In response to several questions submitted by CHA and others, as well as questions asked during a recent open door forum, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services has released the attached document clarifying its recently revised instructions for Worksheet S-10 of the Medicare cost report. CHA reminds hospitals that the deadline to submit amended cost reports for federal fiscal years 2014 and 2015 is Jan. 2. Worksheets received by Dec. 2 will be reflected in the cost report data file used to develop federal fiscal year proposed rules. Hospital data submitted after Dec. 2 but by Jan. 2 will be reflected in the cost report data file that is typically used to develop the federal fiscal year final rules. Additional resources for Worksheet S-10 are available on CHA’s website.
