U.S. hospitals could lose tens of billions of dollars in revenue this year even under the most optimistic scenario, according to a new report prepared on behalf of the American Hospital Association.

“In 2020, COVID-19 undermined our nation’s health and severely tested our hospitals and health systems,” according to researchers for Kaufman Hall, which prepared the report. “At the same time that a series of spikes in COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations put intense pressure on hospital staff and resources, steep declines in non-COVID-19 volume led to sharply lower revenues.”
