- Uncertain Medicaid reimbursement. The Supreme Court's ruling that states would not be required to expand their Medicaid programs could result in higher than expected demand for uncompensated care

- Experimental payment models. Both CMS and private payors have begun to introduce new payment models that may shift more financial risk to providers
