Hospital 2552-10 Software Development & Proposed Filing Extensions

We are currently beta testing the new 2552-10 software in numerous sites across the country.  Unfortunately, the new form set is still not final and therefore neither is our hospital software.  CMS is still working on Transmittal 2.  Transmittal 2 is needed is to fix various problems in Transmittal 1 (the current version of the 2552-10).  Transmittal 2 will also implement numerous provisions of the  ACA that were not included in Transmittal 1.  We will work diligently to incorporate the Transmittal 2 changes into our 2552-10 software so that we may obtain CMS approval as quickly as possible.  Once we obtain CMS approval we will release the 2552-10 software to all of our customers.
We realize many of you are concerned about the diminished time you will have to timely prepare and submit your hospital cost reports .  We have expressed your concerns to CMS for many months now.  CMS has proposed extensions for the 2552-10, but we have NOT received this as a final communication from CMS.  (See  table, below.) When we do, we’ll let everyone know.  Until then, we can only wait on CMS.
