Nonprofit Hospitals

The 2023 Montana Legislature passed House Bill 45 requiring the Department of Public Health and Human Services (DPHHS) to collect data from nonprofit hospitals, critical access hospitals, and rural emergency hospitals. Each nonprofit facility must provide community benefit and financial assistance documentation within 30 days of filing with the IRS.

The ability of DPHHS to keep records on health care facilities is essential and required by law. It is important to submit reports in a timely manner to avoid penalties.

The following documentation is required:

  • IRS form 990
  • IRS form 990 schedule H and associated worksheets
  • Financial assistance policy for the current calendar year
  • Community benefit plan for the current calendar year
  • If not a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit, documentation of what type of nonprofit

Cover sheet and instructions for the Nonprofit Hospital, Critical Access Hospital and Rural Emergency Hospital Reports.
