At the beginning of this month, the New Jersey Senate passed S782, in which state for-profit hospitals would have to file certain financials — such as audited financial statements for the past three years, a list of investors and joint ventures, compensation and other data — with the New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services.
Moody’s analysts said since non-profit hospitals are already required to report these financials, this law would let them access better information to compete with for-profit competitors.
Currently, there are nine hospitals in New Jersey that have already converted from non-profit to for-profit or have the potential to do so. (Note: Mountainside Hospital is already a for-profit hospital and may be exploring a new for-profit buyer, hence why it is on both charts.)
