Hospital Community Benefit Accountability

Greetings Hospital Partners,

The Department of Health Care Policy & Financing (HCPF) would like to inform all reporting hospitals that the Hospital Community Benefit Accountability (HCBA) Schedule H Crosswalk has been updated. HCPF has updated the crosswalk to align with the new reporting categories from House Bill 23-1243: Hospital Community Benefit. Hospitals can utilize this crosswalk to assist in the completion of the HCBA annual reporting template by crosswalking the IRS 990 Schedule H community benefit spending categories to categories detailed in HCBA such as social determinants of health, behavioral health, free or discounted care services, and etc.

As a reminder, the HCBA annual template and other documentation around community benefit public meetings are due to HCPF on or before September 13, 2024.

Below is the link to the updated crosswalk.

This resource is also available on HCPF’s HCBA webpage, in the “Resource” section.

For questions or concerns, please reach out to HCPF through the Hospital Community Benefit dedicated email: hcpf_hospitalcommunitybenefit@state.co.us.
