By misrepresenting hospitals\u2019 financial environment and investments in Colorado\u2019s health care workforce, research and community benefits, HCPF threatens medical care, quality and access for patients in the state.<\/p>\n<p>Hospitals\u2019 financial situation has changed significantly since 2021, and operating margins have dropped considerably because of inflation and wage increases. Making financial or policy decisions based on HCPF\u2019s dated and misleading information could be disastrous for our state and result in reduced access for hospitals, fewer clinical trials, reduced support for education to train future nurses and physicians, and even job losses.<\/p>\n<p>As an example, UCHealth\u2019s current operating margin is nowhere near the figures in the report. UCHealth\u2019s audited financial reports, show:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/emma.msrb.org\/P11610670.pdf\">Fiscal year 2021<\/a>: UCHealth operating margin was 9.9%.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/emma.msrb.org\/P21688093.pdf\">Fiscal year 2022<\/a>: UCHealth operating margin was 5.2%.<\/li>\n<li>Fiscal year 2023 through December: UCHealth operating margin was 4%<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As HCPF has done in past reports, it uses old data, picks date ranges when investments increased, and uses methodologies that do not follow Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). Stock market ups and downs are not the same as income and do not present an accurate picture of financial health. Like any person or institution that has investments in the market, UCHealth has experienced substantial losses this past year. Nonetheless, every dollar that we make stays in Colorado and is reinvested in our patients, communities, and employees.<\/p>\n<p>HCPF also suggests that Colorado\u2019s nonprofit hospitals do not provide enough community benefit investment or support behavioral health. In fact, the\u00a0<a id=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/lownhospitalsindex.org\/hospital\/uchealth-colorado\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lown\u00a0Institute<\/a>\u00a0recently ranked UCHealth among the nation\u2019s best in social responsibility, community benefit, value and patient outcomes. In fiscal year 2022, UCHealth spent $1.1 billion on financial assistance, subsidized care, and other areas to directly benefit patients and communities, including $388 million in uncompensated care. UCHealth is the largest provider of Medicaid services in Colorado, as nearly 25% of Colorado Medicaid patients are cared for at UCHealth. UCHealth has also increased its investment in behavioral health services by $150 million, including adding 49 additional inpatient behavioral health beds, and providing tens of thousands of virtual and in-person behavioral health visits.<\/p>\n<p>Hospitals in Colorado are facing serious financial challenges. The <a id=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/cha.com\/new-data-highlights-financial-difficulties-in-2022-for-colorado-hospitals\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Colorado Hospital Association<\/a> (CHA) reports that CO hospitals\u2019 expenses are 21% higher than pre-pandemic levels, with staffing expenses up more than 26%. Inflation has also increased the costs of the supplies, services and medications hospitals need to care for patients, resulting in significantly lower margins. The information that our policy makers act on must be accurate and current. UCHealth looks forward to working with the state\u2019s legislature and administration to ensure the highest quality care for Coloradans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In its latest report and news release, the Colorado Department of Health Care Policy &amp; Financing (HCPF) shares misleading information about Colorado hospitals.
