As the healthcare industry prepares for the implementation of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), it’s clear that readiness is not one-size-fits-all. Hospitals are leading the way, but most providers will need focused updates to their Medicaid/Medicare processes to ensure compliance and protect revenue. In October 2025, Experian Health surveyed 200 healthcare decision-makers to get a better understanding of their readiness levels, where they’ll be impacted and what they’re focusing on, following implementation of the OBBBA. Here are the results: To prepare for incoming changes from the OBBBA, revenue cycle leaders will need to accelerate their adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) and automated solutions. AI-powered tools, like Patient Access Curator, can help providers streamline insurance eligibility checks and improve claims accuracy. Other tools, like Patient Financial Clearance, can help providers support their patients and minimize risks from uncompensated care. Is your revenue cycle team ready for OBBBA?
