Federal Tax Credit Incentives for Clean Energy Capital Expenditures

Online

Significant changes in the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (“IRA”) allow not-for-profit hospitals to receive an IRS refund or monetize accelerated deductions with engineers and architects for certain clean energy improvements, even if no tax liability is due. While in previous taxable years, not-for-profits were limited to capturing these cash benefits only if they had unrelated business income tax (“UBIT”), under the IRA, all not-for-profits are incentivized to invest in clean energy infrastructure through the direct payment program regardless of tax liability.

Key Medicare Reimbursement Drivers for Hospitals: The Wage Index, Occupational Mix Survey, and Reclassifications

Online

The goal of the wage index factor is to adjust a hospital’s reimbursement to account for labor cost differences across the United States. Over the last several years, Congress and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) have acknowledged the wage index system is broken and it is vulnerable to many inaccuracies. As part of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), CMS was given a deadline of December 31, 2011 to submit a plan for wage index reform. The deadline was over 11 years ago and no changes have been implemented. TPR will provide a wage index overview, continued areas of focus, important timelines, and an update on wage index reform, and why they believe reform may be needed. TPR will also discuss the Office of Inspector General (OIG) activity related to the wage index.
