UC Davis Medical Center(s) are a not-for-profit health system in northern and central
California. They are positioned to serve 33 counties and approximately 6 million people (UC
Davis Health, 2023). UC Davis is recognized as Sacramento California’s number 1 hospital,
seeing an average of 200 patients per day, and approximately 30,000 admissions per year (UC
Davis health, 2023).
UC Davis Medical Centers accept Medicaid, a federal and state funded healthcare
program. Statewide Medicaid makes up 24.8% of inpatient services and 25.2% of outpatient
services at UC Davis, between July 1st, 2020, and June 30th, 2021 (HCAI, 2023). Beneficiaries of
this program must be United States citizens, or qualified non-citizens, and their financial
situation must be considered low income as detailed per the state’s guidelines. For example, a
family of 4 must make less than $39,900 annually (benefits.gov, 2023). The Medicaid program is
humanitarian in structure; however, it presents serious financial implications for facilities who
accept this coverage.
