About the Program

The financial and operational impacts of regulation and legislative oversight in the health care industry are pervasive and constantly changing.  No less intrusive are the challenges organizations face every day from a tax perspective.  This program will focus on some of these challenges as a result of recent legislation, including health care reform and fiscal cliff agreement, and current Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) activity.  Included in the discussion will be the additional requirements for certain hospitals under Internal Revenue Code Section 501(r) – CHNAs, financial assistance policies, charges, and billing and collections – effects of the fiscal cliff agreement on employers, and relevant areas of Internal Revenue Service activity, including audit focus, regulations, announcements and PLRs.  Woven throughout the discussion will be the IRS’ focus on governance.
