IRS 990 - Schedule H
The IRS recently unveiled its updated Form 990 for tax-exempt organizations, with a new schedule designed specifically for hospitals. While the IRS is phasing in Schedule H for the 2008 tax year, the entire schedule will be mandatory in the 2009 tax year. More than ever, hospitals must automate their charity care program enrollment and reporting processes in order to comply with increasing government monitoring.
Objective
Charity Screening
Hospitals need to demonstrate that their screening process
identifies any patient who would qualify for charity care under their
specific guidelines. By automating the screening process using technology,
the process is truly objective and thus passes the IRS’ scrutiny.
Aided by SearchAmerica’s Payment Advisor Suite, registrars and financial counselors can quickly and accurately determine whether or not an individual qualifies for their unique charity/uninsured discount program based on their income, household size and asset information.
