Medicare cuts risk limiting elderly patient access, Texas doctors warn
Ventolini cautions the fiscal cliff will force doctors to limit Medicare patients and push toward private pay. He warns a public funding shortfall may reduce physician training and deepen a 90,000 figure for Texas. Measured impact for UUHSC includes 1115 Waiver funds cushioning residency and rural diabetes programs. At Medical Center Hospital, labs may face Medicare-driven funding drops, though leadership expects growth in lab business and continued patient care.
