Hospitals have the opportunity to participate in the American Hospital Association's second annual Schedule H Project, which reports the financial costs non-profit hospitals incur because of charitable care, community building activities and unreimbursed Medicare.
In order to participate, hospitals may submit a copy of their 2010 Schedule H form to a secure Ernst & Young website between May 15 and Sept. 15. No hospital or system choosing to participate in the project will have its name or identifying information disclosed.
Ernst & Young analyzes the information obtained from submitted Schedule H forms — 571 hospitals and systems participated last year — and then summarizes hospital responses in a report that will help the AHA advocate for improvements to Schedule H, as well as oppose any changes to Schedule H.
