However, the charity care and community benefit paradigm has come under the microscope in recent years by both federal and state entities. Although California has had charity care and community benefits guidelines in place for years, new scrutiny by the Internal Revenue Service has raised concerns that the overall paradigm will be soon be set for wrenching change. And mounting numbers of uninsured, questions about c-suite compensation and revocations of tax exemptions in other states are driving this dialogue.
