Hospital Community Benefit Accountability

HB19-1320 requires non-profit tax exempt general hospitals, Denver Health Medical Center, and University of Colorado Hospital to complete a community health needs assessment every three years and an annual community benefit implementation plan every year. These hospitals will be required to report to the Department of Health Care Policy & Financing (the Department) the following:

  • Certain community benefits
  • Costs
  • Shortfalls in the preceding year

Any hospital not required to report is encouraged to do so.

Each hospital will be required to convene a public meeting at least once a year that will be used to seek feedback on the hospital's community benefit activities and the hospital's community benefit implementation plan. Hospital's will be required to invite the following entities to participate:

  • Representatives from local public and local government agencies
  • Representatives from certain state agencies
  • The general public
