“Managed Care Payments Continue to Squeeze Skilled Nursing Providers,” by John Yedinak, Skilled Nursing News

Quote: “As the shift to value-based payments and managed care grows, data shows that skilled nursing providers are seeing revenue per patient under these agreements slide as the patient mix increases. … While the rates providers are receiving from these types of contracts varies, most expect to take a 25% hit from what they would have received under traditional fee-for-service models, according to Marc Zimmet, managing director at Greystone and Zimmet Healthcare.”

LTC Comment (from Stephen A. Moses, President, Center for Long-Term Care Reform):

One more way for Medicaid to squeeze nursing homes. This will end, but not well.
