The health system, which operates Laconia, N.H.-based Lakes Region General Hospital, Franklin (N.H.) Regional Hospital and 12 primary care offices, said it has been losing $4 million on Medicaid patients per year, and the state’s newest budget that slashes Medicaid reimbursements will add millions more in losses, according to the report.
Emergency services will still be provided to Medicaid patients at both of LRGH’s hospitals, and patients enrolled in the New Hampshire Healthy Kids program and those who receive pre-natal care at Caring for Women can still see their providers.
LRGH is one of the 10 hospitals suing New Hampshire to block the state from implementing the Medicaid provisions of the new budget.
