Numerous nonprofit hospitals in multiple states have been hit with class-action lawsuits challenging their tax-exempt status as charity institutions, and more are expected to follow. They are charged with allegedly overcharging uninsured patients and subjecting some of them to abusive bill collection practices. If your facility is like many nonprofit hospitals, it’s likely hanging by a financial thread. Do you know what actions you can take to protect your hospital’s tax-exempt status? And do your staff know about the many alternative services available to help the needy?
Thomson American Health Consultants is offering an audio conference to help you learn where your hospital may be exposed, what policies and procedures you need to reform to preserve your tax-exempt status, and how to continue to provide necessary care for the uninsured. Billing and Collections Practices Regarding the Uninsured: What You Need to Know to Preserve Your Hospital’s Tax-Exempt Status, which will be held on Thursday, Sept. 6, 2004, from 2:30-3:30 p.m., EST, will be presented by Jay Wolfson, DrPH, JD.
