title: IRS: where's the charity? Rural hospital manager may lose federal tax exemption.
abstract: A rural hospital management company with ties to VHA may lose its federal tax exemption because, according to the Internal Revenue Service, there's nothing charitable about operating a hospital under contract. The case against the company is significant because it calls into question the tax exemptions of any not-for-profit corporation that manages or leases hospitals.
