Forms

Hospitals shall submit names and compensation information using Department of Health Form 346-095: Compensation of Hospital Employees (Excel). If the five highest compensated employees don't include the lead administrator for the hospital, please also submit compensation information for the lead administrator.

Nonprofit hospitals may submit IRS form 990 schedule J (PDF) to the department to meet requirements of this law. Compensation information for lead administrators for hospitals must be included and clearly indicated on the schedule.

In addition, if a hospital licensed under RCW 70.41 is also part of a healthcare system, the hospitals can meet requirements of this law by submitting IRS form 990 schedule J (PDF) for the health system. Compensation information for lead hospital administrators must be included and clearly indicated on the schedule.

Due dates

Due dates depend on the format used to submit hospital compensation information. Nonprofit hospitals may use either format. If a nonprofit hospital reports compensation information to the department by submitting IRS form 990 schedule J (PDF) with compensation information for the lead administrator included and clearly indicated on the schedule, this report is due within 135 days following the end of each hospital's fiscal year. IRS Schedule 990 Schedule J Instructions (PDF) are available if needed.
