What the 'One Big Beautiful Bill' Means for Healthcare Providers

The Senate passed the One Big Beautiful Bill on July 1 and is advancing in the House ahead of a July 4 deadline. While still awaiting House approval, it could enact sweeping changes affecting Medicaid, compliance, documentation, and funding priorities. Here's an overview on what this bill means for healthcare proviers and organizations, and what they should expect in the future.
