The Internal Revenue Service has proposed leeway for not-for-profit hospitals to be able to address violations of the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
The IRS this week issued its proposed rule on how not-for-profit hospitals should administer and submit community health needs assessments. Hospitals can be fined up to $50,000 for not delivering an acceptable needs assessment. The proposed rule would allow hospitals to correct minor errors and omissions that are “neither willful nor egregious.”
