Friday, April 28, 2023 | The Latest Research, Commentary, And News From
Health Affairs
Dear John,
In a new podcast episode of
<[link removed]>This
Week
<[link removed]>,
Director of Health Equity Vabren Watts and Program Manager of Health
Equity Ryann Tanap discuss the latest news and developments in the
health equity department at Health Affairs.
Trustee Compensation In Nonprofit Hospitals
Nonprofit hospitals receive taxpayer subsidies, including exemptions
from federal and state income taxes, property tax, and sales tax, as
well as the privilege of receiving tax-deductible charitable
contributions and issuing tax-exempt bonds.
To qualify for these subsidies, nonprofit hospitals must pursue
charitable missions as defined by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
Using 2019 IRS data
<[link removed]>,
Ge Bai and coauthors determine that the 37.3 percent of US nonprofit
hospitals that compensate their trustees have lower
charity-care-to-expense ratios than those that do not compensate their
trustees.
While average trustee compensation across all US nonprofit hospitals
increased by 46 percent from 2011 to 2019, the average
charity-care-to-expense ratio decreased by 21 percent.
While the IRS does not have requirements for trustee compensation for
nonprofit hospitals, Ge Bai and coauthors assert, "The public and
policy makers should understand the fiduciary duties of nonprofit
hospital trustees and the potential implications of excessive trustee
compensation."
