The proposed form would ask nonprofit hospitals to detail how much money they spent on a number of specific areas, such as charity care, unreimbursed Medicaid costs and health professions education.
Schedule H also asks nonprofit hospitals to describe their collection and billing practices and seeks details as to their joint ventures, such as specifying the ownership interests of doctors in any for-profit activities.
The form comes as more attention has focused on whether nonprofit hospitals are carrying out effectively their charitable missions, as well as how they bill uninsured patients.
