American Hospital Association works to stop "community benefit review" of tax exemption in health care legislation
Thu, 03/11/2010 - 21:27 — Silber
The American Hospital Association has particularly objected to two requirements in the Senate version of the health care bill and has urged Congress to drop the pair of requirements even if it retained the others. One that is of special interest to nonprofit law more generally would require the Treasury Department to review information about each tax-exempt hospital’s “community benefit” activities (such as offering full-time emergency care to all patients regardless of ability to pay) every three years to determine whether the institution remains eligible for a tax exemption.
