Geisinger Chief Revenue Officer Robert Dewar told The Daily Item that as Medicaid redeterminations are conducted, people will not know what they need to do, resulting in a significant number of people losing coverage.
An estimated 617,000 Medicaid members in Pennsylvania are at risk of losing coverage, according to the April 22 report. Geisinger is based in Danville, Pa.
"I feel like everybody loses in this," Mr. Dewar told the outlet. "Patients lose; a significant number of patients. Hospitals lose. I don’t think it’s going to help our taxes. It’s not going to lead to less cost for individual taxpayers. It’s just not good policy. I just don’t see any winners in this."
