Nebraska Hospital Association

The Nebraska Hospital Association is a voluntary membership health care trade association.

To accomplish its mission and serve its members, the NHA has developed a strategic framework that consists of four pillars: advocacy and policy, financial stewardship, quality and safety, and strategic partnerships. To uphold these pillars, the NHA has laid a secure foundation for achieving results comprised of knowledge, communication and member engagement, through which the NHA will provide our members with solid commitment, firm values and assured leadership. The culmination of the efforts of the NHA is to assist our members to continue to be viable hospitals that provide quality care to Nebraska’s patients and communities.

Senator Brad von Gillern and Senator Beau Ballard joined NHA President & CEO Jeremy Nordquist and hospital leaders this morning to discuss issues impacting health care access for Nebraskans, including HR 1 implementation and Medicaid retroactive eligibility. If retroactive eligibility is eliminated, a patient who is eligible for Medicaid but unable to apply the moment they fall ill could be left with crushing debt, while our hospitals face a spike in uncompensated care.

The Legislature has one more week of committee hearings before running into all day debate next week. Visit the NHA Action Center to make sure your voice is heard on these issues and more: https://loom.ly/7xpBccw

LB 1221 supports Nebraska’s early implementation of the Medicaid community engagement requirements by providing clear definitions for key temporary hardship exceptions.

As a community health navigator at Community Medical Center Falls City NE, Natalia Boelhower works with Medicaid patients undergoing treatment for serious illness every day. She understands these definitions support rural health by recognizing the reality of patients who must travel long distances for specialized care and protect vulnerable Nebraskans by ensuring a temporary hardship doesn't become a permanent loss of coverage.

Jim Ulrich, CEO of York General, recently testified on the ripple effect of implementing high Medicaid co-pays.

For patients, even small fees lead to skipped appointments. Preventable issues quickly turn into medical emergencies.

For hospitals, it’s a hidden reimbursement cut. Between the difficulty of collection and the surge in high cost ER visits, uncompensated care only rises.

We can't improve health outcomes by creating barriers to primary care.

The Rural Health Professional Incentive Program offers loan repayment assistance for primary care, mental, dental, and other health professionals who agree to practice in a state-designated shortage area in rural Nebraska.

Justin Wolf, CEO of Memorial Community Health, told the Appropriations Committee that proposed funding cuts will affect rural workforce recruitment and retention efforts relied upon by rural hospitals.

Contact your state senator and urge them to protect this effective and vital program that helps ensure a healthier future for all Nebraskans: https://loom.ly/15CDxyY

It was a busy day at the state capitol for Nebraska hospital leaders. Megan Connelly with Children's Nebraska, Michael Dewerff from Bryan Health, and Ivan Mitchell with Great Plains Health testified before the Appropriations Committee regarding the impact of eliminating Medicaid retroactive eligibility.

Without retroactive coverage, a patient who is eligible for Medicaid but unable to apply the moment they fall ill could be left with crushing debt, and our hospitals will face a massive spike in uncompensated care.

Send a message to your State Senator and urge them to reject a zero-day retroactive period: https://loom.ly/bqR6sCw
