Boston May Increase Fees for Non-Profit Hospitals

Boston is expected to introduce a plan next month that would charge non-profits in the city, including non-profit hospitals, a fee equal to 25 percent of their properties’ tax assessment in order to increase city revenue, according to a report by the Boston Herald.

The proposal, being called the PILOT program, is expected to generate $24 million and would be phased in over five years. Some non-profits would receive a community benefit deduction from their fees, requiring them to pay only 12.5 percent of their tax assessments, according to the report.

Some hospitals have said they will begin charging patients $2 per office visit to offset the costs of the fee, if it is enacted, according to the report.
