rural health leaders

Rural health leaders and advocates in Indiana say the Medicaid reimbursement rate is way behind where it needs to be. Addressing those rates is among the Indiana Rural Health Association’s advocacy priorities presented ahead of the 2025 legislative session.

The growth of Medicare Advantage plans can create unique problems for rural hospitals and clinics, such as being excluded from provider networks. Rural health leaders are concerned about the potential growth of these plans under the incoming Trump administration.
