SUMMARY:LEG01: One Big Beautiful Bill: Impact on Medicaid Programs and DME Suppliers
DESCRIPTION:On July 4\, 2025\, President Trump signed into law the One Big Beautiful Bill (“Bill”). The 870-page bill covers almost ever component of the economy and extends many of the taxpayer-friendly provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act \, passed in President Trump’s first term. The Bill significantly alters Medicaid by\, among other provisions\, reducing federal Medicaid spending by an estimated $911 billion over 10 years\, largely through coverage losses. A result is a projected additional 11.8 million Americans becoming uninsured by 2034. The Bill includes provisions that will likely make it more difficult to enroll and maintain Medicaid coverage. Additionally\, the Bill makes it more difficult for states to raise Medicaid funds through provider taxes. The anticipated cuts in Medicaid funding will (i) directly affect DME suppliers that serve Medicaid patients and (ii) indirectly affect all DME suppliers. This program will (i) summarize the elements of the Bill and (ii) then pivot to discussing the provisions of the Bill that impact state Medicaid programs. The program will focus on how the Bill will (i) directly impact DME suppliers that serve Medicaid patients and (ii) indirectly impact all DME suppliers. Lastly\, the program will discuss steps that DME suppliers can take to operate within the confines of the Bill.\nLearning Objectives:\n\nUnderstand the provisions of the Bill that apply to state Medicaid programs.\nRecognize how the Bill will impact state Medicaid programs and DME suppliers.\nLearn the steps DME suppliers can take to prepare for cuts in Medicaid spending.
