The Charity Care Class Action Lawsuits:
What You Need to Do to Survive Audio CD
   Recorded: July 28, 2004

Faculty: Dan Mulholland, Henry Casale & Phil Zarone

* Dozens of hospitals and health care organizations have been named as defendants in class action suits alleging that they do not give enough charity care.

* Congressional committees have held hearings blasting hospitals for the same thing.

* And government agencies continue to scold hospitals for not following their vague and often conflicting regulations on the subject.

Is this issue going to be the straw that finally breaks the nonprofit healthcare system's back?

We don't think so, as long as you follow some basic principles relative to charity care, discounts and professional courtesy.

Attorneys Dan Mulholland, Henry Casale & Phil Zarone analyze the class action suits filed so far, discuss where those cases are going and what defenses hospitals that are named in them might raise. They also provide guidance about the following topics:

* Charity Care: How much is enough?
* Discounts to uninsured patients
* Waivers of cop-pays and deductibles
* Gifts and gratuities to patients
* Free transportation
* Preventive healthcare services
* Professional courtesy
* How to quantify your charitable contribution to the community
