All tax-exempt organizations file a Form 990 with the IRS for every tax year. If the tax-exempt organization operates one or more hospital facilities during the tax year, the organization must attach a Schedule H to Form 990.

Reported to credit agency Not available Under the ACA, states have the choice to expand Medicaid eligibility for their residents up to 138% of the federal poverty guidelines. The Medicaid expansion provision of the ACA did not go into effect until January 2014, so data in this web tool will not reflect each state's current Medicaid eligibility threshold.

After enactment of the ACA, has the state in which this tax-exempt hospital is located expanded Medicaid?

If not, is the state's Medicaid threshold for working parents at or below 76% of the federal poverty guidelines? Not available In addition to the federal requirements, some states have laws stipulating community benefit requirements as a result of tax-exemption. The laws vary from state to state and may require the tax-exempt hospitals to submit community benefit reports.

HUNTINGTON MEMORIAL HOSPITAL, INC. ACCEPTS ALL MEDICARE PATIENTS, AS REFLECTED ON THE YEAR-END MEDICARE COST REPORT, WITH THE KNOWLEDGE THAT THERE MAY BE SHORTFALLS. INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE (IRS) REVENUE RULING 69-545 IMPLIES THAT TREATING MEDICARE PATIENTS IS A COMMUNITY BENEFIT. IRS REVENUE RULING 69-545, WHICH ESTABLISHED THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD FOR NONPROFIT HOSPITALS, STATES THAT IF A HOSPITAL SERVES PATIENTS WITH GOVERNMENTAL HEALTH BENEFITS, INCLUDING MEDICARE, THEN THIS IS AN INDICATION THAT THE HOSPITAL OPERATES TO PROMOTE THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY. HOWEVER, MEDICARE PAYMENTS REPRESENT A PROXY OF COST CALLED THE ""UPPER PAYMENT LIMIT."" IT HAS HISTORICALLY BEEN ASSUMED THAT UPPER PAYMENT LIMIT PAYMENTS DO NOT GENERATE A SHORTFALL. AS A RESULT, HUNTINGTON MEMORIAL HOSPITAL, INC. HAS TAKEN THE POSITION NOT TO INCLUDE THE MEDICARE SHORTFALLS OR SURPLUSES AS PART OF COMMUNITY BENEFIT. HUNTINGTON MEMORIAL HOSPITAL, INC. RECOGNIZES THAT THE SHORTFALL OR SURPLUS FROM MEDICARE DOES NOT INCLUDE THE COSTS AND REVENUES ASSOCIATED WITH MEDICARE ADVANTAGE PATIENTS.
