Are You Providing Pro Bono Medical Care? [A Voting Poll and Survey]

Is Less or More Planned in 2022?

[By Staff Reporters]

Join Our Mailing List 

A survey in 2011 suggested that more than 40% of the country’s doctors are doing less pro-bono work due to managed care, and the resulting decrease in personal income.  Today, some pundits wonder if the exacerbated cause was the ACA?

AAFP Intervenes

To combat this unintended economic phenomenon today, the organization Volunteers in Healthcare – now with the American Academy of Family Physicians – offers a free information patient record system to track the medical care given to the uninsured. The system allows physicians to track and store information on patients, visits, providers, clinics, referrals and more.  It is guide-driven with sample reports that can be reconstituted to provide summary statistics on patients and providers.

Non-Profit Hospital Accountability

Raising the Ethical Bar

Staff Reportersred-cross3

According to the Wall Street Journal, December 18 2008, Senator Charles Grassley – ranking Republican on the Senate Finance Committee – is weighing proposing legislation in early 2009 that would hold nonprofit hospitals more accountable for the billions of dollars in annual tax exemptions they enjoy.

Minimal Levels of Care Sought

The legislation would require non-profit hospitals to spend a minimum amount on charity care, and set curbs on executive compensation and conflicts of interest. Disclosure requirements would also be increased.

Assessment

Under the new legislation, penalties would be imposed on nonprofit hospitals that fail to meet the new requirements, while penalties could escalate from taxes and fines to stripping a hospital of its federal-tax exemption if it continues to misbehave.
