The IRS decided the $800 million bond offering violated federal codes, as the offering overburdened the tax-exempt market and exceeded interest yield restrictions, according to the report.

Baptist Health has not admitted wrongdoing, and will settle to avoid the costs of a legal battle, according to the report.
