Tax-exempt entities should consider the potential loss of tax exempt status when developing Value Based Purchasing programs. Gifts and grants to entities that are made of physicians and other for profit enties may trigger intermediate sanctions or loss of tax-exempt status. The requirements for tax-exempt status must be carefully reviewed as would be the case in any joint venture with referring physicians. Bond covenants may also contain limitations that present challenges for the formation of a Value-Based Purchasing Network.
