On December 31, 2014, the IRS released final regulations explaining the requirements under Section 501(r) of the Affordable Care Act that charitable hospitals must satisfy in order to maintain their 501(c)(3) exemption. In these regulations, there are several changes affecting both Community Health Needs Assessments and Financial Assistance Policies.
Eddie Phillips of our Atlanta office will be presenting a webinar on these regulations for the Georgia Hospital Association on January 22 at 1:00. Please plan on attending this very important webinar to learn how the final rule impacts your facility. You can register for this event on GHA’s website at the following link:
