The skilled nursing sector is under increasing pain due to the growth of Medicare Advantage, with the industry losing hundreds of millions of dollars while operators also are contending with a host of operational burdens.
This was a message delivered repeatedly Wednesday at the “Roaring Reimbursement” conference held by Zimmet Healthcare Services Group (ZHSG) in Connecticut.
“It’s painful — it’s getting worse,” ZHSG President Marc Zimmet said during the event’s keynote, referring to Medicare Advantage.
