I assume the update for demographics for 2020/2025 will come out in a month or so as usual.
My question is: is it "in the can" already? Or will it contain--especially for 2025--updates from the current COVID-19 economic implosion?
We are a healthcare company, so we are looking for any type of resource that might estimate how layoffs will affect our payor mix: e.g. will there be more Medicaid coming in and fewer insured patients coming in for the next year? 2 years?
AZ is tough--it was doing great economically and population growth, but COVID-19 blew up tourism, and people can't move here if they can't sell their houses back in the cold, snowy midwest.
Any guidance on how to forecast effects? Or with good luck, the implosion will only last one season, and things will get back to normal by 2021 demographics?
Anybody have any thoughts on this matter? Thank You.
