According to a recent S&P Global Ratings analysis, Medicare Advantage (MA) plans, which have seen rising popularity among seniors, may lead to lower credit ratings for hospitals due to delayed payments and claims denials. While MA plans are marketed as efficient options compared to traditional Medicare, they result in lower margins for healthcare providers, and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services are attempting to cut reimbursements, which could further strain health systems financially.
