“If either of these bills are enacted into law, there would be a significant financial impact on tax-exempt healthcare organizations,” said HFMA President and CEO Joseph J. Fifer, FHFMA, CPA. “Healthcare leaders should get up to speed on these fast-breaking legislative developments now. Effects could start to hit by the end of this calendar year.”

Provisions of the bills that will be addressed during the webinar include proposed repeal of the tax exemption for hospital private activity and advance refunding bonds, an excise tax on certain levels and forms of executive compensation, and changes in the deductibility of various employee benefits. Speakers will also discuss the prospects for passage of tax reform, impacts on healthcare organizations, and steps organizations should take now to prepare for potential passage of the legislation.  

The webinar is designed for healthcare CEOs, chief financial officers, and other senior financial executives. It is approved for 1.0 hour of Continuing Professional Education credit.
