Roughly $415 billion of those cuts will come from Medicare payment reductions to providers: $260 billion from hospitals, $66 billion from home health agencies and billions more from skilled nursing facilities, hospices, physicians and other providers. The remainder of the savings will come from payment reductions within the Medicare Advantage program, cuts to Medicare/Medicaid disproportionate share hospital payments and other reductions to Medicare spending.
