CMS to issue Transmittal 13 to the Provider Cost Reporting Forms and Instructions, Chapter 40, Form CMS-2552-10
Previously CMS issued Transmittal 12 to The Hospital and Hospital Health Care Complex Cost Report, Form CMS-2552-10. HFS provided a detailed overview of the T-12 and links to the CMS website at:
HFS has been notified that CMS is in the process of issuing a Transmittal 13 for the hospital cost report, Form CMS-2552-10. The T-13 will reissue all content from T-12 and revises the effective date from cost reporting periods ending on or after August 31, 2017, to cost reporting periods ending on or after September 30, 2017. CMS anticipates T-13 will be issued by the end of this week.
We have also been notified that any hospital with a fiscal year ending on or after September 30, 2017, must submit using T-13. However, if a hospital with a fiscal year ending on or after September 30, 2017, has already submitted their cost report using T-11, it is not required to resubmit the cost report unless that provider is participating in the Rural Health Demonstration Project and/or has Nursing and Allied Health Education (NAHE) programs. All fiscal year ending September 30, 2017, cost reports will be final settled on the latest transmittal.
Additional HFS Note: There are two major revisions impacting Hospital with NAHE programs and hospitals reimbursed under the Rural Health Demonstration Project.
NAHE – T-12 modified instructions for Worksheet S-2, Part I, line 60 for nursing school and allied health education (NAHE) activities to separately identify each individual program reimbursed in accordance with the provisions of 42 CFR 413.85 where reimbursement is made on a reasonable cost basis. Details for each NAHE program will be reported on subscripts on line 60 and separate cost centers must be identified on Worksheet A for each program.
Rural Health Demonstration Program – CMS has added Worksheet E, Part A, lines 200 through 218 to calculate the §410A demonstration project payment adjustment amount for inpatient services. HFS previously accommodated this provision on HFS Worksheet E, Part H.
