title: Projecting the financial impact of healthcare reform.
abstract: The Affordable Care Act is expected to have a sweeping impact on revenue intake at healthcare organizations over the next several years. Self-pay cases will dwindle as more uninsured people purchase coverage through the exchanges, and Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial payments will be affected in different ways. Anticipating the long-term payment trends is vital to hospitals' efforts to mitigate the likely changes.
