Knowing makes all the difference
Skilled Nursing Facilities (SNFs) participating in the Medicare program submit annually to CMS cost reports in a standardized electronic format. SNFs file the form CMS-2540-96 in accordance with 42-CFR Part 413.20 and the Provider Reimbursement Manual Part I. Hospital-based SNFs continue to use Form CMS 2552-96 Hospital and Hospital Health Care Complex Cost Report.
The SNF cost reports are a valuable database and provide unique nationwide information for facility characteristics, utilization, cost, charges, reimbursement, financial and income statements.
The Healthcare Cost Report Information System (HCRIS) for SNFs collects annually Facility Cost Report -Data files and stores them in a relational database. The database is continuously updated and is made public quarterly (March, June, September, and December).
Idatareport makes all data available in many formats (Excel, SAS, Stata, etc) ready for download. The data is available by PPS year in the familiar worksheet format for all reporting facilities or customized reports.
HCRIS keeps the highest level of SNF cost report based on its status. From lowest to highest the report status is: as submitted, Settled without audit, Settled with audit, Reopened, Amended.
Many times SNFs submit more than one cost report for a FY with the same status. This can happen if a change in ownership or FY occurs during the year. Idatareport flags the duplicate reports and selects the most representative (e.g., higher number of months) for the analysis. A reporting length indicator is calculated and included with every data set.
