4 FEDERAL TAX EXEMPTION REQUIREMENTS Additional requirements Complete ban on private inurement Prevents charity from distributing any of its assets as profits to shareholders or individual Compliance with ban on private benefit Must serve a public rather than private interest Must benefit the broader public rather than particular individual or narrowly defined small group
5 FEDERAL TAX EXEMPTION REQUIREMENTS Additional Requirements cont'd. Limits on political activities Mandate compliance with "public policy" doctrine Charities must not act contrary to public policy Charity activities may be overly commercial
6 FEDERAL TAX EXEMPTION REQUIREMENTS Roots of charity care can be traced to the time of antiquity. Code of Hammurabi decreed that the community must take care of the poor, widows and children. Alms houses provided care for the poor. Hospitals were originally religious charities that provided medical treatment and related care for those unable to afford private doctors. The middle and upper class treated at home. This changed as hospitals discovered that they could rely on paying patients.
7 FEDERAL TAX EXEMPTION REQUIREMENTS Federal government allowed certain charitable organizations to become exempt from income tax Hospitals are designated charitable organizations Exemption from income tax Allows deductions for charitable donations
8 FEDERAL TAX EXEMPTION REQUIREMENTS IRS Rev. Rul Hospitals could be exempt from tax as long as they operated to extent financial ability for those not able to pay for services rendered and not exclusively for those who are able and expected to pay Medicaid and Medicare Thought - did this make the then existing tax law obsolete?
9 FEDERAL TAX EXEMPTION REQUIREMENTS IRS Rev. Rul Hospitals can qualify for tax exempt status if they engaged in the "promotion of health" in the community they served. Compliance with the "community benefit standard."
10 COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD Hospitals satisfy the "community benefit standard" if they - Operate an emergency room without regard to ability to pay Maintain a governance board of civic leaders Maintain an open medical staff Participate in Medicare and Medicaid Use surplus funds to improve quality of patient care, expand facilities, and advance education and training programs.

13 CATHOLIC HEALTH ASSOCIATION GUIDANCE A program or activity should not be reported as community benefit if it is: Provided for marketing purposes Restricted to hospital employees and physicians Required of all health care providers by rules or standards Unrelated to health or the mission of the organization
14 CATHOLIC HEALTH ASSOCIATION GUIDANCE What can be included- Community health improvement services Health professional education Research Charity care/unpaid cost of Medicaid Community building (housing/economic dev.) Financial contributions to community
15 FEDERAL TAX EXEMPTION REQUIREMENTS 1983 IRS clarified the ruling stating that hospitals do not have to provide emergency care to qualify for tax-exempt status IRS (internal document) indicated that absent an emergency room, a hospital policy regarding charity care is a "highly significant factor" in determining whether the hospital meets the community benefits standard
16 SCHEDULE H Schedule H is a schedule that all taxexempt hospitals must file as part of their annual obligations to file tax returns. It asks hospitals for detailed information regarding the financial assistance and other community benefits they provide - Community building activities Bad debt and collection policies Individual facilities
17 AFFORDABLE CARE ACT REQUIREMENTS Section 501(r) requirements applicable to taxexempt hospitals include- Conducting Community Health Needs Assistance (CHNA) every three years Provide written financial assistance and emergency care policies Establish limitations on charges for emergency or medically necessary care Set policies and procedures related to billing and collections actions

19 PENALTIES FOR NON-COMPLIANCE $50,000 Excise Tax Loss of tax-exempt status Implications for those that issue tax-exempt bonds
20 CHNA IRS REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS Process In defining the community to assess, consider geographic area served, and the hospital s target populations and principal functions Community may include populations in geographic areas outside of those in which patient populations reside Community may not be defined in a way that excludes certain populations served by the hospital (for example, low income persons, and minority groups) CHNA must take into account input from a variety of stakeholders like public health, members of medically underserved populations or their representatives and may include input on financial and other barriers to care
21 CHNA Post Assessment Section 501(r) requires that specific information must be included in the CHNA report Description of community served How community was determined Process and methods used to conduct the assessment Publicizing the CHNA Hospital s website Hospital s parent website Inform that report is available
22 IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY Implementation strategy must address the following: How the hospital plans to meet the significant need The actions the hospital intends to take to address the significant health and the anticipated impact of those actions A plan to evaluate the impact Programs and resources the hospital plans to commit to address the health need Planned collaboration between hospital and other organizations or facilities
