Medicaid, a lifeline for millions of Americans, is facing significant funding threats as Congress considers dramatic spending cuts. Fierce Healthcare recently published insights from 23 healthcare leaders about the potential impact—and we are proud that MedZed’s CEO and Co-Founder, Scott Schnell, was invited to contribute to this important conversation.
Scott emphasized a growing concern:
"Our community health navigators spend disproportionate amounts of time and effort to help members understand and access their benefits; time that could be spent on service delivery.”
At MedZed, we see firsthand how administrative hurdles can limit the impact of vital healthcare services. Simplifying access and removing barriers is not just about improving efficiency—it's about ensuring that Medicaid members receive the care and support they deserve, when they need it most.
As policymakers deliberate Medicaid’s future, voices like Scott’s highlight the urgent need for thoughtful reform. Supporting digital infrastructure, simplifying operations, and streamlining member support are crucial steps forward.
We encourage everyone invested in the future of healthcare to read the full article from Fierce Healthcare and stay informed on these critical developments.
