$491B Medicare cuts are coming.... Who gets hit first?

$491B Medicare cuts are coming… Who gets hit first? Doctors, Hospitals, or Patients? 👀

The CBO projects $491 billion in Medicare cuts between 2027–2034, starting with $45B in 2026 🚨

That’s not just numbers on a page - it’s a real threat to how doctors, hospitals, and patients experience care.

👉 Doctors = More admin, tighter budgets, less time for patients 👉 Hospitals = Rural + safety-net systems face a higher risk 👉 Patients = More delays, readmissions, and disrupted care

But here’s the good news: prevention works.

At Vironix Health, half of high-risk patients avoided hospital stays completely, with some staying out for 6–8+ months.

Studies show RPM lowers hospitalizations by >50% and cuts mortality in hypertensive Medicare patients by 34%.

This, in combination with our recent partnership with Exela Technologies, helps clinics simplify billing + revenue cycles, giving providers more financial breathing room.

💡 What this means: 👉 Doctors keep more time for patients 👉 Hospitals keep capacity + margins 👉 Patients keep healthier, with fewer admissions and less financial strain

With Medicare under pressure, proactive care + smart operations aren’t optional - they’re necessary survival tools.

How is your team preparing? Are you leaning into preventive care, workflow optimization, or policy advocacy?
