Hospitales sin fines de lucro: la atención caritativa junto a lo que ganan
Actualizado el 11 de noviembre de 2026
Los hospitales sin fines de lucro no pagan impuestos sobre la renta ni sobre la propiedad. A cambio, se espera que beneficien a sus comunidades, y la atención gratuita o con descuento para los pacientes que no pueden pagar, llamada atención caritativa, es la forma más directa. Cada hospital reporta ese costo a Medicare todos los años. Aquí aparece como porcentaje de todos los costos del hospital, junto a lo que el hospital ganó.
- 0.4%–1.3%
- 1.3%–1.8%
- 1.8%–2.5%
- 2.5%–3.4%
- 3.4%–7.8%
Las diferencias entre estados son grandes y dependen sobre todo de quién no tiene seguro. Donde Medicaid cubre a más adultos de bajos ingresos, menos pacientes necesitan atención caritativa; donde no, los hospitales dan más.

Fuentes: Reportes de costos de hospitales de CMS (HCRIS), 2024: costo de la atención caritativa y costos totales, hospitales generales (de cuidados agudos). El ingreso neto es de todas las fuentes, incluidas las inversiones. Los porcentajes mayores al 50% se excluyen como errores de reporte. La atención caritativa es una parte del beneficio comunitario; los hospitales también reportan en otros lugares los costos no pagados de Medicaid, la formación y la investigación.
