Medicare Advantage and rural hospital profitability
PURPOSE: This study compares 2018-2023 Medicare Advantage (MA) days as a percentage of total Medicare days in rural and urban hospitals, describes 2022-2023 operating profitability of rural and urban hospitals by quartiles of MA days as a percentage of total Medicare days, and explores hospital characteristics that may be important for understanding the relationship between MA and profitability of rural hospitals. METHODS: Financial and hospital …
The effects of the Covid‐19 pandemic on urban and rural hospital profitability
INTRODUCTION: There are long-standing differences in profitability between rural and urban hospitals. Prior to the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency (PHE), rural hospital profitability was decreasing, while urban hospital profitability was increasing. During the PHE, the Federal Government provided billions of dollars of support to hospitals. Given the prepandemic differences in trends in profitability, it is likely that the PHE funding had differ…
Non‐operating revenue is an important source of funding for rural hospitals, especially those that are government‐owned
PURPOSE: Non-operating revenue (NOR), derived from investments, contributions, government appropriations, and medical space rentals, can contribute to financial stability of hospitals by offsetting operating losses and improving profitability. NOR might benefit rural hospitals that often face intense financial pressures. However, little is known about how much rural hospitals rely on NOR and if certain organizational characteristics are associate…

For Rural Hospitals That Merged, Inpatient Charges Decreased and Outpatient Charges Increased
PURPOSE: To determine whether inpatient and outpatient charges changed at rural hospitals after a merger. METHODS: Hospital mergers were derived from proprietary Irving Levin Associates data through manual review and validation. Hospital-level characteristics were derived from HCRIS, CMS Impact File Hospital Inpatient Prospective Payment System, Hospital MSA file, AHRF, and US Census data. A difference-in-differences approach was used to determin…
Rural Hospital Mergers Increased Between 2005 and 2016—What Did Those Hospitals Look Like
The objective of this study is to determine whether key hospital-level financial and market characteristics are associated with whether rural hospitals merge. Hospital merger status was derived from proprietary Irving Levin Associates data for 2005 through 2016 and hospital-level characteristics from HCRIS, CMS Impact File Hospital Inpatient Prospective Payment System, Hospital MSA file, AHRF, and U.S. Census data for 2004 through 2016. A discret…
Measuring Mortality Performance
BACKGROUND: Safety-net hospitals (SNHs) tend to be weaker in financial condition than other hospitals, leading to a concern about how the quality of care at these hospitals would compare to other hospitals. OBJECTIVES: To assess mortality performance of SNHs using all-payer databases and measures for a broad range of conditions and procedures. DESIGN: Longitudinal analysis of hospitals from 2006 through 2011 with data from the Healthcare Cost and…
The Occupational Mix Adjustment to the Medicare Hospital Wage Index
Context: Rural hospitals are heavily dependent on Medicare for their long‐term financial solvency. A recent change to Medicare prospective payment system reimbursement—the occupational mix adjustment (OMA) to the wage index—has attracted a great deal of attention in rural policy circles. Purpose: This paper explores variation in the OMA across and within urban and rural markets. Reasons why the effect of the OMA has been less than some rural advo…
