Over 90% of Nebraska hospitals find it more difficult to get post-acute care approved for Medicare Advantage patients than Traditional Medicare patients.
According to a 2024 U.S. Senate investigative report, Medicare Advantage plans deny post-acute care at significantly higher rates than Traditional Medicare. These denials, often using AI-driven prior authorization, lead to delayed or premature discharge from hospitals and a reduced ability for patients to access necessary skilled nursing, rehabilitation, or home health services, resulting in poorer health outcomes and increased costs for seniors.
