1,129 hospitals reporting losses on patient services, state by state

Rural hospitals across the U.S. are taking losses on patient services, meaning insurers aren't paying enough to cover the cost of care delivery, according to a report from the Center for Healthcare Quality & Payment Reform.

Losses on patient services have forced some hospitals to close service lines and reduce access to care in already underserved communities. There are more than 600 hospitals at risk of closure across the U.S. as well due to financial constraints and inflation.

The Center for Healthcare Quality & Payment Reform compiled data on hospitals that lost money delivering patient services over a multiyear period, excluding the first year of the pandemic. Texas reported the most hospitals with losses on services at 105, while Nevada has the highest percentage of hospitals reporting losses on services at 85 percent.
