Summary
Nonprofit hospitals. Limits what may constitute community benefits for certain nonprofit hospitals. Requires, before November 1 of each state fiscal year, nonprofit hospitals (that are not county hospitals) to provide to the Indiana department of health a report including aggregate data on all billed services and items and a comparison of the charges for those services and items to their respective Medicare reimbursement rates. Provides that a nonprofit hospital that charges an amount for a service or item in excess of 200% of the Medicare reimbursement rate at the time of the charge forfeits its status as a nonprofit hospital. Provides that all nonprofit hospitals are subject to an annual audit by, and at the discretion of, the secretary of state. Requires, before August 1 of each year, every nonprofit hospital to: (1) provide the health care cost oversight task force with the entirety of the Schedule H portion of the nonprofit hospital's previous taxable year's federal Form 990; and (2) make available for publication on the general assembly's website the entirety of the Schedule H portion of the nonprofit hospital's previous taxable year's federal Form 990. Provides that a nonprofit hospital may only make redactions with regard to: (1) personally identifiable information; and (2) confidential information under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
