Justifying Your Tax-Exempt Status

During this webinar, presented by Rural Health Innovations, Cindy Dupree from Draffin &Tucker, LLP, and Kami Norland from the National Rural Health Resource Center discussed the new IRS requirements as outlined in Section 9007 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act applicable to 501c3 non-profit hospitals including: community needs assessments, financial assistance policies, limitation on hospital charges, and billing and collections.

Because much remains unclear about how the IRS expects rural hospitals to comply with the legislation, CRHC remains alert for further clarifications, in order to make information and assistance available to you as quickly as possible.
