CMS issues Transmittal 1 to the Provider Cost Reporting Forms and Instructions, Chapter 47, Home Health Agency (HHA) Cost Report, Form CMS-1728-20
On October 2, 2020 CMS issued Transmittal 1 for the Home Health Agency (HHA) Cost Report, Form CMS‑1728‑20, effective for cost reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020 and ending on or after December 31, 2020. HFS is reviewing the full Transmittal and will be working with CMS to incorporate and receive CMS approval for the revised forms. For cost reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020 and ending on or after December 31, 2020, we will have only one 1728 HFS option going forward. The Compu Max 1728-94 will not be updated to the new 1728-20 and all HFS users will utilize the HFS MCRIF32 1728-20 software.
HFS will be providing a more detailed summary of changes in a future notice and/or WebEx session.
The full Transmittal is available at the CMS website:
