Standing still isn’t an option when the most vulnerable are at risk.

At Resource Corporation of America (RCA), we’ve spent decades helping patients navigate complex systems to access the care and coverage they need. Today, that mission is more urgent than ever. New proposals in the House and Senate aim to roll back Medicaid protections—provisions specifically designed to make life easier for low-income seniors and people with disabilities. If passed, these changes would strip away coverage from over 1.3 million Medicare beneficiaries, pushing many into financial hardship.

These aren’t just numbers. They’re real people—our parents, grandparents, neighbors, many living on fixed incomes with little to no safety net. They’re also the patients our hospital partners work hard to support every day. We can’t look the other way while their access to care is quietly dismantled.

So, what are we doing about it?

At RCA, we’re not waiting for the dust to settle in Washington. We’re taking action, thoughtfully, strategically, and with compassion.

 

  1. Proactively Supporting Our Partners

We’re working directly with hospitals to identify at-risk patients, especially those affected by delays in the Medicare Savings Program (MSP) and Medicaid Streamlining Rule. These rules were meant to reduce paperwork and simplify enrollment. With those changes on hold, millions could lose help with premiums, transportation, long-term care, and more.

Our job is to step in and ensure no one falls through the cracks.

  1. Combining Technology and Advocacy

The red tape is thickening again, and we’re ready. RCA continues to refine its systems to match the spirit of the original rules, even if they’re delayed.

That means:

  • AI-driven outreach to connect with hard-to-reach patients
  • Digital tools to reduce paperwork headaches
  • Multilingual support to ensure understanding and trust
  • Patient advocates who walk individuals through the process, every step of the way

We’re not just checking boxes; we’re building lifelines.

  1. Focusing on Those at Highest Risk

Over 1 million low-income Medicare beneficiaries lost access to prescription drug subsidies (LIS) after pandemic-era Medicaid protections ended. RCA prioritizes recertification and enrollment for those in danger of losing support. Each patient we help regain coverage isn’t just a success story; it’s a hospital bill paid, a medication accessed, a life stabilized.

It Takes All of Us: Working Together for Impact

We know we can’t do this alone. That’s why we’re partnering across the board:

  • With hospitals, we’re more than a vendor; we’re an extension of your team. Together, we fight bad debt, preserve 340B eligibility, and keep patients connected to care.
  • With state agencies, we’re staying in step with shifting requirements and advocating for practical, patient-centered solutions.
  • We listen, guide, and act with patients, whether it’s a Medicaid application, a benefits appeal, or simply making sense of it all.

The Bottom Line

These proposed Medicaid changes threaten to reverse years of progress. But RCA isn’t waiting to see how things play out. We know what’s at stake and we’re ready to act.

Because at the end of the day, this work isn’t just about compliance, reimbursements, or policy.

It’s about people.

And that’s who we show up for…every day for the last 31 years and counting.
