Under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, a federal review of hospital community benefits is required at least once every three years. IRS officials said hospitals will not be notified whether they are under review, and the IRS does not expect to contact hospitals for information during reviews, according to the news report.
Additionally, the IRS announced that although the reviews are not official examinations, the agency may recommend a full examination based on individual reviews.
