Nonprofit hospitals must share more money details with the public.

What it does

The bill makes nonprofit hospitals report more facts about their money to the IRS each year. They must say how much they spend on community health, help for poor patients, and ads. They must report specific services like cancer care or heart care. Big hospitals with over 100 beds must report even more. Hospitals with more than $100 million in patient money must also report more. They must say how much money they make from a federal drug discount program.

Who it affects

Patients and communities will see more facts about what nonprofit hospitals do with their money. Nonprofit hospitals will have to report more details each year.

One thing to notice

The bill asks the government to study how much tax money the 25 biggest nonprofit hospital systems save. This study may lead to new laws about which hospitals keep their tax breaks.
