Hospitals Can Unlock New Revenue Streams Amid OBBBA’s Cuts

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.
