House Bill (HB) 19-1320, regarding Hospital Community Benefit Accountability, requires certain hospitals to convene a public meeting at least once a year to seek feedback regarding the hospital's community benefit activities, and report back to the Department on community benefits, costs and shortfalls from the preceding year
.
The Department has been working with the Colorado Hospital Association to ease the reporting requirements for the first report due on September 1, 2020. We have posted the following documents to the Hospital Community Benefit Accountability webpage to assist with the reporting for this program:
- Program Guidance
- Report Template
- Modified Reporting Requirements
- Schedule H Crosswalk
Below is the modified timeline that reflects the delay of the report due date:
September 1, 2020 - Hospitals submit report of activities to the Department.
September 15, 2020 - Department sends request for clarification to hospitals or notice of submission acceptance.
October 1, 2020 - Hospitals respond to the Department request for clarification.
October 15, 2020 - Department sends final response to Hospitals.
January 15, 2021 - Department submits a summary report to the General Assembly and the submitted reports are made available on the public web page.
Thank you,
Nancy Dolson
