4000. GENERAL
The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 requires that you be informed why information is collected
and what the information is used for by the government. Section 1886(f)(1) of the Social Security
Act (the Act) requires the Secretary to maintain a system of cost reporting for Prospective Payment
System (PPS) hospitals, which includes a standardized electronic format. In accordance with
§§1815(a), 1833(e), and 1861(v)(1)(A) of the Act, providers of service participating in the Medicare
program are required to submit annual information to achieve settlement of costs for health care
services rendered to Medicare beneficiaries. Also, 42 CFR 413.20(b) requires cost reports on an
annual basis. In accordance with these provisions, all hospital and health care complexes to
determine program payment must complete Form-CMS-2552-10 with a valid Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) control number. In addition to determining program payment, the data submitted
on the cost report support management of the Federal programs, e.g., data extraction in developing
cost limits, data extraction in developing and updating various prospective payment systems. The
information reported on Form CMS-2552-10 must conform to the requirements and principles set
forth in 42 CFR, Part 412, 42 CFR, Part 413, and in the Provider Reimbursement Manual, Part I.
The filing of the cost report is mandatory, and failure to do so results in all payments to be deemed
overpayment and a withhold up to 100 percent until the cost report is received. (See Pub. 15-2,
§100.) Except for the compensation information, the cost report information is considered public
record under the freedom of information act 45 CFR Part 5. The instructions contained in this
chapter are effective for hospitals and hospital health care complexes with cost reporting periods
beginning on or after May 1, 2010.
NOTE: This form is not used by freestanding skilled nursing facilities.
Worksheets are provided on an as needed basis dependent on the needs of the hospital. Not all
worksheets are needed by all hospitals. The following are a few examples of conditions for which
worksheets are needed:
• Reimbursement is claimed for hospital swing beds;
• Reimbursement is claimed for a hospital-based inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) or
inpatient psychiatric facility (IPF);
• Reimbursement is claimed for a hospital-based community mental health center (CMHC);
• The hospital has physical therapy services furnished by outside suppliers (applicable for
cost reimbursement and Tax Equity and Fiscal responsibility Act of 1982 (PL97248)
(TEFRA providers, not PPS); or
• The hospital is a certified transplant center (CTC).
NOTE: Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 108
hours per response, and record keeping burden is estimated to average 565 hours per
response. This includes time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources,
gathering and maintaining data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of
information. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this
collection of information, including suggestions for reducing the burden, to:

Rev. 1 40-7
4000 (Cont.) FORM CMS-2552-10 12-10
Section 4007(b) of the omnibus reconciliation Act (OBRA 1987) states that effective with cost
reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 1989, you are required to submit your cost report
electronically unless you receive an exemption from CMS. The legislation allows CMS to delay or
waiver implementation if the electronic submission results in financial hardship (in particular for
providers with only a small percentage of Medicare volume). Exemptions are granted on a case-by-
case basis. (See Pub. 15-2, §130.3 for electronically prepared cost reports and requirements.)
In addition to Medicare reimbursement, these forms also provide for the computation of
reimbursement applicable to titles V and XIX to the extent required by individual State programs.
Generally, the worksheets and portions of worksheets applicable to titles V and XIX are completed
only to the extent these forms are required by the State program. However, Worksheets S-3 and D-1
must always be completed with title XIX data.
Each electronic system provides for the step down method of cost finding. This method provides for
allocating the cost of services rendered by each general service cost center to other cost centers,
which utilize the services. Once the costs of a general service cost center have been allocated, that
cost center is considered closed. Once closed, it does not receive any of the costs subsequently
allocated from the remaining general service cost centers. After all costs of the general service cost
centers have been allocated to the remaining cost centers, the total costs of these remaining cost
centers are further distributed to the departmental classification to which they pertain, e.g., hospital
general inpatient routine, subprovider.
The cost report is designed to accommodate a health care complex with multiple entities. If a health
care complex has more than one entity reporting (except skilled nursing facilities and nursing
facilities which cannot exceed more than one hospital-based facility), add additional lines for each
entity by subscripting the line designation. For example, subprovider, line 4, Worksheet S, Part III is
subscripted 4.00 for subprovider I and 4.01 for subprovider II.
NOTE: Follow this sequence of numbering for subscripting lines throughout the cost report.
Similarly, add lines 42.00 and 42.01 to Worksheets A; B, Parts I and II; B-1; C; D, Parts I and III;
and Worksheet L-1, Parts I and II. For multiple use worksheets such as Worksheet D-1, add
subprovider II to the existing designations in the headings and the corresponding component number.
In completing the worksheets, show reductions in expenses in parentheses ( ) unless otherwise
indicated.
4000.1 Rounding Standards for Fractional Computations.--Throughout the Medicare cost report,
required computations result in fractions. The following rounding standards must be employed for
such computations. When performing multiple calculations, round after each calculation. However,
1. Round to 2 decimal places:
a. Percentages
b. Averages, standard work week, payment rates, and cost limits
c. Full time equivalent employees
d. Per diems, hourly rates
2. Round to 3 decimal places:
a. Payment to cost ratio
40-8 Rev. 1
12-10 FORM CMS-2552-10 4000.2
3. Round to 4 decimal places:
a. Wage adjustment factor
b. Medicare SSI ratio
4. Round to 5 decimal places:
a. Payment reduction (e.g., capital reduction, outpatient cost reduction)
5. Round to 6 decimal places:
a. Ratios (e.g., unit cost multipliers, cost/charge ratios, days to days)
Where a difference exists within a column as a result of computing costs using a fraction or decimal,
and therefore the sum of the parts do not equal the whole, the highest amount in that column must
either be increased or decreased by the difference. If it happens that there are two high numbers
equaling the same amount, adjust the first high number from the top of the worksheet for which it
applies.

the file by the contractor and is archived accordingly. This file is your original submission and is not
to be modified.
The contractor must indicate in the appropriate box whether this is the initial cost report (first cost
report for the provider number, for this contractor), final report due to termination, or if this is a
reopening. If it is a reopening, indicate the number of times the cost report has been reopened. The
contractor should also indicate in Healthcare Cost Report Information System (HCRIS) on line 1,
column 1 of worksheet S the following codes that correspond to the filing status of the cost report:
1=As submitted; 2=Amended; 3=Settled; and 4=Reopened.
The contractor indicates general information about this cost report. This data is submitted as alpha-
numeric data in the HCRIS file as follows (this does not appear on the cost report):
Line 1, Column 1--Enter the cost report status code of 1 for as submitted, 2 for amended, 3 for
settled, and 4 for reopened. (Refer to section 10.3 of Chapter 8 of Office of Financial Management
settled Manual Pub. 100-06.)
Line 1, Column 2--If this is a reopened cost report, enter the number of times the cost report has been
reopened. This field should only be completed if the cost report status code in line 1, column 1 is 4.
Line 2, Column 1--Enter the date (mm/dd/yyyy) an accepted cost report was received from the
provider.
Line 2, Column 2--Enter the 5 position Contractor Number.
Line 2, Column 3--Enter I for initial, enter F for final, or enter N for neither. An initial report is the
very first cost report the contractor submits for a particular provider number. It may not be the first
cost report ever for this provider number which may have been handled by a previous contractor, but
it would be the initial cost report for the new contractor.
A final report is the terminating cost report for a particular provider number. If, for example, the
provider terminated in 2004, but the 1998 cost report was reopened and submitted after the
submission of the 2004 report, the 2004 report is still considered the final report for the provider.
If a provider does have a cost report that is both an initial and final report for a particular year then
this field should contain an I if the cost report is an as submitted report, and an F if the cost report is
a settled report.
Line 2, Column 4--Enter the Notice of Program Reimbursement (NPR) date (mm/dd/yyyy). The
NPR date must be present if the cost report status code is 3 or 4.
4003.2 Part II - Certification.--This certification is read, prepared, and signed by the an officer or
administrator of the provider after the cost report has been completed in its entirety.
4003.3 Part III - Settlement Summary.--Enter the balance due to or due from the applicable
program for each applicable component of the complex. Transfer settlement amounts as follows:

4004. WORKSHEET S-2 - HOSPITAL AND HOSPITAL HEALTH CARE COMPLEX
IDENTIFICATION DATA
This worksheet consists of two parts:
Part I - Hospital and Hospital Health Care Complex Identification Data
Part II - Hospital and Hospital Health Care Complex Reimbursement Questionnaire
4004.1 Part I - Hospital and Hospital Health Care Complex Identification Data.-- The information
required on this worksheet is needed to properly identify the provider. The responses to all lines are
Yes or No unless otherwise indicated by the type of question.
Line Descriptions
Lines 1 and 2--Enter the street address, post office box (if applicable), the city, State, zip code, and
county of the hospital.
Lines 3 through 17--Enter on the appropriate lines and columns indicated the component names,
CMS certification numbers (CCN), core based statistical area (CBSA) number, provider type, and
certification dates of the hospital and its various components, if any. Indicate for each health care
program (titles V, XVIII, or XIX) the payment system applicable to the hospital and its various
components by entering P, T, O, or N in the appropriate column to designate PPS, TEFRA, OTHER
(CAHs or cost reimbursement), or NOT APPLICABLE, respectively.
Column 4--Indicate, as applicable, the number listed below which best corresponds with the type of
services provided.
1 = General Short Term 6 = Religious Non-Medical Health Care Institution
2 = General Long Term 7 = Children
3 = Cancer 8 = Alcohol and Drug
4 = Psychiatric 9 = Other
5 = Rehabilitation
If your hospital services various types of patients, indicate "General - Short Term" or "General -
Long Term," as appropriate.
NOTE: Long term care hospitals are hospitals organized to provide long term treatment programs
with lengths of stay greater than 25 days. Some hospitals may be certified as other than long term
care hospitals, but also have lengths of stay greater than 25 days.
If your hospital cares for only a special type of patient (such as cancer patients), indicate the special
group served. If you are not one of the hospital types described in items 1 through 8 above, indicate
9 for "Other".
Line 3--This is an institution which meets the requirements of §1861(e) or §1861(mm)(1) of the Act
and participates in the Medicare program or is a Federally controlled institution approved by CMS.
Line 4--The distinct part inpatient psychiatric facility (IPF) is a portion of a general hospital which
has been issued a subprovider CCN because it offers a clearly different type of service from the
remainder of the hospital with such services reimbursed under inpatient psychiatric PPS. See CMS
Pub. 15-1, chapter 23, for a complete explanation of separate cost entities in multiple facility
hospitals. While an excluded unit (excluded from IPPS) in a hospital subject to IPPS may not meet
the definition of a subprovider, treat it as a subprovider for cost reporting purposes.

Line 5--The distinct part inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) is a portion of a general hospital which
has been issued a subprovider CCN because it offers a clearly different type of service from the
remainder of the hospital with such services reimbursed under inpatient rehabilitation PPS. See
CMS Pub. 15-1, chapter 23, for a complete explanation of separate cost entities in multiple facility
hospitals. While an excluded unit (excluded from IPPS) in a hospital subject to IPPS may not meet
the definition of a subprovider, treat it as a subprovider for cost reporting purposes.
Line 6--This is a portion of a general hospital which has been issued a subprovider CCN because it
offers a clearly different type of service from the remainder of the hospital. See CMS Pub. 15-1,
chapter 23, for a complete explanation of separate cost entities in multiple facility hospitals. While
an excluded unit (excluded from IPPS)in a hospital subject to IPPS may not meet the definition of a
subprovider, treat it as a subprovider for cost reporting purposes. If you have more than one
subprovider, subscript this line.
Line 7--Medicare swing-bed services are paid under the SNF PPS system (indicate payment system
as “P”). CAHs are reimbursed on a cost basis for swing-bed services and should indicate “O” as the
payment system. Rural hospitals with fewer than 100 beds may be approved by CMS to use these
beds interchangeably as hospital and skilled nursing facility beds with payment based on the specific
care provided. This is authorized by §1883 of the Act. (See CMS Pub. 15-1, §§2230-2230.6.)
Line 8--Swing bed-NF services are not payable under the Medicare program but are payable under
State Medicaid programs if included in the Medicaid State plan. This is a rural hospital with fewer
than 100 beds that has a Medicare swing bed agreement approved by CMS and that is approved by
the State Medicaid agency to use these beds interchangeably as hospital and other nursing facility
beds, with payment based on the specific level of care provided. This is authorized by §1913 of the
Act.
Line 9--This is a distinct part skilled nursing facility that has been issued an SNF identification
number and which meets the requirements of §1819 of the Act. For cost reporting periods beginning
on or after October 1, 1996, a complex cannot contain more than one hospital-based SNF or hospital-
based NF.
Line 10--This is a distinct part nursing facility which has been issued a separate identification
number and which meets the requirements of §1905 of the Act. (See 42 CFR 442.300 and 42 CFR
442.400 for standards for other nursing facilities, for other than facilities for the mentally retarded,
and for facilities for the mentally retarded.) If your State recognizes only one level of care, i.e.,
skilled, do not complete any lines designated as NF and report all activity on the SNF line for all
programs. The NF line is used by facilities having two levels of care, i.e., either 100 bed facility all
certified for NF and partially certified for SNF or 50 beds certified for SNF only and 50 beds
certified for NF only. The contractor will reject a cost report attempting to report more than one
nursing facility.
If the facility operates an Intermediate Care Facility/Mental Retarded (ICF/MR) subscript line 10 to
10.01 and enter the data on that line. Note: Subscripting is allowed only for the purpose of
reporting an ICF/MR.
Line 11--This is any other hospital-based facility not listed above. The beds in this unit are not
certified for titles V, XVIII, or XIX.
Line 12--This is a distinct part HHA that has been issued an HHA identification number and which

the requirements of §1861(dd) of the Act. No payment designation is required in columns 6, 7, and
8.
Lines 15 and 16--Enter the applicable information for rural health clinics (RHCs) on line 15 and for
federally qualified health clinics (FQHCs) on line 16. These lines are used by RHCs and/or FQHCs
which have been issued a provider number and meet the requirements of §1861(aa) of the Act. If
you have more than one RHC, report them on subscripts of line 15. If you have more than one
FQHC, report them on subscripts of line 16. Report the required information in the appropriate
column for each. (See Exhibit 2, Table 4) RHCs and FQHCs may elect to file a consolidated cost

by all hospitals submitting cost reports to the Medicare contractor under Title XVIII of the Social
Security Act (hereafter referred to as “The Act”). Its purpose is to assist you in preparing an
acceptable cost report, to minimize the need for direct contact between you and your contractor, and
to expedite review and settlement of cost reports. It is designed to answer pertinent questions about
key reimbursement concepts displayed in the cost reports and to gather information necessary to
support certain financial and statistical entries on the cost report. The questionnaire is a tool used in
arriving at a prompt and equitable settlement of your cost report.

U.S.C. 552(b)(6) which covers “personnel and medical files, the disclosure of which would
constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy.” An individual’s compensation is a
personal matter and its release would be an invasion of privacy. Accordingly, CMS will not release,
or make available to the public, compensation information collected.
Instructions for completing Exhibit 1:
Exhibit 1, Allocation of Physician Compensation Hours:
• Complete this exhibit in accordance with Pub. 15-1, §2182.3. The data elements shown are

4005. WORKSHEET S-3 - HOSPITAL AND HOSPITAL HEALTH CARE COMPLEX
STATISTICAL DATA AND HOSPITAL WAGE INDEX INFORMATION
This worksheet consists of three parts:
Part I - Hospital and Hospital Health Care Complex Statistical Data
Part II - Hospital Wage Index Information
Part III - Hospital Wage Index Summary
Part IV - Hospital Wage Related Costs
Part V - Hospital Contract Labor and Benefit Costs
4005.1 Part I - Hospital and Hospital Health Care Complex Statistical Data.--This part collects
statistical data regarding beds, days, FTEs, and discharges.
Column Descriptions
Column 1--Enter the Worksheet A line number that corresponds to the Worksheet S-3 component
line description.
Column 2--Refer to 42 CFR 412.105(b) and Vol. 69 of the Federal Register 154, dated August 11,
2004, page 49093 to determine the facility bed count. Indicate the number of beds available for use
by patients at the end of the cost reporting period. A bed means an adult bed, pediatric bed, birthing
room, or newborn ICU bed (excluding newborn bassinets) maintained in a patient care area for
lodging patients in acute, long term, or domiciliary areas of the hospital. Beds in labor room,
birthing room, postanesthesia, postoperative recovery rooms, outpatient areas, emergency rooms,
ancillary departments, nurses' and other staff residences, and other such areas which are regularly
maintained and utilized for only a portion of the stay of patients (primarily for special procedures or
not for inpatient lodging) are not termed a bed for these purposes. (See CMS Pub. 15-1, §§2200.2 C
and 2205.)
Column 3--Enter the total bed days available. Bed days are computed by multiplying the number of
beds available throughout the period in column 2 by the number of days in the reporting period. If
there is an increase or decrease in the number of beds available during the period, multiply the
number of beds available for each part of the cost reporting period by the number of days for which
that number of beds was available.
Column 4--CAHs accumulate the aggregate number of hours all CAH patients spend in each
category on lines 1 and 8 through 12. This data is for informational purposes only.
Columns 5 through 7--Enter the number of inpatient days or visits, where applicable, for each
component by program. Do not include HMO days except where required (lines 2 through 4,
columns 6 and 7), organ acquisition, or observation bed days in these columns. Observation bed
days are reported in columns 7 (title XIX) and 8 (total), line 28. For LTCH, enter in column 6 on the
applicable line the number of covered Medicare days (from the PS&R) and enter in column 6, line 33
the number of noncovered days (from provider’s books and records) for Medicare patients.
Report the program days for PPS providers (acute care hospital, IPF, IRF, and LTCH) in the cost
reporting period in which the discharge is reported. This also applies to providers under the
TEFRA/PPS blend. TEFRA providers should report their program days in the reporting period in
which they occur.
NOTE: Section 1886(d)(5)(F) of the Act provides for an additional Medicare payment for
hospitals serving a disproportionate share of low income patients. A hospital's eligibility
for these additional payments is partially based on its Medicaid utilization. The count of
Medicaid days used in the Medicare disproportionate share adjustment computation
Rev. 1 40-55
4005.1 (Cont.) FORM CMS-2552-10 12-10
includes days for Medicaid recipients who are members of an HMO as well as out of State
days, Medicaid secondary payer patient days, Medicaid eligible days for which no payment
was received, and baby days after mother's discharge. Medicaid HMO days are reported
on lines 2 through 4 in accordance with CFR 412.106(b)(4)(ii). Therefore, Medicaid
patient days reported on line 1, column 7 do not include days for Medicaid patients who
are also members of an HMO.
Column 8--Enter the number of inpatient days for all classes of patients for each component. Include
organ acquisition and HMO days in this column. This amount will not equal the sum of columns 5
through 7 when the provider renders services to other than titles V, XVIII, or XIX patients.
Column 9--Enter the number of intern and resident full time equivalents (FTEs) in an approved
program determined in accordance with 42 CFR 412.105(f) for the indirect medical education
adjustment. The FTE residents reported by an IPF PPS facility or an IRF PPS facility (whether
freestanding or a unit reported on line 16 or 17, respectively, of an IPPS hospital’s cost report) shall
be determined in accordance with 42 CFR 412.424(d)(1)(iii) for IPFs and in accordance with the
Federal Register, Vol. 70, number 156, dated August 15, 2005, pages 47929-30 for IRFs.
Columns 10 and 11--The average number of FTE employees for the period may be determined either
on a quarterly or semiannual basis. When quarterly data are used, add the total number of hours
worked by all employees on the first week of the first payroll period at the beginning of each quarter,
and divide the sum by 160 (4 times 40). When semiannual data are used, add the total number of
paid hours on the first week of the first payroll period of the first and seventh months of the period.
Divide this sum by 80 (2 times 40). Enter the average number of paid employees in column 10 and
the average number of nonpaid workers in column 11 for each component, as applicable.
Columns 12 through 14--Enter the number of discharges including deaths (excluding newborn and
DOAs) for each component by program. A patient discharge, including death, is a formal release of
a patient. (See 42 CFR 412.4.) Enter the XVIII M+C HMO discharges in column 13, line 2.
Column 15--Enter the number of discharges including deaths (excluding newborn and DOAs) for all
classes of patients for each component.
Line Descriptions
Line 1--In columns 5, 6, 7 and 8, enter the number of adult and pediatric hospital days excluding the
SNF and NF swing bed, observation bed, and hospice days. In columns 6 and 7 also exclude HMO
days. Do not include in column 6 Medicare Secondary Payer/Lesser of Reasonable Cost
(MSP/LCC) days. Include these days only in column 8. However, do not include employee
discount days in column 8.
Labor and delivery days (as defined in the instructions for line 32 of Worksheet S-3, Part I) must not

Labor and delivery days (as defined in the instructions for line 32 of Worksheet S-3, Part I) must not
be included on this line.
Line 15--Enter the number of outpatient visits for CAHs by program and total. An outpatient CAH
visit is defined in 42 CFR 413.70(b)(3)(iii).
Line 16--Enter the applicable data for the IPF subprovider.
Line 17--Enter the applicable data for the IRF subprovider.
Line 18--Enter the applicable data for other than IPF or IRF subproviders. If you have more than one
subprovider, subscript this line.
Line 19--If your State recognizes one level of care, complete this line for titles V, XVIII, and XIX,
however, do not complete line 20. If you answered yes to line 92 of Worksheet S-2, complete all
columns.
Line 20--Enter nursing facility days if you have a separately certified nursing facility for Title XIX or
you answered yes to line 92 of Worksheet S-2. Make no entry if your State recognizes only SNF
level of care. If you operate an ICF/MR, subscript this line to 20.01 and enter the ICF/MR days. Do
not report any nursing facility data on line 20.01.
Line 21--If you have more than one hospital-based other long term care facility, subscript this line.
Line 22--If you have more than one hospital-based HHA, subscript this line.
Line 23--Enter data for an ASC. If you have more than one ASC, subscript this line.
Line 24--Enter days applicable to hospice patients in a distinct part hospice.
Line 25--CMHCs enter the number of partial hospitalization days as applicable. For reporting of
multiple facilities follow the same format used on Worksheet S-2, line 17.
Line 26--Enter the number of outpatient visits for FQHC and RHC. If you have both or multiples of
one, subscript the line.
Line 28--Enter the total observation bed days in column 8. Divide the total number of observation
bed hours by 24 and round up to the nearest whole day. These total hours should include the hours
for observation of patients who are subsequently admitted as inpatients but only the hours up to the
time of admission as well as the hours for observation of patients who are not subsequently admitted
as inpatients but only the hours up to the time of discharge from the facility. Observation bed days
only need to be computed if the observation bed patients are placed in a routine patient care area.
The bed days are needed to calculate the cost of observation beds since it cannot be separately costed
when the routine patient care area is used. If, however, you have a distinct observation bed area, it
must be separately costed (as are all other outpatient cost centers), and this computation is not
needed.
Rev. 1 40-57
4005.2 FORM CMS-2552-10 12-10
Line 29--Enter in column 6 the total number of ambulance trips, as defined by section 4531(a)(1) of
The BBA. Do not subscript this line.
Line 30--Enter in column 8 the employee discount days if applicable. These days are used on
Worksheet E, Part A, line 31 in the calculation of the DSH adjustment and Worksheet E-3, Part III,
line 3 in the calculation of the LIP adjustment.
Line 31--Enter in column 8 the employee discount days, if applicable, for IRF subproviders.
Line 32--Indicate in column 7 the count of labor/delivery days for Title XIX and in column 8 the
total count of labor/delivery days for the entire facility.
For the purposes of reporting on this line, labor and delivery days are defined as days during which a
maternity patient is in the labor/delivery room ancillary area at midnight at the time of census taking,
and is not included in the census of the inpatient routine care area because the patient has not
occupied an inpatient routine bed at some time before admission (see Pub. 15-1, section 2205.2). In
the case where the maternity patient is in a single multipurpose labor, delivery and postpartum (LDP)
room, hospitals must determine the proportion of each inpatient stay that is associated with ancillary
services (labor and delivery) versus routine adult and pediatric services (post partum) and report the
days associated with the labor and delivery portion of the stay on this line. An example of this would
be for a hospital to determine the percentage of each stay associated with labor/delivery services and
apply that percentage to the stay to determine the number of labor and delivery days of the stay.
Alternatively, a hospital could calculate an average percentage of time maternity patients receive
ancillary services in an LDP room during a typical month, and apply that percentage through the rest
of the year to determine the number of labor and delivery days to report on line 32. Maternity
patients must be admitted to the hospital as an inpatient for their labor and delivery days to be
included on line 32. These days must not be reported on Worksheet S-3, Part I, line 1 or line 14.
Line 33--See instructions for “Columns 5 through 7 of this worksheet.
4005.2 Part II - Hospital Wage Index Information.--This worksheet provides for the collection of
hospital wage data which is needed to update the hospital wage index applied to the labor-related
portion of the national average standardized amounts of the prospective payment system. It is
important for hospitals to ensure that the data reported on Worksheet S-3, Parts II, III and IV are
accurate. Beginning October 1, 1993, the wage index must be updated annually. (See
§1886(d)(3)(E) of the Act.) Congress also indicated that any revised wage index must exclude data
for wages incurred in furnishing SNF services. Complete this worksheet for IPPS hospitals (see
§1886(d)), any hospital with an IPPS subprovider, or any hospital that would be subject to IPPS if
not granted a waiver.
NOTE: Any line reference for Worksheets A and A-6 includes all subscripts of that line.
Column 2
Line 1--Enter from Worksheet A, column 1, line 200, the wages and salaries paid to hospital
employees increased by amounts paid for vacation, holiday, sick, other paid-time-off (PTO),
severance, and bonus pay if not reported in column 1.
NOTE: Bonus pay includes award pay and vacation, holiday, and sick pay conversion (pay in lieu of
time off).
NOTE: Capital related salaries, hours, and wage-related costs associated with lines 1 and 2 of
Worksheet A must not be included on Worksheet S-3, Parts II and III.
40-58 Rev. 1
12-10 FORM CMS-2552-10 4005.2 (Cont.)
NOTE: Methodology for including vacation/sick/other PTO accruals in the wage index:
PTO salary cost--The required source for costs on Worksheet A is the General Ledger (see
Provider Reimbursement Manual, Part II, section 4013 and 42 CFR 413.24(e)). Worksheet
S-3, Part II (wage index) data are derived from Worksheet A; therefore, the proper source for
costs for the wage index is also the General Ledger. A hospital’s current year General
Ledger includes both costs that are paid during the current year and costs that are expensed in
the current year but paid in the subsequent year (current year accruals). Hospitals and
contractors are to include on Worksheet S-3, Part II the current year PTO cost incurred as
reflected on the General Ledger; that is, both the current year PTO cost paid and the current
year PTO accrual. (Costs that are expensed in the prior year but paid in the current year
(prior year accruals) are not included on a hospital’s current year General Ledger and should
not be included on the hospital's current year Worksheet S-3, Part II.)
PTO hours--The source for PTO paid hours on Worksheet S-3, Part II is the Payroll Report.
Hours are included on the Payroll Report in the period in which the associated PTO expense
is paid. Hospitals and contractors are to include on Worksheet S-3, Part II the PTO hours
that are reflected on the current year Payroll Report, which includes hours associated with
PTO cost that was expensed in the prior year but paid in the current year. The time period
must cover the weeks that best matches the provider’s cost reporting period. (Hours
associated with PTO cost expensed in the current year but not paid until the subsequent year
(current year PTO accrual) are not included on the current year Payroll Report and should not
be included on the hospital’s current year Worksheet S-3, Part II.)
Although this methodology does not provide a perfect match between paid PTO cost and
paid PTO hours for a given year, it should approximate an actual match between cost and
hours. Over time, any variances should be minimum.
Lines 2 through 10--The amounts to be reported must be adjusted for vacation, holiday, sick, other
paid time off, severance, and bonus pay if not already included. Do not include in lines 2 through 7
the salaries for employees associated with excluded areas lines 9 and 10.
Line 2--Enter the salaries for directly-employed Part A non-physician anesthetist salaries (for rural
hospitals that have been granted CRNA pass through) to the extent these salaries are included in line
1. Add to this amount the costs for CRNA Part A services furnished under contract to the extent
hours can be accurately determined. Report only the personnel costs associated with these contracts.
DO NOT include cost for equipment, supplies, travel expenses, and other miscellaneous or overhead
items. DO NOT include costs applicable to excluded areas reported on lines 9 and 10. Additionally,
contract CRNA cost must be included on line 11. Report in column 5 the hours that are associated
with the costs in column 4 for directly employed and contract Part A CRNAs.
Do not include physician assistants, clinical nurse specialists, nurse practitioners, and nurse
midwives.
Line 3--Enter the non-physician anesthetist salaries included in line 1, subject to the fee schedule and
paid under Part B by the contractor. Do not include salary costs for physician assistants, clinical
nurse specialists, nurse practitioners, and nurse midwives.
Line 4--Enter the physician Part A salaries, (excluding teaching physician salaries), which are
included in line 1. Also do not include intern and resident (I & R) salary on this line. Report I & R
salary on line 7.

Lines 5 and 6--Enter the total physician, physician assistant, nurse practitioner and clinical nurse
specialist salaries billed under Part B that are included in line 1. Under Medicare, these services are
related to patient care and billed separately under Part B. Also include physician salaries for patient
care services reported for rural health clinics and Federally qualified health clinics included on
Worksheet A, column 1, lines 88 and/or 89 as applicable. Report on line 6 the non-physician salaries
reported for Hospital-based RHC and FQHC services included on Worksheet A, column 1, lines 88
and/or 89 as applicable.
Line 7--Enter from Worksheet A the salaries reported in column 1 of line 21 for interns and
residents. Add to this amount the costs for intern and resident services furnished under contract.
Report only the personnel costs associated with these contracts. DO NOT include cost for
equipment, supplies, travel expenses, and other miscellaneous or overhead items. DO NOT include
costs applicable to excluded areas reported on lines 9 and 10. Additionally, contract intern and
resident costs must be included on line 11. DO NOT include contract intern and residents costs on
line 13. Report in column 5 the hours that are associated with the costs in column 4 for directly
employed and contract interns and residents.
Line 8--If you are a member of a chain or other related organization as defined in CMS Pub 15-1,
§2150, enter, from your records, the wages and salaries for home office related organization
personnel that are included in line 1.
Lines 9 and 10--Enter on line 9 the amount reported on Worksheet A, column 1 for line 44 for the

45.01, 46, 94, 95, 98 through 101, 105 through 112, 114, 115 through 117, and 190 through 194.
DO NOT include on lines 9 and 10 any salaries for general service personnel (e.g., housekeeping)
which, on Worksheet A, Column 1, may have been included directly in the SNF and the other cost
centers detailed in the instructions for Line 10.
Line 11--Enter the amount paid for services furnished under contract, rather than by employees, for
direct patient care, and top level management services as defined below. DO NOT include cost for
equipment, supplies, travel expenses, and other miscellaneous or overhead items (non-labor costs).
Do not include costs applicable to excluded areas reported on line 9 and 10. Include costs for
contract CRNA and intern and resident services (these costs are also to be reported on lines 2 and 7
respectively). Include on this line contract pharmacy and laboratory wage costs as defined below.
In general, for contract labor, the minimum requirement for supporting documentation is the contract
itself. If the wage costs, hours, and non-labor costs are not clearly specified in the contract, then
other documentation are necessary, such as a representative sample of invoices which specify the
wage costs, hours, and non-labor costs or a signed declaration from the vendor in conjunction with a
sample of invoices. Hospitals must be able to provide such documentation when requested by the
contractor or Medicare administrative contractor. A hospital’s failure to provide adequate supporting
documentation may result in the cost being disallowed for the wage index.
Direct patient care services include nursing, diagnostic, therapeutic, and rehabilitative services.
Report only personnel costs associated with these contracts. DO NOT apply the guidelines for
contracted therapy services under §1861(v)(5) of the Act and 42 CFR 413.106. Eliminate all
supplies, travel expenses, and other miscellaneous items. Direct patient care contracted labor, for
purposes of this worksheet, DOES NOT include the following: services paid under Part B: (e.g.,
physician clinical services, physician assistant services), management and consultant contracts,
billing services, legal and accounting services, clinical psychologist and clinical social worker
services, housekeeping services, security personnel, planning contracts, independent financial audits,
or any other service not directly related to patient care.

Line 13--Enter from your records the amount paid under contract (as defined on line 11) for Part A
physician services, excluding teaching physician services. Also include Part A teaching physicians
under contract on this line. DO NOT include contract I & R services (to be included on line 7). DO
NOT include the costs for Part A physician services from the home office allocation and/or from
related organizations (to be reported on line 15). Also, DO NOT include Part A physician contracts
for any of the management positions reported on line 11.
Line 14--Enter the salaries and wage-related costs (as defined on lines 17 and 18) paid to personnel
who are affiliated with a home office and/or related organization, who provide services to the
hospital, and whose salaries are not included on Worksheet A, column 1. In addition, add the home
office/related organization salaries included on line 8 and the associated wage-related costs. This
figure must be based on recognized methods of allocating an individual's home office/related
organization salary to the hospital. If no home office/related organization exists or if you cannot
accurately determine the hours associated with the home office/related organization salaries that are
allocated to the hospital, then enter a zero in column 1. All costs for any related organization must
be shown as the cost to the related organization.
NOTE: Do not include any costs for Part A physician services from the home office allocation
and/or related organizations. These amounts are reported on line 15.
If a wage related cost associated with the home office is not “core” (as described in the
Worksheet S-3, Part IV) and is not a category included in “other” wage related costs on
line 18 (see Worksheet S-3, Part IV and line 18 instructions below), the cost cannot be
included on line 14. For example, if a hospital’s employee parking cost does not meet the
criteria for inclusion as a wage-related cost on line 18, any parking cost associated with
home office staff cannot be included on line 14.
Line 15--Enter from your records the salaries and wage-related costs for Part A physician services,
excluding teaching physician Part A services from the home office allocation and/or related
organizations. Subscript this line and report separately on line 16 the salaries and wage-related costs
for Part A teaching physicians from the home office allocation and/or related organizations.
Lines 17 through 25--In general, the amount reported for wage-related costs must meet the
“reasonable cost” provisions of Medicare. For example, in developing pension and deferred
compensation costs, hospitals must comply with the requirements in 42 CFR 413.100 and the Pub.
15-1, §§ 2140, 2141 and 2142 (see discussion in 73 FR, page 48581, dated August 19, 2008).
For those wage-related costs that are not covered by Medicare reasonable cost principles, a hospital
shall use generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). For example, for purposes of the wage
index, disability insurance cost should be developed using GAAP. Hospital are required to complete
Worksheet S-3, Part IV, a reconciliation worksheet to aid hospital and contractors in implementing
GAAP when developing wage-related costs. Upon request by the contractor or CMS, hospitals must
provide a copy of the GAAP pronouncement, or other documentation, showing that the reporting
practice is widely accepted in the hospital industry and/or related field as support for the
methodology used to develop the wage-related costs. If a hospital does not complete Worksheet S-3,
Part IV, or, the hospital is unable, when requested, to provide a copy of the standard used in
developing the wage-related costs, the contractor may remove the cost from the hospital’s Worksheet
S-3 due to insufficient documentation to substantiate the wage-related cost relevant to GAAP.
NOTE: All costs for any related organization must be shown as the cost to the related
organization. (For Medicare cost reporting principles, see Pub. 15 15-1, §1000. For
GAAP, see FASB 57.) If a hospital’s consolidation methodology is not in accordance
with GAAP or if there are any amounts in the methodology that cannot be verified by the
contractor, the contractor may apply the hospital’s cost to charge ratio to reduce the related
party expenses to cost.

Health Insurance and Health-Related Wage Related Costs:
Hospitals and contractors are not required to remove from domestic claims costs the personnel costs
associated with hospital staff who deliver services to employees. Additionally, health related costs,
that is, costs for employee physicals and inpatient and outpatient services that are not covered by
health insurance but provided to employees at no cost or at a discount, are to be included as a core
wage related cost.
Line 18--Enter the wage-related costs that are considered an exception to the core list. (See note
below for costs that are not to be included on line 18.) In order for a wage-related cost to be
considered an exception, it must meet all of the following tests:
a. The cost is not listed on Worksheet S-3, Part IV,
b. The wage-related cost has not been furnished for the convenience of the provider,
c. The wage-related cost is a fringe benefit as defined by the Internal Revenue Service and,
where required, has been reported as wages to IRS (e.g., the unrecovered cost of employee
meals, education costs, auto allowances), and
d. The total cost of the particular wage-related cost for employees whose services are paid
under IPPS exceeds 1 percent of total salaries after the direct excluded salaries are
removed (Worksheet S-3, Part III, column 4, line 3). Wage-related cost exceptions to the
core list are not to include those wage-related costs that are required to be reported to the
Internal Revenue Service as salary or wages (i.e., loan forgiveness, sick pay accruals).
Include these costs in total salaries reported on line 1 of this worksheet.
NOTE: Do not include wage-related costs applicable to the excluded areas reported on lines 9 and

appropriate cost center identified on lines 26 through 43, respectively, increased by the amounts paid
for vacation, holiday, sick, and PTO if not reported in column 1 of these lines. These lines provide
for the collection of hospital wage data for overhead costs to properly allocate the salary portion of
the overhead costs to the appropriate service areas for excluded units. These lines are completed by
all hospitals if the ratio of Part II, column 5, sum of lines 9 and 10 divided by the result of column 5,
line 1 minus the sum of lines 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, and 8 equals or exceeds a threshold of 15 percent.
However, all hospitals with a ratio greater than 5 percent must complete line 7 of Part III for all
columns. Calculate the percent to two decimal places for purposes of rounding.
Lines 28, 33, and 35--Enter the amount paid for services performed under contract, rather than by
employees, for administrative and general, housekeeping, and dietary services, respectively. DO
NOT include costs for equipment, supplies, travel expenses, and other miscellaneous or overhead
items. Report only personnel costs associated with these contracts. Continue to report on the
standard lines (line 27, 32, and 34), the amounts paid for services rendered by employees not under
contract.

For Part II, lines 1 through 15 (including subscripts), lines 26 through 43 (including subscripts), and
Part III, line 7, if the hours cannot be determined, then the associated salaries must not be included in
columns 2 through 4.
NOTE: The hours must reflect any change reported in column 3; For employees who work a
regular work schedule, on call hours are not to be included in the total paid hours (on call
hours should only relate to hours associated to a regular work schedule; overtime hours are
calculated as one hour when an employee is paid time and a half. No hours are required
for bonus pay. The intern and resident hours associated with the salaries reported on line 6
must be based on 2080 hours per year for each full time intern and resident employee. The
hours reported for salaried employees who are paid a fixed rate are recorded as 40 hours
per week or the number of hours in your standard work week.
NOTE: For workers who are contracted solely for the purpose of providing services on-call, the
wages and associated hours must be included on the appropriate contract labor line on

list of all core wage related costs included in Part II (section 4005.2), lines 17 and 19 through 25.
This worksheet provides for the identification of such costs.
The hospital must determine whether each wage related cost “other than core”, reported on line 25,
exceeds one (1) percent of the total adjusted salaries net of excludable salaries and meets all of the
following criteria:
• The costs are not listed on lines 1 through 23, “Wage Related Costs Core”
• If any of the additional wage related cost applies to the excluded areas of the hospital, the
cost associated with the excluded areas has been removed prior to making the 1 percent
threshold test.
• The wage related cost has been reported to the IRS, as a fringe benefit if so required by the
IRS.
• The individual wage related cost is not included in salaries reported on Worksheet S-3, Part
II, Column 3, Line 17.
• The wage related cost is not being furnished for the convenience of the employer.
For wage related costs not covered by Medicare reasonable cost principles, a hospital shall

DATA
In accordance with 42 CFR 413.20(a), 42 CFR 413.24(a), and 42 CFR 413.24(c), you are required to
maintain statistical records for proper determination of costs payable under titles V, XVIII, and XIX.
The statistics required on this worksheet pertain to a hospital-based home health agency. The data
maintained is dependent upon the services provided by the agency, number of program home health
aide hours, total agency home health aide hours, program unduplicated census count, and total
unduplicated census count. In addition, FTE data are required by employee staff, contracted staff,
and total. Complete a separate S-4 for each hospital-based home health agency.
Line 1--Enter the number of hours applicable to home health aide services.
Line 2--Enter the unduplicated count of all individual patients and title XVIII patients receiving
home visits or other care provided by employees of the agency or under contracted services during
the reporting period. Count each individual only once. However, because a patient may be covered
under more than one health insurance program, the total census count (column 5, line 2) may not
equal the sum of columns 1 through 4, line 2. For purposes of calculating the unduplicated census, if
a beneficiary has received healthcare in more than one CBSA, you must prorate the count of that
beneficiary so as not to exceed a total of (1). A provider is to also query the beneficiary to determine
if he or she has received healthcare from another provider during the year, e.g., Maine versus Florida
for beneficiaries with seasonal residence.
Lines 3 through 18--Lines 3 through 18 provide statistical data related to the human resources of the
HHA. The human resources statistics are required for each of the job categories specified in lines 3
through 18.
Enter the number of hours in your normal work week.
Report in column 1 the full time equivalent (FTE) employees on the HHA’s payroll. These are staff
for which an IRS Form W-2 is used.
Report in column 2 the FTE contracted and consultant staff of the HHA.
Compute staff FTEs for column 1 as follows. Add all hours for which employees were paid and
divide by 2080 hours. Round to two decimal places, e.g., .04447 is rounded to .04. Compute
contract FTEs for column 2 as follows. Add all hours for which contracted and consultant staff
worked and divide by 2080 hours.
If employees are paid for unused vacation, unused sick leave, etc., exclude these paid hours from the
numerator in the calculations.
Line 19--Enter in column 1 the number of CBSAs that you serviced during this cost reporting period.
Line 20
--Identify each CBSA where the reported HHA visits are performed by entering the 5 digit
CBSA code and Non-CBSA (rural) code as applicable. Subscript the lines to accommodate the
number of CBSAs you service. Rural CBSA codes are assembled by placing the digits “999” in
front of the two digit State code, e.g., for the State of Maryland the rural CBSA code is 99921.
PPS Activity Data
--Applicable for Medicare Services.
In accordance with 42 CFR §413.20 and §1895 of the Social Security Act, home health agencies
transitioned from a cost based reimbursement system to a prospective payment system (PPS)
effective for home health services rendered on or after October 1, 2000.

12-10 FORM CMS-2552-10 4006 (Cont.)
The statistics required on this worksheet pertain to home health services furnished on or after
October 1, 2000. The data to be maintained, depending on the services provided by the agency,
includes the number of aggregate program visits furnished in each episode of care payment category
for each covered discipline, the corresponding aggregate program charges imposed in each episode
of care payment category for each covered discipline, total visits and total charges for each episode
of care payment category, total number of episodes and total number of outlier episodes for each
episode of care payment category, and total medical supply charges for each episode of care payment
category.
HHA Visits--See Pub. 15-2, chapter 32, §3205, page 32-13 for the definition of an HHA visit.
Episode of Care
--Under home health PPS the 60 day episode is the basic unit of payment where the
episode payment is specific to one individual beneficiary. Beneficiaries are covered for an unlimited
number of non-overlapping episodes. The duration of a full length episode will be 60 days. An
episode begins with the start of care date and must end by the 60th day from the start of care.
Less than a full Episode of Care
--When 4 or fewer visits are provided by the HHA in a 60 day
episode period, the result is a low utilization payment adjustment (LUPA). In this instance the HHA
will be reimbursed based on a standardized per visit payment.
An episode may end before the 60th day in the case of a beneficiary elected transfer, or a discharge
and readmission to the same HHA (including for an intervening inpatient stay). This type of situation
results in a partial episode payment (PEP) adjustment.
Use lines 21 through 32 to identify the number of visits and the corresponding visit charges for each
discipline for each episode payment category. Lines 33 and 35 identify the total number of visits and
the total corresponding charges, respectively, for each episode payment category. Line 36 identifies
the total number of episodes completed for each episode payment category. Line 37 identifies the
total number of outlier episodes completed for each episode payment category. Outlier episodes do
not apply to 1) Full Episodes without Outliers and 2) LUPA Episodes. Line 38 identifies the total
medical supply charges incurred for each episode payment category. Column 5 displays the sum
total of data for columns 1 through 4. The statistics and data required on this worksheet are obtained
from the provider statistical and reimbursement (PS&R) report.
When an episode of care is initiated in one fiscal year and concludes in the subsequent fiscal year, all
statistical data (i.e., cost, charges, counts, etc…) associated with that episode of care will appear on
the PS&R of the fiscal year in which the episode of care is concluded. Similarly, all data required in
the cost report for a given fiscal year must only be associated with services rendered during episodes
of care that conclude during the fiscal year. Title XVIII visits reported on this worksheet will not
agree with the title XVIII visits reported on Worksheet H-3, sum of columns 2 and 3, line 14.
Columns 1 through 4--Enter data pertaining to title XVIII patients only. Enter, as applicable, in the
appropriate columns 1 through 4, lines 21 through 32, the number of aggregate program visits
furnished in each episode of care payment category for each covered discipline and the
corresponding aggregate program visit charges imposed for each covered discipline for each episode
of care payment category. The visit counts and corresponding charge data are mutually exclusive for
all episode of care payment categories. For example, visit counts and the corresponding charges that
appear in column 4 (PEP only Episodes) will not include any visit counts and corresponding charges
that appear in column 3 (LUPA Episodes) and vice versa. This is true for all episode of care
payment categories in columns 1 through 4.

In accordance with 42 CFR 418.310 hospice providers of service participating in the Medicare
program are required to submit annual information for health care services rendered to Medicare
beneficiaries. Also, 42 CFR 418.20 requires cost reports from providers on an annual basis. The
data submitted on the cost reports supports management of Federal programs. The statistics required
on this worksheet pertain to a hospital-based hospice. Complete a separate Worksheet S-9 for each
hospital-based hospice.
4011.1 Part I - Enrollment Days.--
NOTE: Columns 1 and 2 contain the days identified in column 3 and 4. Column 3 and 4 identify
the SNF and NF days out of the total for title XVIII and XIX.
Lines 1-4--Enter on lines 1 through 4 the enrollment days applicable to each type of care. Enrollment
days are unduplicated days of care received by a hospice patient. A day is recorded for each day a
hospice patient receives one of four types of care. Where a patient moves from one type of care to
another, count only one day of care for that patient for the last type of care rendered. For line 4, an
inpatient care day should be reported only where the hospice provides or arranges to provide the
inpatient care.
Line 5--Enter the total of columns 1 through 6 for lines 1 through 4.
For the purposes of the Medicare and Medicaid hospice programs, a patient electing hospice can
receive only one of the following four types of care per day:
Continuous Home Care Day - A continuous home care day is a day on which the hospice patient is
not in an inpatient facility. A day consists of a minimum of 8 hours and a maximum of 24 hours of
predominantly nursing care. Note: Convert continuous home care hours into days so that a true
accountability can be made of days provided by the hospice.
Routine Home Care Day - A routine home care day is a day on which the hospice patient is at home
and not receiving continuous home care.
Inpatient Respite Care Day - An inpatient respite care day is a day on which the hospice patient
receives care in an inpatient facility for respite care.
General Inpatient Care Day - A general inpatient care day is a day on which the hospice patient
receives care in an inpatient facility for pain control or acute or chronic symptom management which
cannot be managed in other settings.
COLUMN DESCRIPTIONS
Column 1--Enter only the unduplicated Medicare days applicable to the four types of care. Enter on

Medicare or Medicaid hospice patients. Enter on line 5 the total unduplicated days.
Column 6--Enter the total days for each type of care, (i.e., sum of columns 1, 2 and 5). The amount
entered in column 6, line 5 should represent the total days provided by the hospice.
NOTE: Convert continuous home care hours into days so that column 6 line 8 reflects the actual
total number of days provided by the hospice.
4011.2 Part II - Census Data.--
NOTE: Columns 1 and 2 contain the days identified in columns 3 and 4. Columns 3 and 4
identify the SNF and NF days out of the total for title XVIII and XIX.
Line 6--Enter the total number of patients receiving hospice care within the cost reporting period for
the appropriate payer source.
The total under this line should equal the actual number of patients served during the cost reporting
period for each program. Thus, if a patient’s total stay overlapped two reporting periods, the stay
should be counted once in each reporting period. The patient who initially elects the hospice benefit,
is discharged or revokes the benefit, and then elects the benefit again within a reporting period is
considered to be a new admission with a new election and should be counted twice.
A patient transferring from another hospice is considered to be a new admission and would be
included in the count. If a patient entered a hospice under a payer source other than Medicare and
then subsequently elects Medicare hospice benefit, count the patient once for each pay source.
The difference between line 6 and line 9 is that line 6 should equal the actual number of patients
served during the reporting period for each program, whereas under line 9, patients are counted once,
even if their stay overlaps more than one reporting period.
Line 7--Enter the total title XVIII Unduplicated Continuous Care hours billable to Medicare. When
computing the Unduplicated Continuous Care hours, count only one hour regardless of number of
services or therapies provided simultaneously within that hour.
Line 8--Enter the average length of stay for the reporting period. Include only the days for which a
hospice election was in effect. The average length of stay for patients with a payer source other than
Medicare and Medicaid is not limited to the number of days under a hospice election. Line 5 divided
by Line 6.
The statistics for a patient who had periods of stay with the hospice under more than one program is
included in the respective columns. For example, patient A enters the hospice under Medicare
hospice benefit, stays 90 days, revokes the election for 70 days (and thus goes back into regular
Medicare coverage), then reelects the Medicare hospice benefits for an additional 45 days, under a
new benefit period and dies (patient B).
Medicare patient C was in the program on the first day of the year and died on January 29 for a total
length of stay of 29 days. Patient D was admitted with private insurance for 27 days, then their
private insurance ended and Medicaid covered an additional 92 days. Patient E, with private
insurance, received hospice care for 87 days. The average length of stay (LOS) (assuming these are
the only patients the hospice served during the cost reporting period) is computed as follow:

Average LOS for all patients 61.67 Days
Enter the hospice’s average length of stay, without regard to payer source, in column 6, line 8.
Line 9--Enter the unduplicated census count of the hospice for all patients initially admitted and
filing an election statement with the hospice within a reporting period for the appropriate payer
source. Do not include the number of patients receiving care under subsequent election periods (See
CMS Pub. 21 204). However, the patient who initially elects the hospice benefit, is discharged or
revokes the benefits, and elects the benefit again within the reporting period is considered a new
admission with each new election and should be counted twice.
The total under this line should equal the unduplicated number of patients served during the
reporting period for each program. Thus, you would not include a patient if their stay was counted in
a previous cost reporting period. If a patient enters a hospice source other than Medicare and
subsequently becomes eligible for Medicare and elects the Medicare hospice benefit, then count that
patient only once in the Medicare column, even though he/she may have had a period in another
payer source prior to the Medicare election. A patient transferring from another hospice is
considered to be a new admission and is included in the count.

Balanced Budget Refinement Act (BBRA) requires that short-term acute care hospitals (§1886(d) of
the Act) submit cost reports containing data on the cost incurred by the hospital for providing
inpatient and outpatient hospital services for which the hospital is not compensated. Charity care
charge data, as referenced in section 4102 of American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009,
may be used to calculate the EHR technology incentive payments made to §1886(d) hospitals and
critical access hospitals (CAHs). CAHs, as well as §1886(d) hospitals, will be required to complete
this worksheet. Note that this worksheet does not produce the estimate of the cost of treating
uninsured patients required for disproportionate share payments under the Medicaid program.
Definitions:
Uncompensated care--Defined as charity care and bad debt which includes non-Medicare bad debt
and non-reimbursable Medicare bad debt. Uncompensated care does not include courtesy
allowances or discounts given to patients.
Charity care--Health services for which a hospital demonstrates that the patient is unable to pay.
Charity care results from a hospital's policy to provide all or a portion of services free of charge to
patients who meet certain financial criteria. For Medicare purposes, charity care is not reimbursable
and unpaid amounts associated with charity care are not considered as an allowable Medicare bad
debt. (Additional guidance provided in the instruction for line 20.)
Non-Medicare bad debt--Health services for which a hospital determines the non-Medicare patient
has the financial capacity to pay, but the non-Medicare patient is unwilling to settle the claim.
(Additional guidance provided in the instruction for line 25.)
Non-reimbursable Medicare bad debt--The amount of allowable Medicare coinsurance and
deductibles considered to be uncollectible but are not reimbursed by Medicare under the
requirements of §413.89 of the regulations and of Chapter 3 of the Provider Reimbursement Manual
Part 1. (Additional guidance provided in the instruction for line 25.)
Net revenue--Actual payments received or expected to be received from a payer (including co-
insurance payments from the patient) for services delivered during this cost reporting period. Net
revenue will typically be charges (gross revenue) less contractual allowance. (Applies to lines 2, 9,
and 13.)
Instructions:
Cost to charge ratio:
Line 1--Enter the of cost-to-charge ratio resulting from Worksheet C, Part I, line 200, column 3
divided by Worksheet C, Part I, line 200, column 8.

NOTE: The amount on line 18 should not include the amounts on lines 2 and 5. That is, the
amounts on lines 2 and 5 are mutually exclusive from the amount on line 18.
Line 2--Enter the inpatient and outpatient payments received or expected for Title XIX covered
services delivered during this cost reporting period. Include payments for an expansion SCHIP
program, which covers recipients who would have been eligible for coverage under Title XIX.
Include payments for all covered services except physician or other professional services, and
include payments received from Medicaid managed care programs. If not separately identifiable,
disproportionate share (DSH) and supplemental payments should be included in this line. For these
payments, report the amount received or expected for the cost reporting period, net of associated
provider taxes or assessments.

patient’s total charges. For patients covered by a public program or private insurer with which the
provider has a contractual relationship (column 2), these are the deductible and coinsurance
payments required by the payer. Include charity care for all services except physician and other
professional services. Do not include charges for either uninsured patients given discounts without
meeting the hospital's charity care criteria or patients given courtesy discounts. Charges for non-
covered services provided to patients eligible for Medicaid or other indigent care program (including
charges for days exceeding a length of stay limit) can be included, if such inclusion is specified in the
hospital's charity care policy and the patient meets the hospital's charity care criteria.

4013. WORKSHEET A - RECLASSIFICATION AND ADJUSTMENT OF TRIAL BALANCE
OF EXPENSES
In accordance with 42 CFR 413.20, the methods of determining costs payable under title XVIII
involve using data available from the institution's basic accounts, as usually maintained, to arrive at
equitable and proper payment for services. Worksheet A provides for recording the trial balance of
expense accounts from your accounting books and records. It also provides for the necessary
reclassifications and adjustments to certain accounts. The cost centers on this worksheet are listed in
a manner which facilitates the transfer of the various cost center data to the cost finding worksheets
(e.g., on Worksheets A, B, C, and D, the line numbers are consistent). While providers are expected
to maintain their accounting books and general ledger in a manner consistent with the standard cost
centers/departments identified on this worksheet, not all of the cost centers listed apply to all
providers using these forms. For example, IPPS providers may contain a Burn Intensive Care Unit,
where CAHs may not furnish this type of service.
Do not include on this worksheet items not claimed in the cost report because they conflict with the
regulations, manuals, or instructions but which you wish nevertheless to claim and contest. Enter
amounts on the appropriate settlement worksheet (Worksheet E, Part A, line 75; Worksheet E, Part
B, line 44; Worksheet E-2, line 23; and Worksheet E-3, Parts I, II, III, IV, V, VI, and VII lines 22, 35,
36, 26, 34, 19, and 36, respectively). For provider based-facilities enter the protested amounts on
line 35 of Worksheet H-4, Part II for home health agencies; line 30 of Worksheet J-3 for CMHCs;
and line 30 of Worksheet M-3 for RHC/FQHC providers.
If the cost elements of a cost center are separately maintained on your books, maintain a
reconciliation of the costs per the accounting books and records to those on this worksheet. This
reconciliation is subject to review by your contractor.
Standard (i.e., preprinted) CMS line numbers and cost center descriptions cannot be changed. If you
need to use additional or different cost center descriptions, add (subscript) additional lines to the cost
report. Where an added cost center description bears a logical relationship to a standard line
description, the added label must be inserted immediately after the related standard line. The added
line is identified as a numeric subscript of the immediately preceding line. For example, if two lines
are added between lines 7 and 8, identify them as lines 7.01 and 7.02. If additional lines are added
for general service cost centers, add corresponding columns for cost finding.
Also, submit the working trial balance of the facility with the cost report. A working trial balance is
a listing of the balances of the accounts in the general ledger to which adjustments are appended in
supplementary columns and is used as a basic summary for financial statements.
Do not use lines 24 through 29, 47 through 49, 77 through 87, 102 through 104, 119 through 189,
and 195 through 199.
Cost center coding is a methodology for standardizing the meaning of cost center labels as used by
health care providers on the Medicare cost reports. Form CMS-2552-10 provides for preprinted cost
center descriptions on Worksheet A. In addition, a space is provided for a cost center code. The
preprinted cost center labels are automatically coded by CMS approved cost reporting software.
These cost center descriptions are hereafter referred to as the standard cost centers. Additionally,
nonstandard cost center descriptions have been identified through analysis of frequently used labels.
Rev. 1 40-81
4013 (Cont) FORM CMS-2552-10 12-10
The use of this coding methodology allows providers to continue to use labels for cost centers that
have meaning within the individual institution. The five digit cost center codes that are associated
with each provider label in their electronic file provide standardized meaning for data analysis. You
are required to compare any added or changed label to the descriptions offered on the standard or
nonstandard cost center tables. A description of cost center coding and the table of cost center codes
are in §4095, table 5.
Columns 1, 2, and 3--The expenses listed in these columns must be the same as listed in your
accounting books and records and/or trial balance.
List on the appropriate lines in columns 1, 2, and 3 the total expenses incurred during the cost
reporting period. These expenses are detailed between salaries (column 1) and other than salaries
(column 2). The sum of columns 1 and 2 equals the sum of column 3. Record any needed
reclassifications and/or adjustments in columns 4 and 6, as appropriate.
Column 4--With the exception of the reclassification of capital related costs which are reclassified
via Worksheet A-7, all reclassifications in this column are made via Worksheet A-6. Worksheet A-6
need not be completed by all providers and is completed only to the extent that the reclassifications
are needed and appropriate in the particular circumstance. Show reductions to expenses as negative
numbers.
The net total of the entries in column 4 must equal zero on line 200.
Column 5--Adjust the amounts entered in column 3 by the amounts in column 4 (increase or
decrease) and extend the net balances to column 5. Column 5, line 200 must equal column 3, line
200.
Column 6--Enter on the appropriate lines in column 6 the amounts of any adjustments to expenses
indicated on Worksheet A-8, column 2. The total on Worksheet A, column 6, line 200, equals
Worksheet A-8, column 2, line 50.
Column 7--Adjust the amounts in column 5 by the amounts in column 6 (increase or decrease), and
extend the net balances to column 7.
Transfer the amounts in column 7 to the appropriate lines on Worksheet B, Part I, column 0.
Line Descriptions
The trial balance of expenses is broken down into general service, inpatient routine service, ancillary
service, outpatient service, other reimbursable, special purpose, and nonreimbursable cost center
categories to facilitate the transfer of costs to the various worksheets. The line numbers on
Worksheet A are used on subsequent worksheets. The line numbers on Worksheet A are used on
subsequent worksheets, for example, the categories of ancillary service cost centers, outpatient
service cost centers, and other reimbursable cost centers appear on Worksheet C, Part I, using the
same line numbers as on Worksheet A.
NOTE: The category titles do not have line numbers. Only cost centers, data items, and totals
have line numbers.
Lines 1 - 23--These lines are for the General Service cost centers. These costs are expenses incurred
in operating the facility as a whole that are not directly associated with furnishing patient care such
as, but not limited to mortgage, rent, plant operations, administrative salaries, utilities, telephone
charges, computer hardware and software costs, etcetera. General Service cost centers furnish
services to both general service areas and to other cost centers in the provider.

Lines 1 and 2--The capital cost centers on lines 1 and 2 include depreciation, leases and rentals for
the use of facilities and/or equipment, and interest incurred in acquiring land or depreciable assets
used for patient care.
In addition, enter all other capital-related costs, including but not limited to taxes, insurance, and
license and royalty fees on depreciable assets.
NOTE: Do not include in these cost centers costs incurred for the repair or maintenance of
equipment or facilities; amounts specifically included in rentals or lease payments for
repair and/or maintenance agreements; interest expense incurred to borrow working capital
or for any purpose other than the acquisition of land or depreciable assets used for patient
care; general liability insurance or any other form of insurance to provide protection other
than the replacement of depreciable assets; or taxes other than those assessed on the basis
of some valuation of land or depreciable assets used for patient care. However, if no
amount of the lease payment is identified in the lease agreement for maintenance, you are
not required to carve out a portion of the lease payment to represent the maintenance
portion. Thus, the entire lease payment is considered a capital-related cost subject to the
provisions of 42 CFR 413.130(b).
When you are dealing with a related organization, you are essentially dealing with yourself and
Medicare considers the costs to you equal to the cost to the related organization. Therefore, for costs
applicable to services, facilities, and supplies furnished by organizations related by common
ownership or control (see 42 CFR 413.17 and Pub. 15-1, chapter 10), the reimbursable cost includes
the costs for these items at the cost to the supplying organization unless the exception provided in 42
CFR 413.17(d) and CMS Pub. 15-1, §1010 is applicable, not to exceed the price of comparable
services, facilities, or supplies that could be purchased elsewhere in the open market.
The policy of cost incurred from related organizations applies to capital related and non-capital
related costs. If you include costs incurred by a related organization on your cost report, the nature of
the costs (e.g., capital-related or operating costs) do not change. Treat capital-related costs incurred
by the related organization as capital-related costs to you.
If the price of comparable services, facilities, or supplies that could be purchased elsewhere in the
open market is lower than the cost to the supplying related organization; if the exception in CFR
413.17(d) and CMS Pub. 15-1, §1010 applies; or if the supplying organization is not related to you,
then no part of the charge to you is a capital related cost unless the services, facilities, or supplies are
capital-related in nature.
In the case of leased equipment, the fact that the lease or rental is for a depreciable asset is sufficient
for consideration as a capital-related item, but a distinction must be made between the lease of
equipment and the purchase of services. A lease of equipment is considered a capital-related cost
while a purchase of service is considered an operating cost. Generally, for the agreement to be
considered a lease or rental (and therefore a capital-related cost), the agreement must convey to the
provider the possession, use, and enjoyment of the asset. Each agreement must be examined on its
own merits. Factors that would weigh in favor of treating a particular agreement as a lease of
equipment include the following:
• The equipment is operated by personnel employed by the provider or an organization related to
the provider within the meaning of Pub. 15-1, chapter 10.
• The physicians who perform the services with or interpret the tests from the equipment are
associated with the provider.
• The agreement is memorialized in one document rather than in two or more documents (e.g.,
one titled a "Lease Agreement" and one titled a "Service Agreement").
Rev. 1
40-83
4013 (Cont.) FORM CMS-2552-10 12-10
• The document memorializing the agreement is titled a “lease agreement.” If one or more of the
documents memorializing the agreement are titled “Service Agreements,” this indicates a
purchase of services.
• The provider holds the certificate of need (CON) for the services furnished with the equipment.
• The basis for determining the lease payment is units of time and is not volume sensitive (e.g.,
numbers of scans).
• The provider attends to such matters as utilization review, quality assurance, and risk
management for the services involving the equipment.
• The provider schedules the patients for services involving the equipment.
• The provider furnishes any supplies required to be used with the equipment.
• The provider’s access to the equipment is not subject to interruption without notice or
interruption on very short notice.
If the supplying organization is not related to you (see 42 CFR 413.17), no part of the charge to you
is a capital-related cost unless the services, facilities, or supplies are capital-related in nature.
Under certain circumstances, costs associated with minor equipment are considered capital-related
costs. See CMS Pub. 15-1, §106 for three methods of writing off the cost of minor equipment.
Amounts treated as expenses under method (a) are not capital-related costs because they are treated
as operating expenses. Amounts included in expense under method (b) are capital-related costs
because such amounts represent the amortization of the cost of tangible assets over a projected useful
life. Amounts determined under method (c) are capital-related costs because method (c) is a method
of depreciation.
Section 1886(g) of the Act, as implemented by 42 CFR, Part 412, Subpart M, requires that the
reasonable cost-based payment methodology for hospital inpatient capital-related costs be replaced
with an inpatient prospective payment methodology for hospitals paid under IPPS, effective for cost
reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 1991. Hospitals and hospital distinct part units
(IPFs, IRFs, and LTCH) excluded from IPPS pursuant to 42 CFR, Part 412, Subpart B, are paid for
capital-related costs under their respective PPS payment systems. Also, CAHs are reimbursed on a
reasonable cost basis under 42 CFR 413.70.
Lines 1 and 2--Capital costs are defined as all allowable capital-related costs for land and depreciable
assets, with additional recognition of costs for capital-related items and services that are legally
obligated by an enforceable contract (See Pub. 15-1, §2800.) Betterment or improvement costs
related to capital are included in capital assets. (See 42 CFR 412.302.) Capital costs incurred as a
result of extraordinary circumstances are new capital. (See 42 CFR 412.348(e).) Direct assignment
of capital costs must be done in accordance with CMS Pub. 15-1, §§2307 and 2313.
Capital costs include the following:
1. Allowable depreciation on assets based on the useful life guidelines used to determine
depreciation expense in the hospital’s base period, which cannot be subsequently changed.
2. Allowable capital-related interest expense. Except as provided in subsections a through c
below, the amount of allowable capital-related interest expense recognized as capital is limited to the
amount the hospital was legally obligated to pay.
40-84 Rev. 1
12-10 FORM CMS-2552-10 4013 (Cont.)
a. An increase in interest expense is recognized if the increase is due to periodic
fluctuations of rates in variable interest rate loans or to periodic fluctuations of rates at the time of
conversion from a variable rate loan to a fixed rate loan when no other changes in the terms of the
loan are made.
b. If the terms of a debt instrument are revised, the amount of interest recognized
associated with the original capital cannot exceed the amount that would have been recognized
during the same period prior to the revision of the debt instrument.
c. Investment income (excluding income from funded depreciation accounts and other
exclusions from investment income offset cited in CMS Pub. 15-1, §202.2) is used to reduce capital
interest expense based in each cost reporting period.
3. Allowable capital-related lease and rental costs for land and depreciable assets.
a. The cost of lease renewals and the acquisition of assets continuously leased (e.g.,
capitalized leases) are recognized provided that the same asset remains in use, the asset has a useful
life of at least 3 years, and the annual lease payment is $1000 or more for each item or service.
b. If a hospital-owned asset is sold or given to another party and that same asset is then
leased back by the hospital, the amount of allowable capital-related costs recognized as capital costs
is limited to the amount allowed for that asset in the last cost reporting period during which it was
owned by the hospital.
4. The appropriate portion of the capital-related costs of related organizations under 42 CFR
413.17 that would be recognized as capital costs if these costs had been incurred directly by the
hospital.
5. Obligated capital costs recognized as capital costs in accordance with the provisions
discussed in the following paragraph.
If the hospital has a multi-phase capital project, the provisions of this section apply independently to
each phase of the project.
a. Fixed Assets.--The costs of capital-related items and services defined in 42
CFR 413ff, Subpart G, for which there was a contractual obligation entered into by a hospital or
related party with an outside, unrelated party for the construction, reconstruction, lease, rental, or
financing of a fixed asset may be recognized as capital costs if all the following conditions are met:
(1) The obligation must arise from an executed binding written agreement that
obligates the hospital in the acquisition of fixed assets;
(2) The capital asset must be put in use for patient care except as provided below;
(3) The hospital notifies the contractor of the existence of obligated capital costs
(see 42 CFR 412.302(c)); and
(4) The amount recognized as capital cost is limited to the lesser of the actual
allowable costs when the asset is put in use or the estimated costs of the capital expenditure at the
time it was obligated.
Rev. 1 40-85
4013 (Cont.) FORM CMS-2552-10 12-10
b. Moveable Equipment.--Moveable equipment is recognized as capital only if all of
conditions (1) through (4) are met and one of conditions (5) or (6) is met:
(1) The obligation must arise from a executed binding written agreement that
obligates the hospital in the acquisition of movable equipment.
(2) The capital asset must be put in use for patient care.
(3) The hospital notifies the contractor of the existence of obligated capital costs.
(See 42 CFR 412.302(c).)
(4) The amount recognized as capital cost is limited to the lesser of the actual
allowable costs when the asset is put in use or the estimated costs of the capital expenditure at the
time it was obligated.
(5) There was a binding contractual agreement for the lease or purchase of the item
of equipment.
(6) There was a binding contractual agreement for financing the acquisition of the
equipment, the item of equipment costs at least $100,000, and the item was specifically listed in an
equipment purchase plan approved by the Board of Directors. The amount recognized as capital
costs cannot exceed the estimated cost identified in the equipment purchase plan approved by the
hospital’s Board of Directors.
c. Lengthy Certificate of Need Process.--If a hospital does not meet the criteria under the
fixed asset or moveable equipment provisions above but meets all of the following criteria, the
estimated cost for the project may be recognized as capital costs.
(1) The hospital is required under State law to obtain preapproval of the capital
project or acquisition by a designated State or local planning authority in the State in which it is
located;
(2) The hospital filed an initial application for a certificate of need that includes a
detailed description of the project and its estimated cost and had not received approval or
disapproval;
(3) The hospital expended the lesser of $750,000 or 10 percent of the estimated cost
of the project; and
(4) The hospital put the asset into patient use on or before 4 years from the date the
certificate of need was approved.
d. Construction in Process.--If a hospital that initiates construction on a capital project
does not meet the requirements under the fixed asset, moveable equipment, or lengthy certificate of
need provisions, the project costs may be recognized as capital costs if all the following conditions
are met:
(1) The hospital received any required certificate of need approval;
(2) The hospital’s Board of Directors formally authorized the project with a detailed
description of its scope and costs;
40-86 Rev. 1
12-10 FORM CMS-2552-10 4013 (Cont.)
(3) The estimated cost of the project exceeds 5 percent of the hospital’s total patient
revenues during its base year;
(4) The capitalized cost incurred for the project exceeded the lesser of $750,000 or
10 percent of the estimated project cost;
(5) The hospital began actual construction or renovation (groundbreaking); and
(6) The project is completed on or before the last day of the provider’s cost reporting
period.
e. Planning, Design or Feasibility Agreements.--If these agreements do not commit the
hospital to undertake a project, they are not recognized as obligating capital expenditures.
f. Cost Limitation - Leases, Rentals, or Purchases.--The amount of obligated capital
costs recognized as old capital costs cannot exceed the amount specified in the lease, rental, or
purchase agreement.
g. Cost Limitation - Construction Contracts.--The amount of obligated capital costs
recognized as capital costs cannot exceed the estimated construction costs for the project. Additional
costs are recognized as old capital costs only if the additional costs are directly attributable to
changes in life safety codes or other building requirements established by government ordinance that
became effective after the project was obligated.
h. Cost Limitation - Financing Costs.--The amount of obligated interest expense
recognized as capital costs cannot exceed the amount for which the hospital was legally obligated or,
in the case of financing arranged for a capital acquisition that was legally obligated, the amount
specified in a detailed financing plan approved by the hospital’s Board of Directors.
i. Amount Recognized As Capital Cost.--The actual amount recognized as capital costs
is based on the lesser of the allowable costs for the asset when it is put into patient use or the
amounts determined under the cost limitations above.
The hospital must follow consistent cost finding methods for classifying and allocating capital-
related costs. (See 42 CFR 412.302 (d).)
Unless there is a change of ownership, the hospital must continue the same cost finding methods for
capital costs. This includes its practices for the direct assignment of capital-related costs and its cost
allocation bases in. If there is a change of ownership, the new owners may request that the contractor
approve a change in order to be consistent with their established cost finding practices.
If a hospital desires to change its cost finding method for the direct assignment of capital costs, the
request for change must be made in writing to the contractor prior to the beginning of the cost
reporting period for which the change is to apply. The request must include justification as to why
the change will result in more accurate and more appropriate cost finding. The contractor does not
approve the change unless it determines that there is reasonable justification for the change.
Line 3--In accordance with 42 CFR 412.302(b)(4), enter all other capital-related costs, including but
not limited to taxes, insurance, and license and royalty fees on depreciable assets. This line also
includes any directly allocated home office other capital cost. After reclassifications in column 4 and
adjustments in column 6, the balance in column 7 must equal zero. This line cannot be subscripted.

Line 4--Enter this line incurred employee benefit costs which cannot be placed in the various cost
centers along with the associated salaries.
Line 5--Enter administrative and general (A & G) costs on this line. A&G includes a wide variety of
provider administrative costs such as but not limited to cost of executive staff, legal and accounting
services, facility administrative services (not already included in other general services cost centers),
human resources, etcetera. If this line is componentized into more than one cost center, eliminate
line 5. Componentized A & G lines must begin with subscripted line 5.01 and continue in sequential
and consecutive order except where this manual specifies otherwise.
Line 6--Maintenance and repairs are any activity to maintain the facility and grounds such as, but not
limited to, costs of routine painting, plumbing and electrical repairs, mowing and snow removal.
Line 7--Operation of plant includes the cost such as, but not limited to, the internal hospital
environment including air conditioning (both heating and cooling systems and ventilation) and other
mechanical systems.
Line 8--Laundry and linen services includes the cost of routine laundry and line services whether
performed in-house or by outside contractors.
Line 9--Housekeeping includes the cost of routine housekeeping activities such as mopping,
vacuuming, cleaning restrooms, lobbies, waiting areas and otherwise maintaining patient and non-
patient care areas.
Line 10--Dietary includes the cost of preparing meals for patients.
Line 11--Cafeteria includes the cost of preparing food for provider personnel, physicians working at
the provider, visitors to the provider.
Line 12--Maintenance of personnel includes the cost of room and board furnished to employees.
(see Pub. 15-1, §704.3)
Line 13--Nursing administration normally includes only the cost of nursing administration. The
salary cost of direct nursing services, including the salary cost of nurses who render direct service in
more than one patient care area, is directly assigned to the various patient care cost centers in which
the services were rendered. Direct nursing services include gross salaries and wages of head nurses,
registered nurses, licensed practical and vocational nurses, aides, orderlies, and ward clerks.
However, if your accounting system fails to specifically identify all direct nursing services to the
applicable patient care cost centers, then the salary cost of all direct nursing service is included in
this cost center.
Line 14--Central services and supply includes the costs of supplies and services which are requested
to departments throughout the provider, including medical supplies charged to patients.
Line 15--Pharmacy includes the cost of drugs and pharmacy supplies requested to patient car
departments and drugs charged to patients.
Line 16--Medical records and medical records library includes the direct costs of the medical records
cost center including the medical records library. The general library and the medical library are not
included in this cost center but are reported in the A & G cost center.

12-10 FORM CMS-2552-10 4013 (Cont.)
Line 17--Social service includes the cost of explaining health care resources and policies to patients,
family and professional staff; assistance in planning for post-hospital patient needs; assisting patients
and families receive needed follow-up care by referral to health care resources and providing
advocacy through appropriate organizations.
Line 19--The services of a nonphysician anesthetist generally are paid for by the Part B contractor
based on a fee schedule rather than on reasonable cost basis through the cost report. As such, the
salary and fringe benefit costs included on line 19 generally are not reimbursed through the cost
report.
NOTE: Any costs are included on this line are limited to salary and employee benefit costs.
However, payment for the nonphysician anesthetists on a fee basis may not apply to a qualified rural
hospital or CAH if the facility employed or contracted with not more than one FTE (2080 hours)
nonphysician anesthetist and, if (1) the hospital had 800 or fewer surgical procedures (including
inpatient and outpatient procedures) requiring anesthesia services and (2) each nonphysician
employed by or under contract with the hospital has agreed not to bill under Part B of title XVIII for
professional services furnished. 42 CFR 412.113(c)(2)(i)
Payment under the fee schedule applies to qualified hospitals and CAHs unless the hospital
establishes, before the beginning of each of these years, that it did not exceed 800 surgical
procedures requiring anesthesia in the previous year. 42 CFR 412.113(c)(2)(ii)
Hospitals which do not qualify for the exception and are therefore subject to the fee schedule
payment method must remove the salary and fringe benefit costs from line 19. The total amount is
reported on Worksheet A-8, line 28 and in column 6, line 19 of this worksheet. This removes these
costs from the cost reported in column 7.
Lines 20 and 23--If you operate an approved nursing or allied health education program that meets
the criteria of 42 CFR 413.85 and 412.113(b), both classroom and clinical portions of the costs are
allowable as pass-through costs as defined in 42 CFR 413.85.
Classroom costs are those costs associated with formal, didactic instruction on a specific topic or
subject in a classroom that meets at regular, scheduled intervals over a specific time period (e.g.,
semester or quarter) and for which a student receives a grade.
Clinical training is defined as involving the acquisition and use of the skills of a nursing or allied
health profession or trade in the actual environment in which these skills will be used by the student
upon graduation. While it may involve occasional or periodic meetings to discuss or analyze cases,
critique performance, or discuss specific skills or techniques, it involves no classroom instruction.
If you do not operate the program, the classroom portion of the costs is not allowable as a pass-
through costs and therefore not reported on lines 20 and 23 of the Form CMS-2552-10. Cost may,
however, be allowable as routine service operating cost. (See Pub. 15-1, §404.2.) The clinical
portions of these costs are allowable as pass-through costs if the following conditions as set forth in
42 CFR 413.85 are met:
1. The hospital must have claimed and have been paid for clinical costs (described below)
during its latest cost reporting period that ended on or before October 1, 1989.
Rev. 1 40-89
4013 (Cont.) FORM CMS-2552-10 12-10
2. The proportion of the hospital’s total allowable costs that is attributable to the clinical
training costs of the approved program and allowable under 42 CFR 413.85 during a cost reporting
period does not exceed the proportion of total allowable costs that were attributable to the clinical
training costs during the hospital’s most recent cost reporting period ending on or before October 1,
1989.
3. The hospital receives a benefit for the support it furnishes to the education program
through the provision of clinical services by nursing and allied health students participating in the
program.
4. The clinical training costs must be incurred by the provider or by an educational institution
related to the provider by common ownership or control as defined by 42 CFR 413.17(b) and Pub.
15-1, §1002 (cost to related organizations). Costs incurred by a third party, regardless of its
relationship to either the provider or the educational institution, are not allowed.
5. The costs incurred by the hospital for the program do not exceed the costs that would have
been incurred by the hospital if the program had been operated by the hospital.
Line 20--Enter the cost for the nursing school.
Line 21--Enter the cost of intern and resident salaries and salary-related fringe benefits. Do not
include salary and salary-related fringe benefits applicable to teaching physicians which are included

Line 22--Enter the other costs applicable to interns and residents in an approved teaching program.
Line 23--For this line establish a separate cost center for each paramedical education program (e.g.,
one for medical records or hospital administration). If additional lines are needed, subscript line 23
consecutively and sequentially. If the direct costs are included in the costs of an ancillary cost center,
reclassify them on Worksheet A-6 to line 23. Appropriate statistics are required on Worksheet B-1
to ensure that overhead expenses are properly allocated to this cost center. Identify all other all other
medical education costs on line 23.99. These costs, if present and applicable, may be used on

pathologist.
Line 62--Include the direct expenses incurred in obtaining blood directly from donors as well as
obtaining whole blood and packed red blood cells from suppliers. Do not include in this cost center
the processing fee charged by suppliers. The processing charge is included in the blood storing,

hemophiliacs. (See §4452 of BBA 1997, OBRA 1989 & 1993.)
Line 63--Include the direct expenses incurred for processing, storing, and transfusing whole blood,
packed red blood cells, and blood derivatives. Also include the processing fee charged by suppliers.
Line 71--The cost of medical supplies charged to patients is for low cost medical supplies generally
not traceable to individual patients. Do not include high cost implantable devices on this line. The
cost of this cost center generally is not the direct cost of the cost center, but rather allocated to this
cost center on Worksheet B from cost center 14 (central service and supply) based on the
recommended statistic of costed requisitions. Where providers directly assign costs to this cost
center, such amounts must be reported in this cost center on Worksheet A. (see Pub. 15-1, §2307)
Line 72--Include the expense of implantable devices charged to patients. The types of items
includable on this line are high cost implantable devices that remain in the patient upon discharge
and are chargeable and traceable to individual patients. Do not include low cost medical supplies on
this line. When determining what costs are reported in this cost center, providers should use costs
associated with implantable devices bearing revenue codes identified in the FR, Vol. 73, No. 161,
page 48462, dated August 19, 2008. This amount is generally not input on Worksheet A, but rather
allocated to this cost center on Worksheet B from cost center 14 (central service and supply) based
on the recommended statistic of costed requisitions. Where providers directly assign costs to this
cost center, such amounts must be reported in this cost center on Worksheet A. (see Pub. 15-1,

Line 74--If you furnish renal dialysis treatments, account for such costs by establishing this separate
ancillary service cost center. In accumulating costs applicable to the cost center, include no other
ancillary services even though they are routinely administered during the course of the dialysis
treatment. However, if you physically perform a few minor routine laboratory services associated
with dialysis in the renal dialysis department, such costs remain in the renal dialysis cost center.
Outpatient maintenance dialysis services are reimbursed under the composite rate reimbursement
system. For purposes of determining overhead attributable to the drugs Epoetin and Aranesp,
include the cost of the drug in this cost center. The drug costs will be removed on worksheet B-2
after stepdown.
NOTE: ESRD physician supervisory are not included as your costs under the composite rate
reimbursement system. Supervisory services are included in the physician’s monthly
capitation rate.
Line 75--Enter the cost of ASCs that are not separately certified as a distinct part but which have a
separate surgical suite. Do not include the costs of the ancillary services provided to ASC patients.
Include only the surgical suite costs (i.e., those used in lieu of operating or recovery rooms).
Lines 77 - 87--Reserved for future use.
Lines 88 - 93--Use these lines for outpatient service cost centers.
NOTE: For lines 88 and 89, any ancillary service billed as clinic, RHC, and FQHC services must
be reclassified to the appropriate ancillary cost center, e.g., radiology-diagnostic, PBP
clinical lab services - program only. A similar adjustment must be made to program
charges.

Line 88--Use this line to report the costs of provider-based RHCs. If more than one is maintained,
subscript the line. See Table 5 in §4095 for the proper cost center code for RHCs.
In accordance with CMS Pub. 100-02, chapter 13, §30.4A, compensation paid to a physician for
RHC services rendered in a hospital-based RHC is cost-reimbursed. Where the physician agreement
compensates for RHC services as well as non-RHC services, or services furnished in the hospital, the
related compensation must be eliminated on Worksheet A-8 and billed to the Part B contractor. If
not specified in the agreement, a time study must be used to allocate the physician compensation.
Line 89--Use this line to report the costs of provider-based FQHCs. If more than one is maintained,
subscript the line. See Table 5 in §4095 for the proper cost center code for FQHCs.
In accordance with CMS Pub. 100-02, chapter 13, §30.4A, compensation paid to a physician for
FQHC services rendered in a hospital-based FQHC is cost-reimbursed. Where the physician
agreement compensates for FQHC services as well as non-FQHC services, or services furnished in
the hospital, the related compensation must be eliminated on Worksheet A-8 and billed to the Part B
contractor. If not specified in the agreement, a time study must be used to allocate the physician
compensation.
Line 90--Enter the cost applicable to the clinic not included on lines 88 and 89. If you have two or
more clinics which are separately costed, separately report each such clinic. Subscript this line to
report each clinic. If you do not separately cost each clinic, you may combine the cost of all clinics
on the clinic line.
Line 91--Enter the costs of the emergency room cost center.
Line 92--Do not use this line on this worksheet. If you have an area specifically designated for
observation (e.g., where observation patients are not placed in a general acute care area bed), report
this on a subscripted line 92.01.
NOTE: It is possible to have both a distinct observation bed area and a non-distinct area (for
example, where your distinct part observation bed area is only staffed from 7:00 a.m. -
10:00 p.m. Patients entering your hospital needing observation bed care after 10:00 p.m.
and before 7:00 a.m. are placed in a general inpatient routine care bed). If patients
entering the distinct part observation bed area are charged differently than the patients
placed in the general inpatient routine care bed, separate the costs into distinct observation
bed costs and non-distinct observation bed costs. However, if the charge is the same for
both patients, report all costs and charges as distinct part observation beds.
Line 93--Use this line to report the costs of other outpatient services not previously identified on

Line 94--Use this line to accumulate the direct costs incurred for self-care home dialysis. For
purposes of determining overhead attributable to the drugs Epoetin and Aranesp, include the cost of
the drug in this cost center. The drug costs will be removed on worksheet B-2 after stepdown.
A Medicare beneficiary dialyzing at home has the option to deal directly with the Medicare program
and make individual arrangements for securing the necessary supplies and equipment to dialyze at
home. Under this arrangement, the beneficiary is responsible for dealing directly with the various
suppliers and the Medicare program to arrange for payment. The beneficiary is also responsible to
the suppliers for the deductible and 20 percent Medicare coinsurance requirement. You do not
receive composite rate payment for a patient who chooses this option. However, if you provide any
direct home support services to a beneficiary who selects this option, you are reimbursed on the same
reasonable cost basis for these services as for other outpatient services. These costs are entered on
line 93 and are notated as cost reimbursed. You may service Medicare beneficiaries who elect this
option and others who deal directly with you. In this case, set up two home program dialysis cost
centers (using a subscript for the second cost center) to properly classify costs between the two
categories of beneficiaries (those subject to cost reimbursement and those subject to the composite
rate).
Line 95--Report all ambulance costs on this line for both owned and operated services and services
under arrangement. No subscripting is allowed for this line.
Lines 96 and 97--Use these lines to report durable medical equipment rented or sold, respectively.
Enter the direct expenses incurred in renting or selling durable medical equipment (DME) items to
patients. Also, include all direct expenses incurred by you in requisitioning and issuing DME to
patients.
For a hospital-based SNF, report support surfaces by subscripting line 97 and use the proper cost
center code.
Line 99--This cost center accumulates the direct costs for outpatient rehabilitation providers (CORFs
and OPTs) and CMHCs. However, only CMHCs complete the J series worksheets. If you have
multiple components, subscript this line using the proper cost center code.
Line 100--Use this line if your hospital operates an intern and resident program not approved by
Medicare.
Line 101--This cost center accumulates costs specific to HHA services. If you have more than one
certified hospital-based HHA, subscript line 101 for each HHA.
Provider-based HHAs are operated and managed in a variety of ways within the context of the health
care complexes of which they are components. In some instances, there are discrete management
and administrative functions pertaining to the HHA, the cost of which is readily identifiable from the
books and records.
In other instances, the administration and management of the provider-based HHA is integrated with
the administration and management of the health care complex to such an extent that the cost of
administration and management of the home health agency can be neither identified nor derived from
the books and records of the health care complex. In other instances, the cost of administration and
management of the HHA is integrated with the administration and management of the health care
complex, but the cost of the HHA administration and management can be derived through cost
finding. However, in most cases, even when the cost of HHA administration and management can
be either identified or derived, the extent to which the costs are applicable to the services furnished
by the provider-based HHA is not readily identifiable.
Rev. 1 40-95
4013 (Cont.) FORM CMS-2552-10 12-10
Even when the costs of administration and management of a provider-based HHA can be identified
or derived, such costs do not generally include all of the general service costs (i.e., overhead costs)
applicable to the HHA. Therefore, allocation of general service costs through cost finding is
necessary for the determination of the full costs of the provider-based HHA.
When the provider-based HHA can identify discrete management and administrative costs from its
books and records, these costs are included on line 101.
Similar situations occur for the services furnished by the provider-based HHA. For example, in
some instances, physical therapy services are furnished by a discrete HHA physical therapy
department. In other instances, physical therapy services are furnished to the patient of the provider-
based HHA by an integrated physical therapy department of a hospital health care complex in such a
manner that the direct costs of furnishing the physical therapy services to the patients of the provider-
based HHA cannot be readily identified or derived. In other instances, physical therapy services are
furnished to patients of the provider-based HHA by an integrated physical therapy department of a
hospital health care complex in such a manner that the costs of physical therapy services furnished to
patients of the provider-based HHA can be readily identified or derived.
When you maintain a separate therapy department for the HHA apart from the hospital therapy
department furnishing services to other patients of the hospital health care complex or when you are
able to reclassify costs from an integrated therapy department to an HHA therapy cost center, make a
reclassification entry on Worksheet A-6 to the appropriate HHA therapy cost center. Make a similar
reclassification to the appropriate line for other ancillaries when the HHA costs are readily
identifiable.
NOTE: This cost report provides separate HHA cost centers for all therapy services. If services
are provided to HHA patients from a shared hospital ancillary cost center, make the cost
allocation on Worksheet H-1, Part II.
Lines 102 - 104
--Reserved for future use.
Lines 105 - 116--Use these lines for special purpose cost centers. Special purpose cost centers
include kidney, heart, liver, lung, pancreas, intestinal, and islet acquisition costs as well as costs of
other organ acquisitions which are nonreimbursable but which CMS requires for data purposes, cost
centers which must be reclassified but which require initial identification, and ASC and hospice
costs which are needed for rate setting purposes.
NOTE: Prorate shared acquisition costs (e.g., coordinator salaries, donor awareness programs)
among the type of organ acquisitions. Generally, this is done based on the number of
organs procured. Further, if multiple organs have been procured from a community
hospital or an independent organ procurement organization, prorate the cost among the
type of acquisitions involved.
These cost centers include the cost of services purchased under arrangement or billed directly to the
hospital in connection with the acquisition of organs. Such direct costs include but are not limited
to:
• Fees for physician services (preadmission for transplant donor and recipient tissue-typing and
all tissue-typing services performed on cadaveric donors);
• Cost for organs acquired from other providers or organ procurement organizations;
• Transportation costs of organs;
• Organ recipient registration fees;
40-96 Rev. 1
12-10 FORM CMS-2552-10 4013 (Cont.)
• Surgeons' fees for excising cadaveric donor organs; and
• Tissue-typing services furnished by independent laboratories.
NOTE: No amounts or fees paid to a donor, their estate, heirs, or assigns in exchange for an organ
or for the right to remove or transplant an organ are included in organ acquisition costs.
Also, such amounts or fees are not included in any other revenue producing or general
service cost center.
Only hospitals which are certified transplant centers are reimbursed directly by the
Medicare program for organ acquisition costs. All such costs are accumulated on
Worksheet D-4.
Hospitals which are not certified transplant centers are not reimbursed by the Medicare program for
organ acquisition costs. Such hospitals sell any organs excised to a certified transplant center or an
organ procurement organization. The costs are accumulated in the applicable organ acquisition cost
center and flow through cost finding to properly allocate overhead costs to this cost center.
However, only a certified transplant center completes Worksheet D-4.
Line 105--Record any costs in connection with kidney acquisitions. This cost center flows through

Line 111--Record the costs associated with the acquisition of the pancreas that is used to isolate the
islet cells that are used for transplant. Do not include in this cost any costs associated with the
isolation of the islet cells as these costs will be included as an add-on to the DRG payment. (See CR
5505, dated March 2, 2007).

Line 114--Include only utilization review costs of the hospital-based SNF. All costs are either
reclassified or adjusted in total depending on the scope of the review. If the scope of the review
covers all patients, all allowable costs are reclassified in column 4 to A & G expenses (line 5). If the
scope of the review covers only Medicare patients or Medicare, title V, and title XIX patients, then
(1) in column 4, reclassify to A & G expenses all allowable costs other than physicians'
compensation and (2) deduct in column 6 the compensation paid to the physicians for their personal
services on the utilization review committee. The amount reported on Worksheet E-2, column 1,
line 7 must equal the amount adjusted on Worksheet A-8.
Line 115--Enter the direct costs of an ASC as defined in 42 CFR 416.2. An ASC operated by a
hospital must be a separately identifiable entity, physically, administratively, and financially
independent and distinct from other operations of the hospital. In addition, the ASC must have an
agreement with CMS as required by 42 CFR 416.25. Under this restriction, hospital outpatient
departments providing ambulatory surgery (among other services) are not eligible to be classified as
ASCs. Those ASCs which meet the definition in 42 CFR 416.2 and are currently treated as an
outpatient cost center on the hospital’s Medicare cost report are reimbursed through a prospectively
determined standard overhead amount. For cost reporting purposes, an eligible ASC is treated as a
nonreimbursable cost center to ensure that overhead costs are properly allocated since the cost is not
reimbursable in this cost report.
Line 116--42 CFR Part 418 provides for coverage of hospice care for terminally ill Medicare
beneficiaries who elect to receive care from a participating hospice.
Line 117--Enter other special purpose cost centers not previously identified. Review Table 5 in
§4095 for the proper cost center code.
Lines 119 - 189--Reserved for future use.
Lines 190 - 194--Record the costs applicable to nonreimbursable cost centers to which general
service costs apply. If additional lines are needed for nonreimbursable cost centers other than those
shown, subscript one or more of these lines with a numeric code. The subscripted lines must be
appropriately labeled to indicate the purpose for which they are being used. However, when the
expense (direct and all applicable overhead) attributable to any nonallowable cost area is so
insignificant as not to warrant establishment of a nonreimbursable cost center and the sum total of all
such expenses is so insignificant as not to warrant the establishment of a composite nonreimbursable
cost center, these expenses are adjusted on Worksheet A-8. (See CMS Pub. 15-1, §2328.)
Line 194--Establish a nonreimbursable cost center to accumulate the cost incurred by you for
services related to the physicians’ private practice. Such costs include depreciation costs for the
space occupied, movable equipment used by the physicians’ offices, administrative services, medical
records, housekeeping, maintenance and repairs, operation of plant, drugs, medical supplies, and
nursing services. Do not include costs applicable to services rendered to hospital patients by
hospital-based physicians since such costs may be included in hospital costs.

4014. WORKSHEET A-6 - RECLASSIFICATIONS
This worksheet provides for the reclassification of certain costs to effect proper cost allocation under
cost finding. For each reclassification adjustment, assign an alpha character in column 1 to identify
each reclassification entry, e.g., A, B, C. DO NOT USE NUMERIC DESIGNATIONS. In column
10, indicate the column of Worksheet A-7 impacted by the reclassification. All reclassification
entries must have a corresponding Worksheet A line number reference in columns 3 and 7. If more
than one column is impacted by one reclassification, report each entry as a separate line to properly
report each column impacted on Worksheet A-7. If you directly assign the capital-related costs, i.e.,
insurance, taxes, and other, reclassify these costs to line 3. Do not reclassify other capital-related
costs reported or reclassified to line 3 of Worksheet A back to the other capital lines 1-2 of
Worksheet A. This is accomplished through Worksheet A-7.
Submit with the cost report copies of any workpapers used to compute the reclassifications effected
on this worksheet.
Identify any reclassifications made as salary and other costs in the appropriate column. However,
when transferring to Worksheet A, transfer the sum of the two columns.
If there is any reclassification to general service cost centers for compensation of provider-based
physicians, make the appropriate adjustment for RCE limitation on Worksheet A-8-2. (See §4015.)
Examples of reclassifications that may be needed are:
• Reclassification of related organization rent expenses included in the A & G cost center which
are applicable to lines 1 and 2 of Worksheet A. See instructions for Worksheet A-8-1 for
treatment of rental expenses for related organizations.
• Reclassification of interest expense included on Worksheet A, column 3, line 113, which is
applicable to funds borrowed for A & G purposes (e.g., operating expenses) or for the
purchase of buildings and fixtures or movable equipment. Allocate interest on funds
borrowed for operating expenses with A & G expenses.
• Reclassification of employee benefits expenses (e.g., personnel department, employee health
service, hospitalization insurance, workers compensation, employee group insurance, social
security taxes, unemployment taxes, annuity premiums, past service benefits, and pensions)
included in the A & G cost center.
• Reclassification of utilization review cost applicable to the hospital-based SNF to A & G costs.
If the scope of the utilization review covers the entire population, reclassify the total
allowable utilization review cost included on Worksheet A, column 3, line 114. However, if
the scope of the utilization review in the hospital-based SNF covers only Medicare patients
or Medicare and title XIX patients, only the allowable utilization review costs included on
Worksheet A, column 3, line 114 (other than the compensation of physicians for their
personal services on utilization review committees) are reclassified to A & G costs.
The appropriate adjustment for physicians’ compensation is made on Worksheet A-8. For further
explanations concerning utilization review in skilled nursing facilities, see CMS Pub. 15-1, §2126.2.
• Reclassification of any dietary cost included in the dietary cost center which is applicable to the
cafeteria, nursery, and to any other cost centers such as gift, flower, coffee shops, and
canteen.
• Reclassification of any direct expenses included in the central service and supply cost center
which are directly applicable to other cost centers such as intern-resident service, intravenous
therapy, and oxygen (inhalation) therapy.

• Reclassification of any direct expenses included in the laboratory cost center which are directly
applicable to other cost centers such as whole blood and packed red blood cells or
electrocardiology.
• Reclassification of any direct expenses included in the radiology-diagnostic cost center which
are directly applicable to other cost centers such as radiology-therapeutic, radioisotope, or
electrocardiology.
• When you purchase services (e.g., physical therapy) under arrangements for Medicare patients
but do not purchase such services under arrangements for non-Medicare patients, your books
reflect only the cost of the Medicare services. However, if you do not use the grossing up
technique for purposes of allocating overhead and if you incur related direct costs applicable
to both Medicare and non-Medicare patients (e.g., paramedics or aides who assist a physical
therapist in performing physical therapy services), reclassify the related costs on Worksheet
A-6 from the ancillary service cost center. Allocate them as part of A & G expense.
However, when you purchase services that include performing administrative functions such
as completion of medical records, training, etc. as described in CMS Pub. 15-1, §1412.5, the
overall charge includes the provision of these services. Therefore, for cost reporting
purposes, these related services are NOT reclassified to A & G.
• If a beneficiary receives outpatient renal dialysis for an extended period of time and you furnish
a meal, the cost of this meal is not an allowable cost for Medicare. Make an adjustment on
Worksheet A-8. However, the dietary counseling cost attributable to a dialysis patient is an
allowable cost. Reclassify this cost from the dietary cost center, line 10, to the renal dialysis
cost center, line 74.
• When interns and residents are employed to replace anesthetists, you must reclassify the related
direct costs from the intern and resident cost center to the anesthesiology cost center. (See 42
CFR 413.85(d)(7) and 49 FR 208 dated January 3, 1984.)
NOTE: These interns and residents do not qualify for the indirect medical education adjustment
and must be excluded for the intern and resident FTE for that purpose. (See 42 CFR
412.113(c).)
• If you incur costs for an unpaid guarantee for emergency room physician availability, attach a
separate worksheet showing the computation of the necessary reclassification. (See CMS
Pub. 15-1, §2109.)
• Reclassification of the costs of malpractice insurance premiums, self-insurance fund
contributions, and uninsured malpractice losses incurred either through deductible or
coinsurance provisions, as a result of an award in excess of reasonable coverage limits, or as
a government provider to the A & G cost center.

This worksheet consists of three parts:
Part I - Analysis of Changes in Capital Asset Balances.
Part II - Reconciliation of amounts from worksheet A, column 2, lines 1 and 2.
Part III - Reconciliation of Capital Cost Centers.
See the instructions for Worksheet A for a definition of capital. All providers must complete Parts I,
II, and III.
NOTE: Include assets which are directly allocated to the provider from the home office or related
organization and the related other capital costs in Parts I and II of this worksheet.
The intent of Worksheet A-7, Part I, is to reflect assets which relate to the hospital.
However, examine the cost finding elections made at the time you submit the cost report to
consider the cost finding treatment of SNF, HHA, hospice, subproviders, CORF, CMHC,
the physician office building, and any other nonallowable cost centers.
Where you have elected to cost find any of these areas through the cost report, related
assets must be included in Worksheet A-7, Part I, as appropriate, to properly allocate the
related insurance, taxes, etc. This cost finding treatment must comply with the consistency
rule in 42 CFR 412.302(d).
4015.1 Part I - Analysis of Changes in Capital Asset Balances.--This part enables the Medicare
program to analyze the changes that occurred in your capital asset balances during the current
reporting period. Complete this worksheet only once for the entire hospital complex (certified and
non-certified components). However, only include in Part I assets that relate to hospital services or
are commingled and cannot be separated.
Columns 1 and 6--Enter the balance recorded in your books of accounts at the beginning of your cost
reporting period (column 1) and at the end of your cost reporting period (column 6). You must
submit a reconciliation demonstrating that the sum of Part I, column 6, line 10, agree with the total
fixed assets on Worksheet G, plus any directly allocated assets from the home office or related
organization, less any assets not allocated through the cost finding method on Worksheet B. Include
fully depreciated assets still used for patient care.
Columns 2 - 4--Enter the cost of capital assets acquired by purchase in column 2 and the fair market
value at date acquired of donated assets in column 3. Enter the sum of columns 2 and 3 in column 4.
NOTE: The amounts in Part I, column 2, represent transfers from obligated capital and/or a
transfer of assets from a change of ownership.
Column 5--Enter the cost or other approved basis of all capital assets sold, retired, or disposed of in
any other manner during your cost reporting period.
Column 6--Enter the sum of columns 1 and 4 minus column 5.

Line 9--If you have included in lines 1 through 7 of Part I any of the following, enter those amounts
on line 9.
• Capitalized a lease in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and
included it in the assets reported on Worksheet G,
• Excess of amounts paid for the acquisition of assets over their fair values or the amount
recognized under §2314 of DEFRA for transactions after July 18, 1984, or
• Construction in progress at the end of the cost reporting period.
Line 10--Enter line 8 minus line 9.
4015.2 Part II - Reconciliation of Amounts From Worksheet A, Column 2, Lines 1 and 2.--The
purpose of this worksheet is to segregate and specifically identify the depreciation and capital related
costs which are directly assigned to Worksheet A, column 2, lines 1 and 2.
Columns 9 - 14--Enter in columns 9 through 14, the depreciation and other capital related costs. (Do
not report in columns 12 through 14 any amounts previously reported in Part III, columns 5 through
7). The sum of columns 9 through 14 of this part, which is reported in column 15, lines 1 through 4
must agree with the amounts reported on Worksheet A, column 2, lines 1 and 2.
4015.3 Part III - Reconciliation of Capital Cost Centers.--Use this part to allocate allowable
insurance, taxes, and other capital expenditures (not including depreciation, lease, and interest
expense) to the capital-related cost centers. This part also summarizes the amounts in the capital-
related cost centers on Worksheet A, lines 1 and 2, column 7.
Lines 1 and 2--The allowable costs for other capital-related expenses (including but not limited to
taxes, insurance, and license and royalty fees on depreciable assets) are apportioned by applying the
ratio of the hospital's capital related building and fixtures and capital related movable equipment
gross asset value to total asset value in each cost reporting period. These lines compute the
appropriate gross asset ratios used in allocating other capital-related costs in columns 5 through 7.
Line 3--Enter the sum of lines 1 and 2. Column 4 must equal 1.000000.
Columns 1 - 4, Lines 1 and 2--Use these columns and lines to compute ratios of capital related
building and fixtures and capital related movable equipment gross asset values to total gross asset
values. Use these ratios on columns 5 through 7 to allocate other capital costs (insurance, taxes, and
other) to the capital-related cost center lines (Worksheet A, lines 1 and 2).
Column 1--Enter on line 1 your gross asset value (asset value before accumulated depreciation) for
buildings and fixtures (which also includes old land and land improvements). Enter on line 2 your
gross asset value for movable equipment.
NOTE: Part III, column 1, line 3, must agree with the sum of Part I, column 6, line 8.
Column 2--Enter in column 2, line as appropriate, any amounts that you have included in column 1,
lines 1 and 2, and which were reported on line 8 of Part I, as appropriate.
Column 3--Enter column 1 less column 2.

4016. WORKSHEET A-8 - ADJUSTMENTS TO EXPENSES
In accordance with 42 CFR 413.9(c)(3), if your operating costs include amounts not related to patient
care, these amounts are not reimbursable under the program. If your operating costs include amounts
flowing from the provision of luxury items or services (i.e., those items or services substantially in
excess of or more expensive than those generally considered necessary for the provision of needed
health services), such amounts are not allowable.
This worksheet provides for the adjustments in support of those listed on Worksheet A, column 6.
These adjustments, required under the Medicare principles of reimbursement, are made on the basis
of cost or amount received (revenue) only if the cost (including direct cost and all applicable
overhead) cannot be determined. If the total direct and indirect cost can be determined, enter the
cost. Submit with the cost report a copy of any work papers used to compute a cost adjustment.
Once an adjustment to an expense is made on the basis of cost, you may not determine the required
adjustment to the expense on the basis of revenue in future cost reporting periods. Enter the
following symbols in column 1 to indicate the basis for adjustment: "A" for cost or "B" for amount
received. Line descriptions indicate the more common activities which affect allowable costs or
result in costs incurred for reasons other than patient care and, thus, require adjustments.
Types of adjustments entered on this worksheet include (1) those needed to adjust expenses to reflect
actual expenses incurred; (2) those items which constitute recovery of expenses through sales,
charges, fees, etc.; (3) those items needed to adjust expenses in accordance with the Medicare
principles of reimbursement; and (4) those items which are provided for separately in the cost
apportionment process.
If an adjustment to an expense affects more than one cost center, record the adjustment to each cost
center on a separate line on Worksheet A-8.
NOTE: When adjustments affect capital, they must be appropriately identified as impacting capital
related building and fixtures or capital related movable equipment. If these adjustments
affect other capital-related costs, indicate in column 5 the capital related cost category
shown on Worksheet A-7, Part III, columns 9 through 14.
Enter additional costs as positive amounts. Enter reductions of cost as a negative number. Enter a
net total (if a reduction of cost) as a negative number.
Line Descriptions
Lines 1 - 3--Enter the investment income to be applied against interest expense. (See CMS Pub. 15-
1, §202.2 for an explanation.)
Line 7--For patient telephones, make an adjustment on this line or establish a nonreimbursable cost
center. When this line is used, base the adjustment on cost. Revenue is not used. (See CMS Pub.
15-1, §2328.)
Line 10--Enter the total provider-based physician adjustments for personal patient care services and
RCE limitations. Obtain this amount from Worksheet A-8-2, column 18, sum of all lines.
NOTE: Make the adjustment to Worksheet A, column 6 for each applicable cost center from
Worksheet A-8-2, column 18, line as appropriate.
Line 12--Obtain this amount from section A, column 6 of Worksheet A-8-1. NOTE that Worksheet
A-8-1 represents the detail of the various cost centers on Worksheet A which must be adjusted.

Line 25--This line pertains to the hospital-based SNF only. When the utilization review covers only
Medicare patients or Medicare and title XIX patients, allocate 100 percent of the reasonable
compensation paid to the physicians for their services on utilization review committees to the health
care programs. Apportion all other allowable costs applicable to utilization review which cover only
health care program patients among all users of the hospital-based SNF. Reclassify such other costs
on Worksheet A-6. Enter the physicians’ compensation for service on utilization review committees
which cover only health care program patients in the hospital-based SNF. The amount entered
equals the amount shown on Worksheet A, column 6, line 114. (See CMS Pub. 15-1, §2126.2.) If
the utilization review costs pertain to more than one program, the amount entered on Worksheet E-2,
column 1, line 7 must equal the amount adjusted on Worksheet A-8.
Lines 26 and 27--When depreciation expense computed in accordance with the Medicare principles
of reimbursement differs from depreciation expenses per your books, enter the difference on lines 26
and 27, as applicable. Use line 26 capital related buildings and fixtures costs and line 27 for new
capital related movable equipment costs. Personal use of assets requires adjustment to depreciation
expense, e.g., automotive used 50% for business and 50% personal.
Line 28--This adjustment is required for salaries and fringe benefits paid to nonphysician anesthetists
reimbursed on a fee schedule. (See the instructions for Worksheet A, line 19.)
Line 29--Sections 1861(s)(2)(K), 1842(b)(6)(C), and 1842(b)(12) of the Act provide for coverage of
and separate payment for services performed by a physician assistant. The physician assistant is an
employee of the hospital and payment is made to the employer of the physician assistant. Make an
adjustment on Worksheet A-8 for any payments made directly to the physician assistant for services
rendered. This avoids any duplication of payments.
Line 30--Enter, if applicable, the amount from Worksheet A-8-3, line 65 for occupational therapy
services rendered. (See line 23 above for proper subscripting of this line.)
Line 31--Enter, if applicable, the amount from Worksheet A-8-3, line 65 for speech pathology
services rendered. (See line 23 above for proper subscripting of this line.)
Line 32--For CAHs, where applicable in accordance with ARRA 2009, section 4102, remove the
current year depreciation expense for those HIT assets fully expensed in the current year. Also, in
subsequent years remove any current year depreciation expense over the useful life of the asset for
those HIT assets fully expensed in a previous year.

Lines 33 - 49--Enter any additional adjustments which are required under the Medicare principles of
reimbursement. Label the lines appropriately to indicate the nature of the required adjustments. If
the number of blank lines is not sufficient, subscript lines 33 through 49. The grossing up of costs in
accordance with provisions of CMS Pub. 15-1, §2314 is an example of an adjustment entered on
these lines and is explained below.
If you furnish ancillary services to health care program patients under arrangements with others but
simply arrange for such services for non-health care program patients and do not pay the non-health
care program portion of such services, your books reflect only the costs of the health care program
portion. Therefore, allocation of indirect costs to a cost center which includes only the cost of the
health care program portion results in excessive assignment of indirect costs to the health care
programs. Since services were also arranged for the non-health care program patients, allocate part
of the overhead costs to those groups.
In the foregoing situation, do not allocate indirect costs to the cost center unless your contractor
determines that you are able to gross up both the costs and the charges for services to non-health care
program patients so that both costs and charges for services to non-health care program patients are
recorded as if you had provided such services directly. See the instructions for Worksheet C, Part I
for grossing up of your charges.
Meals furnished by you to an outpatient receiving dialysis treatment also require an adjustment.
These costs are nonallowable for title XVIII reimbursement. Therefore, the cost of these meals must
be adjusted.
In accordance with CMS Pub. 27, §501, compensation paid to a physician for RHC services rendered
in a hospital-based RHC is cost reimbursed. Where the physician agreement compensates for RHC
services as well as non-RHC services, or services furnished in the hospital, the related compensation
must be eliminated on Worksheet A-8 and billed to the Part B contractor. If not specified in the
agreement, a time study must be used to allocate the physician compensation.
If the hospital performs ESRD services and costs are reported on either lines 74, 94, or both, these
costs should include the cost of the drugs Epoetin and Aranesp. Do not report the cost of these drugs
claimed in any other cost center. These costs will be removed later on Worksheet B-2.
If the hospital is paying membership dues to an organization which perform lobbying and political
activities, the portion of the dues associated with these non-allowable activities must be removed
from costs.

In accordance with 42 CFR 413.17, costs applicable to services, facilities, and supplies furnished to
you by organizations related to you by common ownership or control are includable in your
allowable cost at the cost to the related organization, except for the exceptions outlined in 42 CFR
413.17(d). This worksheet provides for the computation of any needed adjustments to costs
applicable to services, facilities, and supplies furnished to the hospital by organizations related to you
or costs associated with the home office. In addition, it shows certain information concerning the
related organizations with which you have transacted business as well as home office costs. (See
CMS Pub. 15-1, chapter 10, and §2150 respectively.)
Part A--Cost applicable to home office costs, services, facilities, and supplies furnished to you by
organizations related to you by common ownership or control are includable in your allowable cost
at the cost to the related organizations. However, such cost must not exceed the amount a prudent
and cost conscious buyer pays for comparable services, facilities, or supplies that are purchased
elsewhere.

In accordance with 42 CFR 413.9, 42 CFR 415.55, 42 CFR 415.60, 42 CFR 415.70, and 42 CFR
415.102(d), you may claim as allowable cost only those costs which you incur for physician services
that benefit the general patient population of the provider or which represent availability services in a
hospital emergency room under specified conditions. (See 42 CFR 415.150 and 42 CFR 415.164 for
an exception for teaching physicians under certain circumstances.) 42 CFR 415.70 imposes limits on
the amount of physician compensation which may be recognized as a reasonable provider cost.
Worksheet A-8-2 provides for the computation of the allowable provider-based physician cost you
incur. 42 CFR 415.60 provides that the physician compensation paid by you must be allocated
between services to individual patients (professional services), services that benefit your patients
generally (provider services), and nonreimbursable services such as research. Only provider services
are reimbursable to you through the cost report. This worksheet also provides for the computation of
the reasonable compensation equivalent (RCE) limits required by 42 CFR 415.70. The methodology
used in this worksheet applies the RCE limit to the total physician compensation attributable to
provider services reimbursable on a reasonable cost basis. Enter the total provider-based physician
adjustment for personal care services and RCE limitations applicable to the compensation of
provider-based physicians directly assigned to or reclassified to general service cost centers. RCE
limits are not applicable to a medical director, chief of medical staff, or to the compensation of a
physician employed in a capacity not requiring the services of a physician, e.g., controller. RCE
limits also do not apply to critical access hospitals, however the professional component must still be
removed on this worksheet. CAHs need only complete columns 1 through 5 and 18. Transfer for
CAHs the amount from column 4 to column 18.
NOTE: 42 CFR 415.70(a)(2) provides that limits established under this section do not apply to
costs of physician compensation attributable to furnishing inpatient hospital services paid
for under the prospective payment system implemented under 42 CFR Part 412.
Limits established under this section apply to inpatient services subject to the TEFRA rate of
increase ceiling (see 42 CFR 413.40), outpatient services for all titles, and to title XVIII, Part B
inpatient services.
Since the methodology used in this worksheet applies the RCE limit in total, make the adjustment
required by 42 CFR 415.70(a)(2) on Worksheet C, Part I. Base this adjustment on the RCE
disallowance amounts entered in column 17 of Worksheet A-8-2.
Where several physicians work in the same department, see CMS Pub. 15-1, §2182.6C for a
discussion of applying the RCE limit in the aggregate for the department versus on an individual
basis to each of the physicians in the department.
NOTE: The adjustments generated from this worksheet for physician compensation are limited to
the cost centers on Worksheet A, lines 4-99, 105-112, and 115 and subscripts as allowed.
Column Descriptions
Columns 1 and 10--Enter the line numbers from Worksheet A for each cost center that contained
compensation for physicians who are subject to RCE limits.
Columns 2 and 11--Enter the description of the cost center used on Worksheet A. When RCE limits
are applied on an individual basis to each physician in a department, list each physician on
successive lines directly under the cost center description line, or list the first physician on the same
line as the cost center description line and then each successive line below for each additional
physician in that cost center.

RCE limits are applied on a departmental basis, insert the word "aggregate" (instead of the physician
identifiers) on the line below the cost center description.
Columns 3 - 9 and 12 - 18--When the aggregate method is used, enter the data for each of these
columns on the aggregate line for each cost center. When the individual method is used, enter the
data for each column on the individual physician identifier lines for each cost center.
Column 3--Enter the total physician compensation paid by you for each cost center. Physician
compensation means monetary payments, fringe benefits, deferred compensation, costs of physician
membership in professional societies, continuing education, malpractice, and any other items of
value (excluding office space or billing and collection services) that you or other organizations
furnish a physician in return for the physician's services. (See 42 CFR 415.60(a).) Include the
compensation in column 3 of Worksheet A or, if necessary, through appropriate reclassifications on
Worksheet A-6 or as a cost paid by a related organization through Worksheet A-8-1.
Column 4--Enter the amount of total remuneration included in column 3 applicable to the physician's
services to individual patients (professional component). These services are reimbursed on a
reasonable charge basis by the Part B contractor in accordance with 42 CFR 415.102(a). The written
allocation agreement between you and the physician specifying how the physician spends his or her
time is the basis for this computation. (See 42 CFR 415.60(f).)
Column 5--Enter the amount of the total remuneration included in column 3, for each cost center,
applicable to general services to you (provider component). The written allocation agreement is the
basis for this computation. (See 42 CFR 415.60(f).)
NOTE: 42 CFR 405.481(b) requires that physician compensation be allocated between physician
services to patients, the provider, and nonallowable services such as research. Physicians'
nonallowable services must not be included in columns 4 or 5. The instructions for
column 18 insures that the compensation for nonallowable services included in column 3
is correctly eliminated on Worksheet A-8.
Column 6--Enter for each line of data, as applicable, the reasonable compensation equivalent (RCE)
limit applicable to the physician's compensation included in that cost center. The amount entered is
the limit applicable to the physician specialty as published in the Federal Register before any
allowable adjustments. The final notice on the annual update to RCE limits published in the Federal
Register, Vol. 50, No. 34, February 20, 1985, on page 7126 contains Table 1, Estimates of FTE
Annual Average Net Compensation Levels for 1984. An update was published in the Federal
Register on August 1, 2003, Vol. 68, No. 148 on page 45459. Obtain the RCE applicable to the
specialty from this table. If the physician specialty is not identified in the table, use the RCE for the
total category in the table. The beginning date of the cost reporting period determines which
calendar year (CY) RCE is used. Your location governs which of the three geographical categories
are applicable: non-metropolitan areas, metropolitan areas less than one million, or metropolitan
areas greater than one million.
Column 7--Enter for each line of data the physician's hours allocated to provider services. For
example, if a physician works 2080 hours per year and 50 percent of his/her time is spent on provider
services, then enter 1040 in this column. The hours entered are the actual hours for which the
physician is compensated by you for furnishing services of a general benefit to your patients. If the
physician is paid for unused vacation, unused sick leave, etc., exclude the hours so paid from the
hours entered. Time records or other documentation that supports this allocation must be

RCE amount entered in column 6 and the ratio of the physician’s provider component hours entered
in column 7 to 2080 hours.
Column 9--Enter for each line of data five percent of the amounts entered in column 8.
Column 12--You may adjust upward, up to five percent of the computed limit (column 9), to take
into consideration the actual costs of membership for physicians in professional societies and
continuing education paid by you.
Enter for each line of data the actual amounts of these expenses paid by you.
Column 13--Enter for each line of data the result of multiplying column 5 by column 12 and dividing
that amount by column 3.
Column 14--You may also adjust upward the computed RCE limit in column 8 to reflect the actual
malpractice expense incurred by you for the services of a physician or group of physicians to your
patients.
Enter for each line of data the actual amounts of these malpractice expenses paid by you.
Column 15--Enter for each line of data the result of multiplying column 5 by column 14 and dividing
that amount by column 3.
Column 16--Enter for each line of data the sum of columns 8 and 15 plus the lesser of columns 9 or

Column 17--Compute the RCE disallowance for each cost center by subtracting the RCE limit in
column 16 from your component remuneration in column 5. If the result is a negative amount, enter
zero. Transfer the amounts for each cost center to Worksheet C, Part I, column 4 for all hospitals
subject to PPS. (See 42 CFR Part 412.)
Column 18--The adjustment for each cost center entered represents the PBP elimination from costs

4019. WORKSHEET A-8-3 - REASONABLE COST DETERMINATION FOR THERAPY
SERVICES FURNISHED BY OUTSIDE SUPPLIERS
This worksheet provides for the computation of any needed adjustments to costs applicable to
therapy services furnished by outside suppliers in CAHs. Therapy services rendered by non-CAH
providers are either subject to fee schedule reimbursement or the corresponding PPS reimbursement.
Consequently, only CAHs complete this worksheet. The information required on this worksheet
provides, in the aggregate, all data for therapy services furnished by all outside suppliers in
determining the reasonableness of therapy costs.
If you contract with an outside supplier for therapy services, the potential for limitation and the
amount of payment you receive depend on several factors:
• An initial test to determine whether these services are categorized as intermittent part time or
full time services;
• The location where the services are rendered, i.e., at your site or an alternate site.
• Whether detailed time and mileage records are maintained by the contractor;
• Add-ons for supervisory functions, aides, overtime, equipment and supplies; and
• Contractor determinations of reasonableness of rates charged by the supplier compared with the
going rates in the area.
4019.1 Part I - General Information--This part provides for furnishing certain information
concerning therapy services furnished by outside suppliers.
Line 1--Enter the number of weeks that services were performed on site. Count only those weeks
during which a supervisor, therapist or an assistant was on site. (See Pub. 15-I, chapter 14.)
Line 2--Multiply the amount on line 1 by 15 hours per week. This calculation is used to determine
whether services are full-time or intermittent part-time.
Line 3--Enter the number of days in which the supervisor or therapist (only report the therapists for
respiratory therapy) was on site. Count only one day when both the supervisor and therapist were at
the site during the same day.
Line 4--Enter the number of days in which the therapy assistant (PT, OT, or SP only) was on site.
Do not include days when either the supervisor or therapist was also at the site during the same day.
NOTE: Count an unduplicated day for each day the contractor has at least one employee on site.
For example, if the contractor furnishes a supervisor, therapist and assistant on one day,
count one therapist day. If the contractor provides two assistants on one day (and no
supervisors or therapists), count one assistant day.
Line 5--Enter the number of unduplicated visits made by the supervisor or therapist. Count only one
visit when both the supervisor and therapist were present during the same visit.
Line 6--Enter the number of unduplicated visits made by the therapy assistant. Do not include in the
count the visits when either the supervisor or therapist was present during the same visit.
Line 7--Enter the standard travel expense rate applicable. (See CMS Pub. 15-1, chapter 14.)
Rev. 1 40-111
12-10 FORM CMS-2552-10 4019.2
Line 8--Enter the optional travel expense rate applicable. (See CMS Pub. 15-1, chapter 14.) Use this
rate only for services for which time records are available.
Line 9--Enter in the appropriate columns the total number of hours worked for each category.
Line 10--Enter in each column the appropriate adjusted hourly salary equivalency amount (AHSEA).
This amount is the prevailing hourly salary rate plus the fringe benefit and expense factor described
in CMS Pub 15-1, chapter 14. This amount is determined on a periodic basis for appropriate
geographical areas and is published as an exhibit at the end of CMS Pub. 15-1, chapter 14. Use the
appropriate exhibit for the period of this cost report.
Enter in column 1 the supervisory AHSEA, adjusted for administrative and supervisory
responsibilities. Determine this amount in accordance with the provisions of Pub. 15-1, §1412.5.
Enter in columns 2, 3, and 4 (for therapists, assistants, aides, and trainees respectively) the AHSEA
from either the appropriate exhibit found in CMS Pub. 15-1, chapter 14 or from the latest publication
of rates. If the going hourly rate for assistants in the area is unobtainable, use no more than 75
percent of the therapist AHSEA. The cost of services of a therapy aide or trainee is evaluated at the
hourly rate, not to exceed the hourly rate paid to your employees of comparable classification and/or
qualification, e.g., nurses' aides. (See CMS Pub. 15-1, §1412.2.)
Line 11--Enter the standard travel allowance equal to one half of the AHSEA. Enter in columns 1
and 2 one half of the amount in column 2, line 10. Enter in column 3 one half of the amount in
column 3, line 10. (See CMS Pub 15-1, §1402.4.)
Lines 12 and 13--Enter the number of travel hours and number of miles driven, respectively, if time
records of visits are kept. (See CMS Pub. 15-1, §§1402.5 and 1403.1.) Subscript this line into two
categories of, provider site and provider offsite.
NOTE: There is no travel allowance for aides employed by outside suppliers.
4019.2 Part II - Salary Equivalency Computation--This part provides for the computation of the
full-time or intermittent part-time salary equivalency.
When you furnish therapy services from outside suppliers to health care program patients but simply
arrange for such services for non health care program patients and do not pay the non health care
program portion of such services, your books reflect only the cost of the health care program portion.
Where you can gross up costs and charges in accordance with provisions of CMS Pub. 15-1, §2314,
complete Part II, lines 14 through 20 and 23 in all cases and lines 21 and 22 where appropriate. See
§2810 for instructions regarding grossing up costs and charges. However, where you cannot gross
up costs and charges, complete lines 14 through 20 and 23.
Line 14 - 20--To compute the total salary equivalency allowance amounts, multiply the total hours
worked (line 9) by the adjusted hourly salary equivalency amount for supervisors, therapists,
assistants, aides and trainees (for respiratory therapy only).
Line 17--Enter the sum of lines 14 and 15 for respiratory therapy or sum of lines 14 through 16 for
all others.
Line 20--Enter the sum of lines 17 through 19 for respiratory therapy or sum of lines 17 and 18 for
all other.

others, line 9 is less than or equal to the product found on line 2, complete these lines. (See the
exception above where you cannot gross up costs and charges, and services are provided to program
patients only.)
Line 21--Enter the result of line 17 divided by the sum of columns 1 and 2, line 9 for respiratory
therapy or columns 1 through 3, line 9 for all others.
Line 22--Enter the result of line 2 times line 21.

Provider Site--This part provides for the computation of the standard and optional travel allowance
and travel expense for services rendered on site.
Lines 24 - 28--Complete these lines for the computation of the standard travel allowance and
standard travel expense for therapy services performed at your site. One standard travel allowance is
recognized for each day an outside supplier performs skilled therapy services at your site. For
example, if a contracting organization sends three therapists to you each day, only one travel
allowance is recognized per day. (See CMS Pub. 15-1, §1403.1 for a discussion of standard travel
allowance and §1412.6 for a discussion of standard travel expense.)
Line 24--Include the standard travel allowance for supervisors and therapists. This standard travel
allowance for supervisors does not take into account the additional allowance for administrative and
supervisory responsibilities. (See CMS Pub. 15-1, §1402.4.)
Line 25--Include the standard travel allowance for assistants for physical therapy, occupational
therapy, and speech pathology.
Line 26--Enter the amount from line 24 for respiratory therapy or the sum of lines 24 and 25 for
physical therapy, occupational therapy, or speech pathology.
Line 27--Enter the result of line 7 times line 3 for respiratory therapy or line 7 times the sum of lines
3 and 4 for all others.
Lines 29 - 35--Complete these lines for computing the optional travel allowance and expense when
proper records are maintained.
Line 31--Enter the amount on line 29 for respiratory therapy or the sum of lines 29 and 30 for all
others.
Line 32--Enter the result of line 8 times the sum of columns 1 and 2, line 13 for respiratory therapy
or columns 1, 2, and 3, line 13 for all other.
Lines 33 through 35--Enter an amount in one of these lines depending on the method utilized.
4019.4 Part IV - Standard and Optional Travel Allowance and Standard Travel Expense
Computation - Services outside Provider Site--This part provides for the computation of the standard
travel allowance, the standard travel expense, the optional travel allowance, and the optional travel
expense. (See CMS Pub. 15-1, §§1402ff, 1403.1 and 1412.6.)

Lines 36-39--Complete these lines for the computation of the standard travel allowance and standard
travel expense for therapy services performed in conjunction with offsite visits. Only use these lines
if you do not use the optional method of computing travel. A standard travel allowance is recognized
for each visit to a patient’s residence. If services are furnished to more than one patient at the same
location, only one standard travel allowance is permitted, regardless of the number of patients
treated.
Lines 40 - 43--Complete the optional travel allowance and optional travel expense computations for
physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech pathology services in conjunction with home
health services only. Compute the optional travel allowance on lines 40 through 42. Compute the
optional travel expense on line 43.
Lines 44 - 46--Choose and complete only one of the options on lines 44 through 46. However, use
lines 45 and 46 only if you maintain time records of visits. (See CMS Pub. 15-1, §1402.5.)
4019.5 Part V - Overtime Computation--This part provides for the computation of an overtime
allowance when an individual employee of the outside supplier performs services for you in excess
of your standard work week. No overtime allowance is given to a therapist who receives an
additional allowance for supervisory or administrative duties. (See CMS Pub. 15-1, §1412.4.)
Line 47--Enter in the appropriate columns the total overtime hours worked. Where the total hours in
column 5 are either zero or, equal to or greater than 2080, the overtime computation is not
applicable. Make no further entries on lines 48 through 55 (If there is a short period prorate the
hours). Enter zero in each column of line 56. Enter in column 5 the sum of the hours recorded in
columns 1, 3 and 4 for respiratory therapy, and columns 1 through 3 for physical therapy, speech
pathology, and occupational therapy.
Line 48--Enter in the appropriate column the overtime rate (the AHSEA from line 10, column as
appropriate, multiplied by 1.5).
Line 50--Enter the percentage of overtime hours by class of employee. Determine this amount by
dividing each column on line 47 by the total overtime hours in column 5, line 47.
Line 51--Use this line to allocate your standard work year for one full-time employee. Enter the
numbers of hours in your standard work year for one full-time employee in column 5. Multiply the
standard workyear in column 5 by the percentage on line 50 and enter the result in the corresponding
columns.
Line 52--Enter in columns 1 through 3 for physical therapy, speech pathology, and occupational
therapy the AHSEA from Part I, line 10, columns 2 through 4, as appropriate. Enter in columns 1, 3
and 4 the AHSEA from Part I, line 10, columns 2, 4 and 5, for respiratory therapy.
Line 56--Enter in column 5 the sum of the amounts recorded in columns 1, 3, and 4 for respiratory
therapy and columns 1 through 3 for physical therapy, speech pathology, and occupational therapy.

Lines 61 and 62--When the outside supplier provides the equipment and supplies used in furnishing
direct services to your patients, the actual cost of the equipment and supplies incurred by the outside
supplier (as specified in CMS Pub 15-1, §1412.1) is considered an additional allowance in
computing the limitation.
Line 64--Enter the amounts paid and/or payable to the outside suppliers for the hospital, if
applicable, for therapy services rendered during the period as reported in the cost report. This

4020. WORKSHEET B, PART I - COST ALLOCATION - GENERAL SERVICE COSTS AND
WORKSHEET B-1 - COST ALLOCATION - STATISTICAL BASIS
Base cost data on an approved method of cost finding and on the accrual basis of accounting except
where government institutions operate on a cash basis of accounting. (See 42 CFR 413.24(a).) Cost
data based on such basis of accounting is acceptable subject to appropriate treatment of capital
expenditures. Cost finding is the process of recasting the data derived from the accounts ordinarily
kept by you to ascertain costs of the various types of services rendered. It is the determination of
these costs by the allocation of direct costs and proration of indirect costs. The various cost finding
methods recognized are outlined in 42 CFR 413.24. Worksheets B, Part I, and B-1 have been
designed to accommodate the stepdown method of cost finding.
The provider can elect to change the order of allocation and/or allocation statistics, as appropriate,
for the current cost reporting period if a request is received by the contractor, in writing, 90 days
prior to the end of that reporting period. The contractor has 60 days to make a decision and notify
the provider of that decision or the change is automatically accepted. The change must be shown to
more accurately allocate the overhead or should demonstrate simplification in maintaining the
changed statistics. If a change in statistics is requested, the provider must maintain both sets of
statistics until an approval is made. If both sets are not maintained and the request is denied, the
provider reverts back to the previously approved methodology. The provider must include with the
request all supporting documentation and a thorough explanation of why the alternative approach
should be used. (see CMS Pub. 15-1, §2313)
Simplified Cost Allocation Methodology
As an alternative approach to the cost finding methods identified in CMS Pub. 15-1, §2306, the
provider may request a simplified cost allocation methodology. This methodology reduces the
number of statistical bases a provider maintains. It may result in reducing Medicare reimbursement.
A comparison is recommended if the possible loss reimbursement is surpassed by the reduced costs
of maintaining voluminous statistics. The following statistical bases must be used for purposes of
allocating overhead cost centers. There can be no deviation of the prescribed statistics and it must be
utilized for all the following cost centers.
Buildings and Fixtures Square Footage
Movable Equipment Square Footage
Maintenance and Repairs Square Footage
Operation of Plant Square Footage
Housekeeping Square Footage

NOTE: The election of the alternative method discussed above cannot result in inappropriately
shifting costs.
*Contract labor is not included and is not grossed up.
**If this is a meals on wheels program, a Worksheet A-8 adjustment is required.
Once the simplified method is elected, the provider must continue to use this method for no less than
3 years, unless a change of ownership occurs.
In addition, the following overhead cost center statistics can be substituted for the recommended
statistics printed on Worksheet B-1. The 90-day and 60-day rule discussed above still applies (CMS
Pub. 15-1, §2313).

Continuation of the Standard Allocation Methodology Instructions
Worksheet B, Part I, provides for the allocation of the expenses of each general service cost center to
those cost centers which receive the services. The cost centers serviced by the general service cost
centers include all cost centers within your organization, other general service cost centers, inpatient
routine service cost centers, ancillary service cost centers, outpatient service cost centers, other
reimbursable cost centers, special purpose cost centers, and nonreimbursable cost centers. Obtain the
total direct expenses from Worksheet A, column 7.
All direct graduate medical education costs (inpatient and outpatient in approved programs) are
reimbursed based on a specific amount per resident as computed on Worksheet E-4. Costs
applicable to interns and residents must still be allocated in columns 21 and 22. These costs are,
however, eliminated from total costs in column 25, unless you qualify for an exception. See the
instructions for column 25 for a more detailed explanation.
Worksheet B-l provides for the proration of the statistical data needed to equitably allocate the
expenses of the general service cost centers on Worksheet B, Part I. To facilitate the allocation
process, the general format of Worksheets B, Part I, and B-1 is identical. Each general service cost
center has the same line number as its respective column number across the top. Also, the column
and line numbers for each general service cost center are identical on the two worksheets. In
addition, the line numbers for each routine service, ancillary outpatient service, other reimbursable,
special purpose, and nonreimbursable cost center are identical on the two worksheets. The cost
centers and line numbers are also consistent with Worksheet A. If you have subscripted any lines on
Worksheet A, subscript the same lines on these worksheets.
NOTE: General service columns 1 through 23 and subscripts thereof must be consistent on
Worksheets B, Parts I, and II; H-2, Part I; J-1, Part I; K-5, Part I; and L-1, Part I.
The statistical basis shown at the top of each column on Worksheet B-1 is the recommended basis of
allocation of the cost center indicated which must be used by all providers completing this form
(Form CMS 2552-10), even if a basis of allocation other than the recommended basis of allocation
was used in the previous iteration of the cost report (Form CMS 2552-96). If a different basis of
allocation is used, you must indicate the basis of allocation actually used at the top of the column
subject to the applicable provisions of CMS Pub 15-1, §2313.

Most cost centers are allocated on different statistical bases. However, for those cost centers with the
same basis (e.g., square feet), the total statistical base over which the costs are allocated differs
because of the prior elimination of cost centers that have been closed.
The general service cost centers are ordered sequentially such that the cost centers that render the
most services to and receive the least services from other cost centers are listed first. When closing
the general service cost centers, first close the cost centers that render the most services to and
receive the least services from other cost centers. List the cost centers in this sequence from left to
right on the worksheets. However, your circumstances may be such that a more accurate result is
obtained by allocating to certain cost centers in a sequence different from that followed on these
worksheets. NOTE that the general service cost centers are not allocated to provider-based
physician (PBP) clinical lab service (line 61) because this cost center is treated as a purchased
service under arrangements provided only to program beneficiaries.
If the amount of any cost center on Worksheet A, column 7, has a credit balance, show this amount
as a credit balance on Worksheet B, Part I, column 0. Allocate the costs from the applicable
overhead cost centers in the normal manner to the cost center showing a credit balance. After
receiving costs from the applicable overhead cost centers, if a general service cost center has a credit
balance at the point it is allocated, do not allocate the general service cost center. Rather, enter the
credit balance in parentheses on line 201 as well as on the first line of the column and on line 202.
This enables column 26, line 202, to crossfoot to columns 0 and 4A, line 202. After receiving costs
from the applicable overhead cost centers, if a revenue producing cost center has a credit balance on
Worksheet B, Part I, column 26, do not carry forward a credit balance to any worksheet.
On Worksheet B-1, enter on the first line in the column of the cost center being allocated the total
statistical base over which the expenses are allocated (e.g., in column 1, capital-related cost -
building and fixtures, enter on line 1 the total square feet of the building on which depreciation was
taken). Use accumulated cost for allocating administrative and general expenses.
Do not include any statistics related to services furnished under arrangements except if:
o Both Medicare and non-Medicare costs of arranged for services are recorded in your
records; or
o Your contractor determines that you are able to (and do) gross up the costs and charges for
services to non-Medicare patients so that both cost and charges are recorded as if you had furnished
such services directly to all patients. (See CMS Pub. 15-1, §2314.)
For all cost centers (below the first line) to which the capital-related cost is allocated, enter that
portion of the total statistical base applicable to each. The sum of the statistical base applied to each
cost center receiving the services rendered must equal the total base entered on the first line.
Enter on line 202 of Worksheet B-l the total expenses of the cost center being allocated. Obtain this
amount from Worksheet B, Part I from the same column and line number used to enter the statistical
base on Worksheet B-1. (In the case of capital-related costs - buildings and fixtures, this amount is
on Worksheet B, Part I, column 1, line 1.)
Divide the amount entered on line 202 by the total statistics entered in the same column on the first
line. Enter the resulting unit cost multiplier on line 203. Round the unit cost multiplier to six
decimal places.
Multiply the unit cost multiplier by that portion of the total statistics applicable to each cost center
receiving the services rendered. Enter the result of each computation on Worksheet B, Part I, in the
corresponding column and line. (See §4000.1 for rounding standards.)

After applying the unit cost multiplier to all the cost centers receiving the services rendered, the total
cost (line 202) of all the cost centers receiving the allocation on Worksheet B, Part I, must equal the
amount entered on the first line. Perform the preceding procedures for each general service cost
center. Complete the column for each cost center on both Worksheets B, Part I, and B-1 before
proceeding to the column for the next cost center.
If a general service cost center has a credit balance at the point it is allocated on Worksheet B, Part I,
do not allocate the general service cost centers. However, display the statistic departmentally, but do
not calculate a unit cost multiplier for lines 203 and 205 on Worksheet B-1. Use line 204 of
Worksheet B-1 in conjunction with the allocation of capital-related costs on Worksheet B, Part II.
Complete line 204 for all columns after Worksheets B, Part I, and B-1 are completed and the amount
of direct and indirect capital-related cost is determined on Worksheet B, Part II, column 2A. Use
line 205 for all columns in allocating the direct and indirect capital-related cost on Worksheet B, Part
II. Compute the unit cost multiplier (after the amount entered on line 204 has been determined) by
dividing the capital-related costs recorded on line 204 by the total statistics entered in the same
column on the first line. Round the unit cost multipliers to six decimal places. (See instructions for
Worksheet B, Part II, for the complete methodology and exceptions.)
Do not use line 200 to allocate costs on Worksheet B, Part I.
Since intern and resident costs are segregated into two cost centers, properly allocate general service
costs applicable to each center. A listing of general service cost centers which may be applicable and
the appropriate allocation to the separate cost centers for the intern and resident costs is presented
below.

After the costs of the general service cost center have been allocated on Worksheet B, Part I, enter in
column 24 the sum of the costs in columns 4A through 23 for lines 30 through 201. Once overhead
is allocated to these cost centers, they are closed and the costs are not further allocated to the revenue
producing cost centers.
Since costs applicable to direct graduate medical education costs (inpatient and outpatient in
approved programs) are reimbursed based on a specific amount per resident, exclude these costs
from the total costs in column 26. Enter on each line in column 25 the sum of the amounts shown on
each line in columns 21 and 22. If you qualify for the exception (cost reimbursed hospital such as
CAHs do not offset I&R costs), enter only the amounts from Worksheet B-2.
In addition, when an adjustment to expenses is required after cost allocation, enter the amount
applicable to each cost center in column 25 of Worksheet B, Part I. Corresponding adjustments to
Worksheet B, Part II, may be applicable for capital-related cost adjustments. Submit a supporting
worksheet showing the computation of the adjustments in addition to completing Worksheet B-2.
NOTE: The amount reported in column 25 must equal both the sum of the amounts shown in
columns 21 and 22 and the amount on Worksheet B-2, unless you qualify for the
exception. See the instructions for column 25 for a more detailed explanation.
Other examples of adjustments to expenses which may be required after cost allocation are (1) the
allocation of available costs between the certified portion and the non-certified portion of a distinct
part provider, and (2) costs attributable to unoccupied beds in a hospital with a restrictive admission
policy. (See CMS Pub. 15-1, §§2342-2344.3.)
After the adjustments have been entered on Worksheet B, Part I, column 25, subtract the amounts in
column 25 from the amounts in column 24, and enter the resulting amounts in column 26 for each
line. The total costs entered in column 26, line 202 must equal the total costs entered in column 0,
line 202.

Worksheet B, Part I, Column 25--Accumulate in this column the costs for interns and residents and
post step down adjustments. Except as provided in 42 CFR 413.77(e)(1), the costs of interns and
residents (direct graduate medical education costs for inpatient and outpatient in approved programs)
are paid on a per resident amount through Worksheet E-4. In order to avoid duplicate payments,
enter the sum of the amounts reported on each line in columns 21 and 22 in the appropriate line of
column 25. In addition, enter the amounts from Worksheet B-2, lines as appropriate. The total of
columns 21 and 22 and the appropriate lines on Worksheet B-2 must equal the total of column 25.
NOTE: 42 CFR 413.77 provides for the establishment of a base period and a per resident
amount for new teaching hospitals. If your hospital did not have an approved medical
residency training program or did not participate in Medicare during the FY 1984 base
period, but either condition changed in a cost reporting period beginning on or after July 1,
1985 using the information from the first cost reporting period during which the hospital
participates in Medicare and the residents are on duty during the first month of that period.
Effective for cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2006, if residents are
not on duty during the first month of the cost reporting period in which the hospital first
begins to train residents, the contractor establishes a per resident amount using information
from the first cost reporting period immediately following the cost reporting period during
which the hospital participates in Medicare and residents began training at the hospital.
If your hospital begins training residents after the first month of the cost reporting period,
your hospital is reimbursed for these costs based on reasonable cost on Worksheets D,
Parts III and IV. Do not include in column 25 the intern and resident costs from columns
21 and 22.
If you are CAH and responded “Y” to Worksheet S-2, Part I, question 107, (indicating that
you have an I&R training program) the GME elimination is not performed. Consequently,
do not include in column 25 the intern and resident costs from columns 21 and 22.
If you responded “N” to the question on Worksheet S-2, Part I, line 57, then your hospital
is reimbursed for these costs based on reasonable cost. If you answered “Y” to the
question on Worksheet S-2, Part I, line 57, then you are paid for graduate medical
education costs using a per resident amount through Worksheet E-4. Include in column 25

reported on Worksheet B-1, column 5, line 5. Enter any amounts reported on Worksheet B, Part I,
column 4A for (1) any service provided under arrangements to program patients and which is not
grossed up and (2) negative balances. Enter a negative one (-1) in the accumulated cost column to
identify the cost center which should be excluded from receiving any A & G costs. If some of the
costs from that cost center are to receive A & G costs then enter in the reconciliation column the
amount not to receive A & G costs to assure that only those costs to receive overhead receive the
proper allocation. Including a statistical cost which does not relate to the allocation of administrative
and general expenses causes an improper distribution of overhead. In addition, report on line 5 the
administrative and general costs reported on Worksheet B, Part I, column 5, line 5 since these costs
are not included on Worksheet B-1, column 5 as an accumulated cost statistic.
For componentized A&G cost centers, the accumulated cost center line number must match the
reconciliation column number. Include in the column number the alpha character "A", i.e., if the
accumulated cost center for A&G is line 5.03 (Other A&G), the reconciliation column designation
must be 5A.03.
Worksheet B-1, Column 5--The administrative and general expenses are allocated on the basis of
accumulated costs. Therefore, the amount entered on Worksheet B-l, column 5, line 5, is the
difference between the amounts entered on Worksheet B, Part I, column 4A and Worksheet B-1,
column 5A. A negative cost center balance in the statistics for allocating administrative and general
expenses causes an improper distribution of this overhead cost center. Exclude negative balances
from the allocation statistics.
Worksheet B-1, Column 23--Enter the appropriate statistics based on assigned time. If, however, the
use of assigned time is not appropriate for that paramedical education program (i.e., a non-direct
patient care cost center), a different statistical basis may be used. For example, if you have a
paramedical education program for hospital administration, using assigned time as the statistical
basis may be inappropriate. Use accumulated costs as the statistical basis for allocating hospital
administrative paramedical education program costs.

4021. WORKSHEET B, PART II - ALLOCATION OF CAPITAL-RELATED COSTS
These worksheets provide for the determination of direct and indirect capital-related costs allocated
to those cost centers which receive the services. The cost centers serviced by the general service cost
centers include all cost centers within your organization, other general service cost centers, inpatient
routine service cost centers, ancillary service cost centers, outpatient service cost centers, other
reimbursable cost centers, special purpose cost centers, and nonreimbursable cost centers. Hospitals
receiving 100 percent Federal rate for IPPS capital payments complete Worksheet B, Part II in its
entirety.
NOTE: Unless there is a change in ownership or the provider has elected the alternative method
described in §4017, the hospital must continue the same cost finding methods (including
its cost finding bases) in effect in the hospital's last cost reporting period ending on or
before October 1, 1991. (See 42 CFR 412.302 (d).) If there is a change in ownership, the
new owners may request that the contractor approve a change in order to be consistent
with their established cost finding practices. (See CMS Pub. 15-1, §2313.)
Part II is completed by all IPPS hospitals and IPPS excluded hospitals which were part of a complex
subject to IPPS. Freestanding hospitals excluded from IPPS are not required to complete Part II.
See the instructions for Worksheet A, lines 1 and 2, for a discussion of capital-related costs.
Use these worksheets in conjunction with Worksheets B, Part I and B-1. The format and allocation
process employed are identical to that used on Worksheets B, Part I and B-1. Any cost centers,
subscripted lines, and/or columns added to Worksheet A are also added to Worksheet B, Part II, in
the same sequence.
Column 0--Where capital-related costs have been directly assigned to specific cost centers on
Worksheet A, column 7, in accordance with CMS Pub. 15-1, §2307, enter in this column those
amounts directly assigned from your records. Where you include cost incurred by a related
organization, the portion of these costs that are capital-related costs is considered directly assigned
capital-related costs of the applicable cost center. For example, if you are part of a chain
organization that includes some costs incurred by the home office of the chain organization in your
administrative and general cost center, the amount so included represents capital-related costs
included in this column.
Columns l and 2--Obtain the amounts entered in columns l and 2, lines 4 through 199, from the
corresponding columns and lines on Worksheet B, Part I.
Column 2A--Enter the sum of columns 0 through 2 for each line.
Enter on line 204 of Worksheet B-l for each column the capital-related costs allocated. Report these
costs on the first line of each column on Worksheet B, Part II. (See exceptions below.) Complete a
unit cost multiplier for each column by dividing the amount on line 204 of Worksheet B-l by the
statistic reported on the first line of the same column. Enter the unit cost multiplier on line 205 and
round to six decimal places, e.g., .0622438 is rounded to .062244. The allocation process on
Worksheet B, Part II is identical to that used on Worksheets B, Part I and B-l.

Multiply the unit cost multipliers on line 205 by the portion of the total statistic on Worksheet B-1
applicable to each cost center. Enter the result of each computation on Worksheet B, Part II,
respectively, in the corresponding column and line.
After the unit cost multipliers have been applied to all the cost centers, the total cost on Worksheet
B, Part II, line 202 of all the cost centers receiving the allocation must equal the amount allocated on
the first line of the column. However, this is not true in circumstances described in the second
paragraph of exceptions below. Perform these procedures for each general service cost center.
Complete the column for each cost center on Worksheets B-1 and B, Part II before proceeding to the
column for the next cost center.
EXCEPTIONS: When a general service cost center is not allocated on Worksheet B, Part I
because it has a negative balance at the point it is to be allocated, the capital-
related cost for the same general service cost center on Worksheet B, Part II, is
not allocated. Enter the total capital-related cost on line 201, the negative cost
center line. This enables column 2A, line 202 to cross foot to column 26, line
202.
When a general service cost center has a negative direct cost balance on
Worksheet B, Part I, column 0 and the negative balance becomes positive
through the cost allocation process, adjust the amount of capital-related cost
determined on Worksheet B, Part II for that general cost center to reflect the
amount allocated on Worksheet B, Part I. Determine the adjusted amounts of
capital-related cost allocated on Worksheet B, Part II, by dividing the capital-
related cost by the total indirect cost allocated to the specific cost center on
Worksheet B, Part I. (Do not include the negative direct cost.) Then multiply
that ratio by the net amount allocated on Worksheet B, Part I for that specific
cost center. For cross footing purposes, enter the adjusted capital-related costs
on the first line of the column and the differences between the total capital-
related cost and the adjusted capital-related cost on line 201 of Worksheet B,
Part II. This enables column 2A, line 202 to cross foot to column 26, line 202.
After all the capital-related costs of the general service cost centers have been allocated on
Worksheet B, Part II, enter in column 24 the sum of columns 2A through 23 for lines 30 through
201.
When an adjustment to expenses is required after cost allocation, show the amount applicable to each
cost center in column 25 of Worksheet B, Part II. Submit a supporting worksheet showing the
computation of the adjustment in addition to completing Worksheet B-2.
Adjustments to expenses which may be required after cost allocation include (1) the allocation of
available costs between the certified portion and the noncertified portion of a distinct part provider
and (2) costs attributable to unoccupied beds of a hospital with a restrictive admission policy. (See
CMS Pub. 15-1, §§2342-2344.3.)
After the adjustments have been entered on Worksheet B, Part II, column 25, subtract the amounts in
column 25 from the amounts in column 24, and enter the resulting amounts in column 26 for each
line. The total costs entered in column 26, line 202 must equal the total costs entered in column 2A,
line 202.
On Worksheet B, Part II, columns 19 through 23, lines 30 through 194 are shaded because the full
amount of nonphysician anesthetists and medical education costs is obtained from Worksheet B, Part
I, columns 19 through 23. Enter these amounts on line 200 for cross footing purposes. For example,
if column 20 is subscripted for additional education cost centers qualifying as educational pass
through costs (see the instructions for Worksheet A, lines 20 through 23), the subscripted column(s)
must be shaded similarly to columns 20 through 23.

Since capital-related cost, non-physician anesthetists, and approved education programs are not
included in the operating cost per discharge, columns 19 through 23, lines 30 through 194 are shaded
on Worksheet B, Part II, for all lines except 19 through 23, 200, 201, and 202. These are the only
lines and columns where an approved educational cost center can be shown. For purposes of this
paragraph only, the statistic for line 200 is the sum of the statistics on lines 30 through 117 and 190
through 194 on Worksheet B-1 for the same column. Enter these amounts on line 200 for cross
footing purposes. Use line 200 of Worksheet B-1, columns 19 through 23, for this purpose in the
allocation of capital-related cost on Worksheet B, Part II. Use the statistic on line 200 together with
the statistics on lines 19 through 23 of Worksheet B-1 to allocate columns 19 through 23 of
Worksheet B, Part II. If column 20 is subscripted for additional education cost centers qualifying as
educational pass through costs (see the instructions for Worksheet A, lines 20 through 23), the
subscripted column(s) must be shaded similarly to columns 20 through 23
The total for each column includes lines 200 and 201 for cross footing purposes.

4023. WORKSHEET C - COMPUTATION OF RATIO OF COST TO CHARGES AND
OUTPATIENT CAPITAL REDUCTION
4023.1 Computation of Ratio of Cost to Charges--This worksheet computes the ratio of cost to
charges for inpatient services, ancillary services, outpatient services, and other reimbursable services.
All charges entered on this worksheet must comply with Pub. 15-I, sections 2202.4 and 2203. This
ratio is used on Worksheet D, Part V, for titles V and XIX and for title XVIII; Worksheet D-3;
Worksheet D-4; Worksheet H-3, Part II; and Worksheet J-2, Part II, to determine the program's share
of ancillary service costs in accordance with 42 CFR 413.53. This worksheet is also needed to
determine the adjusted total costs used on Worksheet D-1 because of your status as IPPS, TEFRA, or
other.
42 CFR 413.106(f)(3) provides that the costs of therapy services furnished under arrangements to a
hospital inpatient are exempt from the guidelines for physical therapy and respiratory therapy if such
costs are subject to the provisions of 42 CFR 413.40 (rate of increase ceiling) or 42 CFR Part 412
(inpatient prospective payment). However, therapy services furnished under arrangements to CAHs
are subject to the provisions of 413.106.
42 CFR 405.482(a)(2) provides that RCE limits do not apply to the costs of physician compensation
attributable to furnishing inpatient hospital services (provider component) paid for under 42 CFR
Part 412ff.
To facilitate the cost finding methodology, apply the therapy limits and RCE limits to total
departmental costs. This worksheet provides the mechanism for adjusting the costs after cost finding
to comply with 42 CFR 413.106(f)(3) and 42 CFR 415.70(a)(2). This is done by computing a series
of ratios in columns 9 through 11. In column 9, a ratio referred to as the "cost or other ratio" is
computed based on the ratio of total reasonable cost to total charges. This ratio is used by you or
your components not subject to IPPS or TEFRA (e.g., hospital-based SNFs and CAHs). Also use
this ratio for Part B services still subject to cost reimbursement. In column 10, compute a TEFRA
inpatient ratio. This ratio reflects the add-back of RT/PT limitations to total cost since TEFRA
inpatient costs are not subject to these limits. (TEFRA inpatient services are subject to RCE limits.)
In column 11, compute an IPPS inpatient ratio. This ratio reflects the add-back of RT/PT and RCE
limitations to total cost since inpatient hospital services covered by IPPS are not subject to any of
these limitations.
Column Descriptions
The following provider components may be subject to 42 CFR 413.40 or 42 CFR 412.1(a)ff:
o Hospital Part A inpatient services for title XVIII,
o Hospital subprovider Part A inpatient services for title XVIII,
o Hospital inpatient services for titles V and XIX, and
o Hospital subprovider services for titles V and XIX.
All components or portions of components not subject to IPPS, IPF PPS, IRF PPS, LTC PPS, or
TEFRA, e.g., CAH services, are classified as “Cost or Other.”
The following matrix summarizes the columns completed for Cost or Other, TEFRA Inpatient, and
IPPS:

Column 1--Enter on each line the amount from the corresponding line of Worksheet B, Part I,
column 26. Transfer the amount on line 92 from Worksheet D-1, Part IV, line 89, if you do not have
a distinct observation bed area. If you have a distinct observation bed area, subscript line 92 into line
92.01, and transfer the appropriate amount from Worksheet B, Part I, column 26. In a complex
comprised of an acute care hospital with an excluded unit(s) (excluded from IPPS), only the acute
care hospital may report observation bed costs. For RHC/FQHC costs identified on lines 88 and 89,
respectively, no cost or charges are reported on this worksheet for the RHC/FQHC. However, any
services provided by the RHC/FQHC outside the benefits package for those clinics are reported by
the hospital in its appropriate ancillary cost center, but not in the RHC/FQHC cost center lines 88
and 89. Do not bring forward any cost center with a credit balance from Worksheet B, Part I, column
26. However, report the charges applicable to such cost centers with a credit balance in column 6 of
the appropriate line on Worksheet C, Part I.
Column 2--Enter the amount of therapy limits applied to the cost center on lines 65 to 68. Obtain
these amounts from Worksheet A-8, lines 23, 24, 30 and 31 respectively.
NOTE: Complete this column only when the hospital or subprovider is subject to PPS or TEFRA
rate of increasing ceiling (see 42 CFR subpart N and P, respectively). If the hospital and
all subproviders have correctly indicated that their payment system is in the "other"
category on Worksheet S-2, do not complete columns 2 through 5, 10, and 11.
Column 3--Enter on each cost center line the sum of columns 1 and 2.
Column 4--Only complete this section if you or your subproviders are subject to IPPS, IPF PPS, IRF
PPS, or LTC PPS. Enter on each line the amount of the RCE disallowance. Obtain these amounts
from the sum of the amounts for the corresponding line on Worksheet A-8-2, column 17.
Column 5--Complete this section only if you or your subproviders are subject to PPS. Enter on each
cost center line the sum of the amounts entered in columns 3 and 4.
Columns 6 and 7--Enter on each cost center line the total inpatient and outpatient gross patient
charges including charity care for that cost center. Include in the appropriate cost centers items
reimbursed on a fee schedule (e.g., DME, oxygen, prosthetics, and orthotics). DME, oxygen, and
orthotic and prosthetic devices (except for enteral and parental nutrients and intraocular lenses
furnished by providers) are paid by the Part B contractor or the regional home health contractor on
the basis of the lower of the supplier’s actual charge or a fee schedule. Therefore, do not include
Medicare charges applicable to these items in the Medicare charges reported on Worksheet D-3 and
Worksheet D, Part V. However, include your standard customary charges for these items in total
charges reported on Worksheet C, Part I. This is necessary to avoid the need to split your
organizational cost centers such as medical supplies between those items paid on a fee basis and
those items subject to cost reimbursement.
40-128 Rev. 1
12-10 FORM CMS-2552-10 4023.1 (Cont.)
NOTE: For line 90, any ancillary service billed as clinic services must be reclassified to the
appropriate ancillary cost center, e.g., radiology-diagnostic, PBP clinical lab services -
program only. A similar adjustment must be made to program charges.
Enter on line 92 all observation bed charges for observation beds in the inpatient routine care area of
the hospital. These charges relate to all payer classes and include those observation bed charges for
patients released as outpatients and those patients admitted as inpatients. If you have a distinct
observation unit, report your gross charges on line 92.01 (which was subscripted on Worksheet A).
If the total charges for all patients for a department include a charge for the provider-based
physician’s professional component, then total and program charges used on Worksheets D, D-2, D-
3, and D-4 must also include the PBP’s professional component charge in order to correctly
apportion costs to the program. Similarly, when total charges on Worksheet C, Part I, for a
department are for provider services only, charges on Worksheets D, D-2, D-3, and D-4 must also
include provider services only. When reporting charges for a complex, e.g., hospital, subprovider,
SNF, charges for like services must be uniform. (See CMS Pub. 15-1, §§2203 and 2314 for the
exception dealing with grossing up of charges.)
When certain services are furnished under arrangements and an adjustment is made on Worksheet A-
8 to gross up costs, gross up the related charges entered on Worksheet C, Part I, in accordance with
CMS Pub. 15-1, §2314. If no adjustment is made on Worksheet A-8, show only the charges you
actually billed on Worksheet C, Part I.
NOTE: Any cost center that includes CRNA charges must exclude these charges unless the
hospital qualifies for the rural exception as outlined in §4010. All cost centers for which
CRNA costs are excluded on Worksheet A-8 must also exclude the charges associated
with these costs.
Column 8--Enter the total of columns 6 and 7.
Column 9, lines 50 through 98--Always complete this column. Divide the cost for each cost center
in column 1 by the total charges for the cost center in column 8 to determine the ratio of total cost to
total charges (referred to as the "Cost or Other" ratio) for that cost center. Enter the resultant
departmental ratios in this column. Round ratios to 6 decimal places.
Column 10, lines 50 through 98--Complete this section only when the hospital or its subprovider is
subject to the TEFRA rate of increase ceiling. (See 42 CFR 413.40.) Divide the amount reported in
column 3 (which represents the total cost adjusted for the add-back of amounts excluded on
Worksheet A-8 for the RT/PT limits) for each cost center by the total charges for the cost center in
column 8.
This computation determines the RT/PT adjusted ratio of cost to charges (referred to as the TEFRA
inpatient ratio) for each cost center. Enter the resultant departmental ratio. Round ratios to 6
decimal places.
Column 11, lines 50 through 98--Complete this section only when the hospital is subject to IPPS or
LTC PPS or when its subprovider is subject to its respective PPS reimbursement methodology. (See
42 CFR 412.1(a) through 412.125, 42 CFR subparts O, N, and P, respectively). Divide the amount
reported in column 5 (which represents the total cost adjusted for the add-back of amounts excluded
on Worksheet A-8 for the RT/PT and the RCE limits) for each cost center by the total charges for the
cost center in column 8.
This computation determines the RCE/RT/PT adjusted ratio of cost to charges (referred to as the PPS
Rev. 1 40-129
4023.1 (Cont.) FORM CMS-2552-10 12-10
inpatient ratio) for each cost center. Enter the resultant departmental ratio. Round ratios to 6
decimal places.
Line Descriptions
Lines 30 through 117--These cost centers have the same line numbers as the respective cost centers
on Worksheets A, B, and B-1. This design facilitates referencing throughout the cost report.
Therefore, if you have subscripted any lines on those worksheets, you must subscript the same lines
on this worksheet.
NOTE: The worksheet line numbers start at line 30 because of the line referencing feature.
Line 201--Enter the amounts from line 92. Calculate the observation bed cost on line 92 using the
routine cost per diem from Worksheet D-1 because it is part of routine costs and as such has been
included in the amounts reported on line 30 for the hospital. Therefore, in order to arrive at the total
allowable costs, subtract this cost to avoid reporting these costs twice.
Line 202--For each column, subtract line 201 from line 200, and enter the result.
NOTE: Since the charges on line 61 are also included on line 60, laboratory, the total charges on
line 200 are overstated by the amount on line 61.

Column 3--Divide the capital cost of each cost center in column 1 by the charges in column 2 for
each line to determine the cost to charge ratio. Round the ratios to six decimal places, e.g., round
0321514 to .032151. Enter the resultant departmental ratio in column 3.
Column 4--Enter on each line the appropriate title V, XVIII, Part A, or XIX inpatient charges from
Worksheet D-3, column 2. For title XVIII, enter on line 92 the observation bed charges applicable to
title XVIII patients subsequently admitted after being treated in the observation area. Enter on line
96 the Medicare charges for medical equipment rented by an inpatient. The charges are reimbursed
under the DRG. However, you are entitled to the capital-related cost pass through applicable to this
medical equipment.
NOTE: Program charges for PPS providers are reported in the cost reporting period in which the
discharge is reported. TEFRA providers report charges in the cost reporting period in
which they occur.
Do not include in Medicare charges any charges identified as MSP/LCC.
Column 5--Multiply the capital ratio in column 3 by the program charges in column 4 to determine

4024.3 Part III - Apportionment of Inpatient Routine Service Other Pass Through Costs--This part
computes the amount of pass through costs other than capital applicable to hospital inpatient routine
service costs. Determine capital-related inpatient routine service costs on Worksheet D, Part I.
Complete only one Worksheet D, Part III for each title. Report hospital, subprovider, hospital-based
SNF and NF/ICF-MR (if applicable) information on the same worksheet, lines as appropriate. SNFs
are now required to report medical education costs as a pass through cost.
Column 1--Enter on each line (after taking into consideration any post step down adjustments
applicable to medical education costs made after cost finding) the medical education cost for nursing
school (Worksheet S-2, Part I, line 62 is yes). Obtain these amounts from Worksheet B, Part I,
column 20, plus or minus post step down adjustments (reported on Worksheet B-2) applicable to
medical education costs for nursing school.
Column 2--Enter on each line (after taking into consideration any post step down adjustments
applicable to medical education costs made after cost finding) the medical education cost for
paramedical education (allied health) (Worksheet S-2, Part I, line 62 is yes). Obtain these amounts
from Worksheet B, Part I, column 23, plus or minus post step down adjustments (reported on
Worksheet B-2) applicable to medical education costs for paramedical education.
Column 3--This column represents all other medical education costs not identified in columns 1
through 2.
NOTE: If you qualify for the exception in 42 CFR 413.77, because this is the first cost reporting
period in which you are training residents in approved programs and the residents were not
on duty during the first month of this cost reporting period, then all direct graduate
medical education costs are reimbursed as a pass through based on reasonable cost. Enter
in column 3 the amount from Worksheet B, Part I, sum of columns 21 and 22 plus or
minus post step down adjustments (reported on Worksheet B-2) applicable to medical
graduate education costs.
Column 4--Compute the amount of the swing bed adjustment. If you have a swing bed agreement,
determine the amount for the cost center in which the swing beds are located by multiplying the sum
of the amounts in columns 1 through 3 by the ratio of the amount entered on Worksheet D-1, line 26
to the amount entered on Worksheet D-1, line 21.
Column 5--Enter the sum of columns 1 through 3 (including subscripts) minus column 4.
Column 6--Enter on each line the total patient days, excluding swing bed days, for that cost center.
Transfer these amounts from the appropriate Worksheet D, Part I, column 4. For SNFs enter total
patient days from worksheet S-3, Part I, column 8, line 19.
Column 7--Enter the per diem cost for each line by dividing the cost of each cost center in column 5
by the total patient days in column 6.
Column 8--Enter the program inpatient days for the applicable cost centers. Transfer these amounts
from the appropriate Worksheet D, Part I, column 6. For SNF (line 44) enter the program days from
worksheet S-3, Part I, column 6, line 19.
Column 9--Multiply the per diem cost in column 7 by the inpatient program days in column 8 to
determine the program's share of pass through costs applicable to inpatient routine services, as
applicable. Transfer the sum of the amounts on lines 30 through 35 and 43 to Worksheet D-1, line
50 for the hospital. If you are a title XVIII hospital paid under IPPS, also transfer this sum to
Worksheet E, Part A, line 57. Transfer the amounts on lines 40 through 42 to the appropriate

ICF/MR that follow Medicare principles, transfer the amount in column 9, line 44 to Worksheet E-3,
Part VI, line 2 or for NF or ICF/MR to Worksheet E-3, Part VII, line 22, as applicable.
4024.4 Part IV - Apportionment of Inpatient/Outpatient Ancillary Service Other Pass Through
Costs--The TEFRA rate of increase limitation applies to inpatient operating costs. In order to
determine inpatient operating costs, it is necessary to exclude capital-related and medical education
costs as these costs are reimbursed separately. Hospitals and subprovider components subject to
IPPS must also direct medical education costs as these costs are reimbursed separately. Determine
capital-related inpatient ancillary costs on Worksheet D, Part II. SNFs are required to report medical
education costs as a pass through cost. Prepare a separate Worksheet D, Part IV for the SNF and NF
or ICF/MR (if applicable). Hospital payment for outpatient services are made prospectively with the
exception of certain pass through costs identified on this worksheet.
This worksheet is provided to compute the amount of pass through costs other than capital applicable
to hospital inpatient and outpatient ancillary services for titles V, XVIII, Part A, and XIX. Complete
a separate copy of this worksheet for each subprovider for titles V, XVIII, Part A, and XIX, as
applicable. In this case, enter the subprovider component number in addition to showing the
provider number.

4025. WORKSHEET D-1 - COMPUTATION OF INPATIENT OPERATING COST
This worksheet provides for the computation of hospital inpatient operating cost in accordance with
42 CFR 413.53 (determination of cost of services to beneficiaries), 42 CFR 413.40 (ceiling on rate of
hospital cost increases), and 42 CFR 412.1 through 412.125 (prospective payment). All providers
must complete this worksheet.
Complete a separate copy of this worksheet for the hospital (including CAH), each subprovider,
hospital-based SNF, and hospital-based other nursing facility. Also, complete a separate copy of this
worksheet for each health care program under which inpatient operating costs are computed. When
this worksheet is completed for a component, show both the hospital and component numbers.
At the top of each page, indicate by checking the appropriate line the health care program, provider
component, and the payment system for which the page is prepared.
Worksheet D-1 consists of the following four parts:
Part I - All Provider Components
Part II - Hospital and Subproviders Only
Part III - Skilled Nursing Facility, Other Nursing Facility, and ICF/MR Only
Part IV - Computation of Observation Bed Pass Through Cost
NOTE: If you have made a swing bed election for your certified SNF, treat the SNF costs and
patient days as though they were hospital swing bed-SNF type costs and patient days on
Parts I and II of this worksheet. Do not complete Part III for the SNF. (See CMS Pub. 15-
1, §2230.9B.)
Definitions
The following definitions apply to days used on this worksheet.
Inpatient Day--The number of days of care charged to a beneficiary for inpatient hospital services is
always in documented units of full days. A day begins at midnight and ends 24 hours later. Use the
midnight to midnight method in reporting the days of care for beneficiaries even if the hospital uses a
different definition for statistical or other purposes.
A part of a day, including the day of admission, counts as a full day. However, do not count the day
of discharge or death, or a day on which a patient begins a leave of absence, as a day. If both
admission and discharge or death occur on the same day, consider the day a day of admission and
count it as one inpatient day.
Include a maternity patient in the labor/delivery room ancillary area at midnight in the census of the
inpatient routine (general or intensive) care area only if the patient has occupied an inpatient routine
bed at some time since admission. Count no days of inpatient routine care for a maternity inpatient
who is discharged (or dies) without ever occupying an inpatient routine bed. However, once a
maternity patient has occupied an inpatient routine bed, at each subsequent census include the patient
in the census of the inpatient routine care area to which she is assigned, even if the patient is located
in an ancillary area (labor/delivery room or another ancillary area) at midnight. In some cases, a
maternity patient may occupy an inpatient bed only on the day of discharge if the day of discharge
differs from the day of admission. For purposes of apportioning the cost of inpatient routine care,
count this single day of routine care as the day of admission (to routine care) and discharge. This day
is considered as one day of inpatient routine care. (See CMS Pub. 15-1, §2205.2.)
Rev. 1 40-141
4025 (Cont.) FORM CMS-2552-10 12-10
When an inpatient is occupying any other ancillary area (e.g., surgery or radiology) at the census
taking hour prior to occupying an inpatient bed, do not record the patient’s occupancy in the ancillary
area as an inpatient day in the ancillary area. However, include the patient in the inpatient census of
the routine care area.
When the patient occupies a bed in more than one patient care area in one day, count the inpatient
day only in the patient care area in which the patient was located at the census taking hour.
Newborn Inpatient Day--Newborn inpatient days are the days that an infant occupies a newborn bed
in the nursery. Include an infant remaining in the hospital after the mother is discharged who does
not occupy a newborn bed in the nursery, an infant delivered outside the hospital and later admitted
to the hospital but not occupying a newborn bed in the nursery, or an infant admitted or transferred
out of the nursery for an illness in inpatient days. Also, include an infant born in and remaining in
the hospital and occupying a newborn bed in the nursery after the mother is discharged in newborn
inpatient days.
Private Room Inpatient Day--Private room inpatient days are the days that an inpatient occupies a
private room. If you have only private rooms, report your days statistic as general inpatient days.
Inpatient private room days are used for computing any private room differential adjustment on
Worksheet D-1, Part I if you have a mixture of different type rooms to accommodate patients. Do
not count swing bed-SNF or swing bed-NF type services rendered in a private room as private room
days.
Inpatient Swing Bed Days--Inpatient swing bed days are the days applicable to swing bed-SNF or
swing bed-NF type services. See 413.53(a)(2)
Intensive Care Type Inpatient Days--Intensive care type inpatient days are those days applicable to
services rendered in intensive care type inpatient hospital units. These units must meet the
requirements specified in CMS Pub. 15-1, §2202.7.II.A.
NOTE: When you place overflow general care patients temporarily in an intensive care type
inpatient hospital unit because all beds available for general care patients are occupied,
count the days as intensive care type inpatient hospital days for purposes of computing the
intensive care type inpatient hospital unit per diem. However, count the program days as
general routine days in computing program reimbursement. (See CMS Pub. 15-1, §2217.)
Observation Beds--Observation beds, for purposes of this worksheet, are those beds in general
routine areas of the hospital which are not organized as a distinct, separately staffed observation area
and which are used to house patients for observation. These beds need not be used full time for
observation patients. These beds are not to be confused with a subintensive care unit (i.e., definitive
observation unit, a stepdown from intensive care reported as an inpatient cost center following
surgical intensive care (line 34)). If you have a distinct observation bed unit (an outpatient cost
center), report the costs of this unit on the subscripted line 92.01 on Worksheet A.
4025.1 Part I - All Provider Components--This part provides for the computation of the total
general inpatient routine service cost net of swing bed cost and private room cost differential for each
separate provider component. When this worksheet is completed for a component, show both the
hospital and component numbers.

MSP/LCC.
Line Descriptions
Lines 30 through 35--Enter the program charges from the PS&R or your records (hospital only).
Lines 40 through 42--Enter in column 2 the inpatient program charges for subproviders. For the
subprovider component do not complete lines 30-35. For the Hospital component do not complete
lines 40-42.
Lines 50 through 98--These cost centers have the same line numbers as the respective cost centers on
Worksheets A, B, B-1, and C. This design facilitates referencing throughout the cost report.
NOTE: The worksheet line numbers start with line 50 because of this referencing feature.
Line 200--Enter the total of the amounts in columns 2 and 3, lines 50 through 94 and 96 through 98.
In accordance with 42 CFR 413.53, this worksheet provides for the apportionment of cost applicable
to hospital inpatient services reimbursable under titles V, XVIII, Part A, and XIX. Complete a
separate copy of this worksheet for each subprovider, hospital-based SNF, swing bed-SNF, swing
bed-NF, and hospital-based NF for titles V, XVIII, Part A, and XIX, as applicable. Enter the
provider number of the component in addition to the hospital provider number when the worksheet is
completed for a component.
Column 1--Enter the ratio of cost to charges developed for each cost center from Worksheet C. The
ratios in columns 10 and 11 of Worksheet C are used only for hospital or subprovider components
for titles V, XVIII, Part A, and XIX inpatient services subject to the TEFRA rate of increase ceiling
(see 42 CFR 413.40) or PPS (see 42 CFR 412, Subpart N, O, or P), respectively. Use the ratios in

NOTE: Make no entries in columns 1 and 3 for any cost center with a negative balance on
Worksheet B, Part I, column 26. However, complete column 2 for such cost centers.
Column 2--Enter from the PS&R or your records the indicated program inpatient charges for the
appropriate cost centers. The hospital program inpatient charges exclude inpatient charges for swing
bed services. If gross combined charges for professional and provider components were used on
Worksheet C to determine the ratios entered in column 1 of this worksheet, then enter gross
combined charges applicable to each health care program in column 2. If charges for provider
component only were used, then use only the health care program charges for provider component in
column 2.
NOTE: Certified transplant centers (CTCs) have final settlement made based on the hospital’s cost
report. 42 CFR 413.40(c)(iii) states that organ acquisition costs incurred by hospitals
approved as CTCs are reimbursed on a reasonable cost basis. Other hospitals that excise
organs for transplant are no longer paid for this activity directly by Medicare. They must
receive payment from the organ procurement organization (OPO) or CTC. Therefore,
hospitals which are not CTCs do not have any program reimbursable costs or charges for
organ acquisition services. CTCs complete Worksheet D-4 for all organ acquisition costs.

CHARGES FOR HOSPITALS WHICH ARE CERTIFIED TRANSPLANT CENTERS
Only certified transplant centers (CTCs) are reimbursed directly by the Medicare program for organ
acquisition cost. This worksheet provides for the computation and accumulation of organ acquisition
costs and charges for CTCs. Check the appropriate box (heart, liver, lung, pancreas, intestine,
kidney, islet, or other organs - specify) to determine which organ acquisition cost is being computed.
Use a separate worksheet for each type of organ.
Hospitals that are not CTCs are not reimbursed by the Medicare program for organ acquisition costs
and do not complete this worksheet. Such hospitals have to obtain revenue by the sale of any organs
excised to an organ procurement organization (OPO) or CTC.
Worksheet D-4 consists of the following four parts:
Part I - Computation of Organ Acquisition Cost (Inpatient Routine and Ancillary Services)
Part II - Computation of Organ Acquisition Cost (Other than Inpatient Routine and
Ancillary Service Costs)
Part III - Summary of Costs and Charges

4029. WORKSHEET D-5 - APPORTIONMENT OF COST FOR THE SERVICES OF
TEACHING PHYSICIANS
This worksheet provides for the computation of the RCE limit by medical specialty and for the
apportionment of reimbursable adjusted cost to titles V, XVIII, and XIX for the direct medical and
surgical services, including the supervision of interns and residents, rendered by physicians to
patients in a teaching hospital which makes the election described in CMS Pub. 15-1, §2148.
NOTE: CAHs do not complete this worksheet.
If such election is made, direct medical and surgical services to program patients, including
supervision of interns and residents, rendered in a teaching hospital by physicians on the hospital
staff are reimbursable as provider services on a reasonable cost basis. In addition, certain medical
school costs may be reimbursed. Payments for services donated by volunteer physicians to program
patients are made to a fund designated by the organized medical staff the teaching hospital or
medical school.
Limits on the amount of physician compensation which may be recognized as a reasonable provider
cost are imposed in accordance with 42 CFR 415.70.
Worksheet D-5 consists of two parts:
Part I - Reasonable Compensation Equivalent Computation
Part II - Apportionment of Cost for the Services of Teaching Physicians
4029.1 Part I - Reasonable Compensation Equivalent Computation--This part provides for the
computation of the RCE limit by medical specialty of the physician on the hospital staff or physician
on the medical school faculty. Complete separate parts for the hospital staff physicians and for
physicians on the medical staff faculty. This part must be completed by applicable hospitals.
42 CFR 415.70(a)(2) provides that limits established under this section do not apply to costs of
physician compensation attributable to furnishing inpatient hospital services paid for under the
prospective payment system. (See 42 CFR Part 412.)
Limits established under this section apply to inpatient services subject to the TEFRA rate of
increase ceiling (see 42 CFR 413.40), outpatient services for all titles, and to title XVIII, Part B
inpatient services.
42 CFR 415.162 provides for the reimbursement of direct medical and surgical services to patients,
including supervision of interns and residents, rendered in a teaching hospital by physicians on the
faculty of a medical school where the hospital exercises the election as provided in 42 CFR 415.160.
Where several physicians work in the same specialty, see CMS Pub. 15-1, §2182.6C for a discussion
of applying the RCE limit in the aggregate for the specialty versus on an individual basis to each of
the physicians in the specialty.
When RCE limits are applied on an individual basis to each physician in a medical specialty, prepare
a supporting worksheet identical in columnar format to Worksheet D-5, Part I, for each medical
specialty. Enter on the first line under columns 1 and 9 the line number applicable to the medical
specialty (as displayed on Worksheet D-5, Part I). Enter the name of the medical specialty on the
first line in columns 2 and 10. Following the first line, use a separate line to compute the adjusted
cost of physician’s direct medical and surgical services (column 16) for each physician.

Enter the total amount from column 16 of the supporting worksheet in column 16 of the line on
Worksheet D-5, Part I, corresponding to the medical specialty for which the supporting worksheet is
prepared. If the individual physician method is used, list each physician using an individual
identifier that is not necessarily the name or social security number of the physician (e.g., Dr. A, Dr.
B). However, the identity of the physician must be made available to your contractor.
NOTE: The method used on Worksheet D-5 (i.e., aggregate or individual physician) must be the
same as the method used on Worksheet A-8-2.
Column Descriptions
Column 3--Enter for each medical specialty the amount of the total cost included in Worksheet A-8-
2, column 3. When the individual physician method is used, enter in column 3 of the supporting
worksheet the amount included on Worksheet A-8-2, column 3, for that physician.
Column 4--Enter for each medical specialty the amount of the cost included in Worksheet A-8-2,
column 4, for the direct medical and surgical services, including the supervision of interns and
residents by physicians on the hospital staff or by physicians on the faculty of a medical school, as
appropriate.
If the individual physician method is used, enter in column 4 of the supporting worksheet the amount
included on Worksheet A-8-2, column 4, for the indicated physician.
Column 5--Enter for each line of data the reasonable compensation equivalent (RCE) limit
applicable to the physician’s compensation. The amount entered is the limit applicable to the
physician specialty as published in CMS Pub. 15-1, §2182.6 before any allowable adjustments.
Section §2182.6.F of CMS Pub. 15-1 contains Table I - Estimates of FTE Annual Average Net
Compensation Levels for 1984. Obtain the RCE applicable to the specialty from this table. If the
physician specialty is not identified in the table, use the RCE for the total category in the table. The
beginning date of the cost reporting period determines which calendar year (CY) RCE is used. Your
location governs which of the three geographical categories are applicable: non-metropolitan areas,
metropolitan areas less than one million, or metropolitan areas greater than one million.
Column 6--Enter the physician’s hours allocated to professional services (i.e., professional
component hours) in all components (e.g., hospitals, subproviders) of the health care complex. If the
physician is paid for unused vacation, unused sick leave, etc., exclude the hours so paid from the
hours entered in this column. Time records or other documentation that supports this allocation must
be available for verification by your contractor upon request. (See CMS Pub. 15-1, §2182.3E.)
Column 7--Enter the unadjusted RCE limit for each line of data. This amount is the product of the
RCE amount entered in column 5 and the ratio of the physician’s professional component hours
entered in column 6 to 2080 hours.
Column 8--Enter for each line of data five percent of the amounts entered in column 7.
Column 11--You may adjust upward, up to five percent of the computed limit (column 8), the
computed RCE limit in column 7 to take into consideration the actual costs of membership for
physicians in professional societies and continuing education paid by the provider or medical school.
Enter for each line of data the actual amounts of these expenses paid by the provider or medical
school.
Column 12--Enter for each line of data the result of multiplying column 4 by column 11 and dividing
by column 3.

Column 13--You may also adjust upward the computed RCE limit in column 7 to reflect the actual
malpractice expense incurred by the provider or by the medical school, as appropriate, for the
services of a physician or group of physicians to provider patients. In making this adjustment, your
contractor determines the ratio of that portion of compensated physician time spent in furnishing
services in the provider (both to the provider and to provider patients) to the physician’s total
working time and adjusts the total malpractice expense proportionately.
Enter for each line of data the actual amounts of these malpractice expenses paid by the provider (or
medical school, if applicable).
Column 14--Enter for each line of data the result of multiplying column 4 by column 13 and dividing
by column 3.
Column 15--Enter for each line of data the sum of columns 7 and 14 plus the lesser of columns 8 or

Worksheet E, Parts A and B, calculate title XVIII settlement for inpatient hospital services under
inpatient PPS (IPPS) and title XVIII (Part B) settlement for medical and other health services.
Worksheet E-3 computes title XVIII, Part A settlement for non-IPPS hospitals, settlements under
titles V and XIX, and settlements for title XVIII SNFs reimbursed under a prospective payment
system. Worksheet E-4 computes total direct graduate medical education costs.
Worksheet E consists of the following two parts:
Part A - Inpatient Hospital Services Under PPS
Part B - Medical and Other Health Services
Application of Lesser of Reasonable Cost or Customary Charges--Worksheet E, Part B allows for the
computation of the lesser of reasonable costs or customary charges (LCC), where applicable, for
services covered under Part B. Make a separate computation on each of these worksheets. In
addition, make separate computations to determine whether the services on any or all of these
worksheets are exempt from LCC. For example, the provider may meet the nominality test for the
services on Worksheet E, Part B and, therefore, be exempt from LCC only for these services.
For those provider Part B services exempt from LCC for this reason, reimbursement for the affected
services is based on 80 percent of reasonable cost net of the Part B deductible amounts.

primary care residents that were on approved leaves of absence. (42 CFR 412.105(f)(1)(iv) and (xi)
respectively.) Temporarily reduce the FTE count of a hospital that closed a program(s), if the
regulations at 42 CFR 412.105(f)(1)(ix) are applicable. (effective 10/1/2001, see 42 CFR
413.79(h)(3)(ii)).
Line 6--Enter the FTE count for allopathic and osteopathic programs which meet the criteria for an
adjustment to the cap for new programs in accordance with 42 CFR 413.79(e). For hospitals
qualifying for a cap adjustment under 42 CFR 413.79(e)(1), the cap is effective beginning with the
fourth program year of the first new program accredited or begun on or after January 1, 1995. For
hospitals qualifying for a cap adjustment under 42 CFR 413.79(e)(2), the cap for each new program
accredited is effective in the fourth program year of each of those new programs (see 66 FR, August
1, 2001, page 39881). The cap adjustment reported on this line should not include any resident FTEs
that were already included in the cap on line 5. Also enter here the allopathic or osteopathic FTE
count for residents in all years of a rural track program that meet the criteria for an add-on to the cap
under 42 CFR 412.105(f)(1)(x). (If the rural track program is a new program under 42 CFR 413.79
and qualifies for a cap adjustment under 42 CFR 413.79(e)(1) or (3), do not report FTE residents in
the rural track program on this line until the fourth program year. Report these FTEs on line 15.
Line 7--Enter the adjustment (increase or decrease) to the FTE count for allopathic and osteopathic

displaced by the closure of another hospital or program, then also adjust the numerator of the prior
year ratio for the number of current year FTE residents that were displaced by hospital or program
closure (42 CFR 412.105(a)(1)(iii)). Also, in the cost reporting period following the last year the
receiving hospital’s FTE cap is temporarily adjusted for the displaced residents, adjust the numerator
of the prior year ratio by subtracting the displaced FTE residents reported on line 15 (line 3.17 if the
prior year cost report was the 2552-96) of the prior year’s cost report. (42 CFR 412.105 (a)(1)(iv).)

412.73),or the hospital-specific rate determined based on a Federal fiscal year 1987 base period.
(See 42 CFR 412.75.) Medicare dependent hospitals are paid the highest of the Federal payment
rate, or the Federal rate plus 75 percent of the amount of the excess over the Federal rate of the
highest rate for the 1982, 1987, 2002, or 2006 base period hospital specific rate. For SCHs and
Medicare dependent/small rural hospitals, enter the applicable hospital-specific payments.
For sole community hospitals only, the hospital-specific payment amount entered on this line is
supplied by your contractor. Calculate it by multiplying the sum of the DRG weights for the period
(per the PS&R) by the final per discharge hospital-specific rate for the period. For new hospital
providers established after 1987, do not complete this line. Use the hospital specific rate based on
the higher of the cost reporting periods beginning in FY 1982, 1987, or 1996.
Additionally, for sole community hospitals only (effective for cost reporting periods beginning on or
after January 1, 2009), use the hospital specific rate based on the higher of the cost reporting periods
beginning in FY 1982, 1987, 1996, or 2006. (See 42 CFR 412.78.)
For MDH discharges occurring on or after October 1, 2006, and before October 1, 2012, an MDH

which Medicare payment is secondary to a primary payer:
• Workmens' compensation,
• No fault coverage,
• General liability coverage,
• Working aged provisions,
• Disability provisions, and
• Working ESRD provisions.
Generally, when payment by the primary payer satisfies the total liability of the program beneficiary,
for cost reporting purposes only, treat the services as if they were non-program services. (The
primary payment satisfies the beneficiary's liability when you accept that payment as payment in full.
This is noted on no-pay bills submitted by you in these situations.) Include the patient days and
charges in total patient days and charges but do not include them in program patient days and
charges. In this situation, enter no primary payer payment on line 60. In addition, exclude amounts
paid by other primary payers for outpatient dialysis services reimbursed under the composite rate
system.
However, when the payment by the primary payer does not satisfy the beneficiary's obligation, the
program pays the lesser of (a) the amount it otherwise pays (without regard to the primary payer
payment or deductible and coinsurance) less the primary payer payment, or (b) the amount it
otherwise pays (without regard to the primary payer payment or deductible and coinsurance) less
applicable deductible and coinsurance. Credit primary payer payment toward the beneficiary's

• Working aged provisions,
• Disability provisions, and
• Working ESRD provisions.
Generally, when payment by the primary payer satisfies the total liability of the program beneficiary,
the services are treated as if they were non-program services for cost reporting purposes only. (The
primary payment satisfies the beneficiary's liability when you accept that payment as payment in full.
This is noted on no-pay bills submitted in these situations.) Include the patient charges in total
charges but not in program charges. In this situation, enter no primary payer payment on line 31. In
addition, exclude amounts paid by other primary payers for outpatient dialysis services reimbursed
under the composite rate system.
However, when the payment by the primary payer does not satisfy the beneficiary's obligation, the
program pays the lesser of (a) the amount it otherwise pays (without regard to the primary payer
payment or deductible and coinsurance) less the primary payer payment, or (b) the amount it
otherwise pays (without regard to the primary payer payment or deductible and coinsurance) less
applicable deductible and coinsurance. Credit primary payer payment toward the beneficiary's

RENDERED
4031.1 Part I - Analysis of Payments to Providers for Services Rendered--
Complete this worksheet for each component of the health care complex which has a separate
provider or subprovider number as shown on Worksheet S-2. If you have more than one hospital-
based subprovider, complete a separate worksheet for each facility. When the worksheet is
completed for a component, show both the hospital provider number and the component number.
Complete this worksheet for only Medicare interim payments by the contractor. Do not complete it
for purposes of reporting interim payments for titles V or XIX or for reporting payments made under
the composite rate for ESRD services. Providers paid on an interim basis on periodic interim
payment (PIP) adjust the interim payments for MSP/LCC claims.
The following components use the indicated worksheet instead of Worksheet E-1:
• Hospital-based HHAs use Worksheet H-5.
• Hospital-based outpatient rehabilitation facilities use Worksheet J-4.
The column headings designate two categories of payments:
Columns 1 and 2 - Inpatient Part A
Columns 3 and 4 - Part B
Complete lines 1 through 4. The remainder of the worksheet is completed by your contractor. All
amounts reported on this worksheet must be for services, the costs of which are included in this cost
report.
NOTE: When completing the heading, enter the provider number and the component number
which corresponds to the provider, subprovider, SNF, or swing bed-SNF which you
indicated.
DO NOT reduce any interim payments by recoveries as result of medical review
adjustments where the recoveries were based on a sample percentage applied to the
universe of claims reviewed and the PS&R was not also adjusted.
DO NOT include fee-schedule payments for ambulance services rendered.

4033.1 Part I - Calculation of Medicare Reimbursement Settlement Under TEFRA--Use
Worksheet E-3, Part I to calculate Medicare reimbursement settlement under TEFRA (includes
cancer and children’s hospitals) for hospitals and subproviders.
Use a separate copy of Worksheet E-3, Part I for each of these reporting situations. Enter check
marks in the appropriate spaces at the top of each page of Worksheet E-3, Part I to indicate the
component for which it is used. When the worksheet is completed for a component, show both the
hospital and component numbers.
Line Descriptions
Line 1--Enter (for TEFRA hospitals and subproviders) the amount from Worksheet D-1, Part II, line
63.
Line 2--If you are an approved CTC, enter the cost of organ acquisition from Worksheet(s) D-4, Part
III, column 1, line 69 when Worksheet E-3, Part I, is completed for the hospital (or the hospital
component of a health care complex). Make no entry on line 2 in other situations because the
Medicare program reimburses only CTCs for organ acquisition costs.
Line 3--For hospitals or subproviders that have elected to be reimbursed for the services of teaching
physicians on the basis of cost, enter the amount from Worksheet D-5, Part II, column 3, line 20.
Line 4--Enter the sum of lines 1, 2 and 3.
Line 5--Enter the amounts paid or payable by workmens' compensation and other primary payers
when program liability is secondary to that of the primary payer. There are six situations under
which Medicare payment is secondary to a primary payer:
• Workmens' compensation,
• No fault coverage,
• General liability coverage,
• Working aged provisions,
• Disability provisions, and
• Working ESRD provisions.
Generally, when payment by the primary payer satisfies the total liability of the program beneficiary,
for cost reporting purposes only, the services are treated as if they were non-program services. (The
primary payment satisfies the beneficiary's liability when you accept that payment as payment in full.
Rev. 1 40-189
4033.1 (Cont.) FORM CMS-2552-10 12-10
This is noted on no-pay bills submitted in these situations.) Include the patient days and charges in
total patient days and charges but do not include them in program patient days and charges. In this
situation, enter no primary payer payment on line 5. In addition, exclude amounts paid by other
primary payers for outpatient dialysis services reimbursed under the composite rate system.
However, when the payment by the primary payer does not satisfy the beneficiary's obligation, the
program pays the lesser of (a) the amount it otherwise pays (without regard to the primary payer
payment or deductible and coinsurance) less the primary payer payment, or (b) the amount it
otherwise pays (without regard to primary payer payment or deductibles and coinsurance) less
applicable deductible and coinsurance. Primary payer payment is credited toward the beneficiary's
deductible and coinsurance obligation.
When the primary payment does not satisfy the beneficiary's liability, include the covered days and
charges in program days and charges, and include the total days and charges in total days and charges
for cost apportionment purposes. Enter the primary payer payment on line 5 to the extent that
primary payer payment is not credited toward the beneficiary's deductible and coinsurance.
Do not enter on line 5 primary payer payments credited toward the beneficiary's deductible and
coinsurance.
Line 6--Enter line 4 minus line 5.
Line 7--Enter the Part A deductibles.
Line 8--Enter line 6 less line 7.
Line 9--Enter the Part A coinsurance. Include any primary payer amounts applied to Medicare
beneficiaries coinsurance in situations where the primary payer payment does not fully satisfy the
obligation of the beneficiary to the provider. Do not include any primary payer payments applied to
Medicare beneficiary coinsurance in situations where the primary payer payment fully satisfies the
obligation of the beneficiary to the provider.
Line 10--Enter the result of subtracting line 9 from line 8.
Line 11--Enter program allowable bad debts reduced by recoveries. If recoveries exceed the current
year’s bad debts, lines 11 and 12 will be negative.
Line 12--Multiply the amount (including negative amounts) from line 11 by 70 percent.
Line 13--Enter the gross allowable bad debts for dual eligible beneficiaries. This amount is reported
for statistical purposes only. This amount must also be reported on line 11.
Line 14--Enter the sum of lines 10 and 12.
Line 15--Enter the amount from Worksheet E-4, line 49 for the hospital component only.
Line 16--Enter the routine service other pass through costs from Worksheet D, Part III, column 9,
line 30 for a freestanding facility or lines 40 through 42, as applicable, for the corresponding
subproviders. Add to this amount the ancillary service other pass through costs from Worksheet D,

which Medicare payment is secondary to a primary payer:
• Workmens' compensation,
• No fault coverage,
• General liability coverage,
• Working aged provisions,
• Disability provisions, and
• Working ESRD provisions.
Generally, when payment by the primary payer satisfies the total liability of the program beneficiary,
for cost reporting purposes only, the services are treated as if they were non-program services. (The
primary payment satisfies the beneficiary's liability when you accept that payment as payment in full.
This is noted on no-pay bills submitted in these situations.) Include the patient days and charges in
total patient days and charges but do not include them in program patient days and charges. In this
situation, enter no primary payer payment on line 17. In addition, exclude amounts paid by other
primary payers for outpatient dialysis services reimbursed under the composite rate system.

payment or deductible and coinsurance) less the primary payer payment, or (b) the amount it
otherwise pays (without regard to primary payer payment or deductibles and coinsurance) less
applicable deductible and coinsurance. Primary payer payment is credited toward the beneficiary's
deductible and coinsurance obligation.
When the primary payment does not satisfy the beneficiary's liability, include the covered days and
charges in program days and charges, and include the total days and charges in total days and charges
for cost apportionment purposes. Enter the primary payer payment on line 17 to the extent that

4034. WORKSHEET E-4 - DIRECT GRADUATE MEDICAL EDUCATION (GME) AND
ESRD OUTPATIENT DIRECT MEDICAL EDUCATION COSTS
Use this worksheet to calculate each program's payment (i.e., titles XVIII, V, and XIX) for direct
graduate medical education (GME) costs as determined under 42 CFR 413.75 through 413.83. This
worksheet applies to the direct graduate medical education cost applicable to interns and residents in
approved teaching programs in hospitals and hospital-based providers. Complete this worksheet if
the response to line 55 of Worksheet S-2 is yes. The direct medical education costs of the nursing
school and paramedical education programs continue to be paid on a reasonable cost basis as
determined under 42 CFR 413.85. However, the nursing school and paramedical education costs,
formerly paid through the ESRD composite rate as an exception, are paid on this worksheet on the
basis of reasonable cost under 42 CFR 413.85. Effective for cost reporting periods beginning on or
after October 1, 1997 the unweighted direct graduate medical education FTE is limited to the
hospital’s FTE count for the most recent cost reporting period ending on or before December 31,
1996. This limit applies to allopathic and osteopathic residents but excludes dentistry and podiatry.
The GME payment is also based on the inclusion of Medicare HMO patients treated in the hospital.
This worksheet will also calculate payment for direct GME as determined under 42 CFR
413.79(c)(3) and (4) and IME as determined under 42 CFR 412.105(f)(1)(iv)(B) and (C) for hospitals
that received an adjustment (reduction or increase) to their FTE resident caps for direct GME and/or
IME under Section 422 of Public Law 108-173.
NOTE: Do not complete this worksheet for a cost reporting period prior to the base period used for
calculating the per resident amount (PRA) in situations where the hospital did not train
residents in approved residency training programs or did not participate in the Medicare
program during the base period but either condition changed in a cost reporting period
beginning on or after July 1, 1985. 42 CFR 413.77(e)(1) specified that in this situation,
any GME costs for the cost reporting period prior to the base period are reimbursed on a
reasonable cost basis.
Also, do not complete this worksheet for residents training in the general acute care part of
a CAH since the associated costs are reimbursed on a reasonable cost basis. However,
complete this worksheet for residents training in an IPF or an IRF unit of a CAH.
Complete this worksheet if this is the first month in which residents were on duty during the first
month of the cost reporting period or if residents were on duty during the entire prior cost reporting
period. (See 42 CFR 413.77(d).)
This worksheet consists of five sections:
1. Computation of Total Direct GME Amount
2. Computation of Program Patient Load
3. Direct Medical Education Costs for ESRD Composite Rate - Title XVIII only
4. Apportionment of Medicare Reasonable Cost (title XVIII only)
5. Allocation of Medicare Direct GME Costs Between Part A and Part B
Computation of Total Direct GME Amount--This section computes the total approved amount.
Line Descriptions
Line 1--Enter the unweighted resident FTE count for allopathic and osteopathic programs for the
most recent cost reporting period ending on or before December 31, 1996. If this cost report is less

percent increase to the count for qualified rural hospitals (42 CFR 413.79(c)(2)(i)), and the increase
due to primary care residents that were on approved leaves of absence (42 CFR 413.79(i)).
Temporarily reduce the cap of a hospital that closed a program(s), if the regulations at 42 CFR
413.79(h)(3)(ii) are applicable. (Effective 10/1/2001.)

effective beginning with the fourth program year of the first new program accredited or begun on or
after January 1, 1995. For hospitals qualifying for a cap adjustment under 42 CFR 413.79(e)(2), the
cap for each new program accredited or begun on or after January 1, 1995 and before August 6,
1997, is effective in the fourth program year of each of those new programs (see 66 FR August 1,
2001, 39881). The cap adjustment reported on this line should not include any resident FTEs that
were already included in the cap on line 1. Also enter the unweighted allopathic or osteopathic FTE
count for residents in all years of the rural track program that meet the criteria for an add-on to the

4041. WORKSHEET H - ANALYSIS OF PROVIDER-BASED HOME HEALTH AGENCY
COSTS
This worksheet provides for the recording of direct HHA costs such as salaries, fringe benefits,
transportation, and contracted services as well as other costs from your accounting books and records
to arrive at the identifiable agency cost. This data is required by 42 CFR 413.20. It also provides for
the necessary reclassifications and adjustments to certain accounts prior to the cost finding
calculations. Obtain these direct costs from your records in columns 1, 2 and 4. All of the cost
centers listed do not apply to all agencies.
The HHA must maintain the records necessary to determine the split in salary (and employee-related
benefits) between two or more cost centers and must adequately substantiate the method used to split
the salary and employee-related benefits. These records must be available for audit by your
contractor. Your contractor can accept or reject the method used to determine the split in salary.
Any deviation or change in methodology to determine splits in salary and employee benefits must be
requested in writing and approved by your contractor before any change is effectuated. Where
approval of a method has been requested in writing and this approval has been received (prior to the
beginning of the cost reporting period), the approved method remains in effect for the requested
period and all subsequent periods until you request in writing to change to another method or until
your contractor determines that the method is no longer valid due to changes in your operations.
Column 1--Enter all salaries and wages (a salary is gross amount paid to the employee before taxes
and other items are withheld, including deferred compensation, overtime, incentive pay, and
bonuses. (See CMS Pub. 15-1, chapter 21.)) For the HHA in this column for the actual work
performed within the specific area or cost center. For example, if the administrator spends 100
percent of his/her time in the HHA and performs skilled nursing care which accounts for 25 percent
of that person’s time, then 75 percent of the administrator’s salary (and any employee-related
benefits) is entered on line 5 (administrative and general-HHA) and 25 percent of the administrator’s
salary (and any employee-related benefits) is entered on line 6 (skilled nursing care). Enter the sum
of column 1, lines 1 through 23 on line 24.
Column 2--Enter all payroll-related employee benefits for the HHA in the appropriate cost center in
this column. See CMS Pub. 15-1, §§2144 - 2145 for a definition of fringe benefits. Entries are
made using the same basis as that used for reporting salaries and wages in column 1. Therefore, 75
percent of the administrator’s payroll-related fringe benefits is entered on line 5 (administrative and
general - HHA) and 25 percent of the administrator’s payroll-related fringe benefits is entered on line
6 (skilled nursing care). Enter the sum of column 2, lines 1 through 23 on line 24.
Report payroll-related employee benefits in the cost center where the applicable employee’s
compensation is reported. This assignment is performed on an actual basis or upon the following
basis:
• FICA based on actual expense by cost center;
• Pension and retirement and health insurance (non union) based on gross salaries of
participating individuals by cost centers;
• Union health and welfare based on gross salaries of participating union members by cost
center; and
• All other payroll-related benefits based on gross salaries by cost center.
40-226 Rev. 1
12-10 FORM CMS-2552-10 4041 (Cont.)
Include nonpayroll-related employee benefits in the administrative and general-HHA cost center.
Costs for such items as personal education, recreation activities, and day care are included in the
administrative and general - HHA cost center.
Column 3--If the transportation costs, i.e., owning or renting vehicles, public transportation
expenses, or payments to employees for driving their private vehicles can be directly assigned to a
particular cost center, enter those costs in the appropriate cost center. If these costs are not
identifiable to a particular cost center, enter them on line 4. Enter the sum of column 3, lines 1
through 23 on line 24.
Column 4--Enter the contracted and purchased services amounts in the appropriate cost center in this
column. If a contracted/purchased service covers more than one cost center, then include the amount
applicable to each cost center on each affected cost center line. Enter the sum of column 4, lines 1
through 23 on line 24.
Column 5--From your books and records, enter on the applicable lines all other identifiable costs
which have not been reported in columns 1 through 4. Enter the sum of column 5, lines 1 through 23
on line 24.
Column 6--Add the amounts in columns 1 through 5 for each cost center, and enter the totals in
column 6.
Column 7--Enter any reclassifications among the cost center expenses listed in column 6 which are
needed to effect proper cost allocation. This column need not be completed by all providers, but is
completed only to the extent reclassifications are needed and appropriate in the particular
circumstances. Show reductions to expenses as negative amounts.
Column 8--Add column 7 to column 6, and extend the net balances to column 8.
Column 9--In accordance with 42 CFR 413ff, enter on the appropriate lines the amounts of any
adjustments to expenses required under the Medicare principles of reimbursement. (See §4016.)
Column 10--Adjust the amounts in column 8 by the amounts in column 9, and extend the net balance
to column 10.
Transfer the amounts in column 10, lines 1 through 24, to the corresponding lines on Worksheet H-1,
Part I, column 0.
Line Descriptions
Lines 1 and 2--These cost centers include depreciation, leases and rentals for the use of facilities
and/or equipment, interest incurred in acquiring land or depreciable assets used for patient care,
insurance on depreciable assets used for patient care, and taxes on land or depreciable assets used for
patient care.
Line 3--Enter the direct expenses incurred in the operation and maintenance of the plant and
equipment, maintaining general cleanliness and sanitation of the plant, and protecting employees,
visitors, and agency property.
Line 4--Enter all of the cost of transportation except those costs previously directly assigned in
column 3. This cost is allocated during the cost finding process.
Rev. 1 40-227
4041 (Cont.) FORM CMS-2552-10 12-10
Line 5--Use this cost center to record the expenses of several costs which benefit the entire facility.
Examples include fiscal services, legal services, accounting, data processing, taxes, and malpractice
costs.
Line 6--Skilled nursing care is a service that must be provided by or under the supervision of a
registered nurse. The complexity of the service, as well as the condition of the patient, are factors to
be considered when determining whether skilled nursing services are required. Additionally, the
skilled nursing services must be required under the plan of treatment.
Line 7--Enter the direct costs of physical therapy services by or under the direction of a registered
physical therapist as prescribed by a physician. The therapist provides evaluation, treatment
planning, instruction, and consultation.
Line 8--These services include (1) teaching of compensatory techniques to permit an individual with
a physical impairment or limitation to engage in daily activities; (2) evaluation of an individual's
level of independent functioning; (3) selection and teaching of task-oriented therapeutic activities to
restore sensory-integrative function; and (4) assessment of an individual's vocational potential,
except when the assessment is related solely to vocational rehabilitation.
Line 9--These are services for the diagnosis and treatment of speech and language disorders that
create difficulties in communication.
Line 10--These services include (1) assessment of the social and emotional factors related to the
individual's illness, need for care, response to treatment, and adjustment to care furnished by the
facility; (2) casework services to assist in resolving social or emotional problems that may have an
adverse effect on the beneficiary's ability to respond to treatment; and (3) assessment of the
relationship of the individual's medical and nursing requirements to his or her home situation,
financial resources, and the community resources available upon discharge from facility care.
Line 11--Enter the cost of home health aide services. The primary function of a home health aide is
the personal care of a patient. The services of a home health aide are given under the supervision of
a registered professional nurse and, if appropriate, a physical, speech, or occupational therapist. The
assignment of a home health aide to a case must be made in accordance with a written plan of
treatment established by a physician which indicates the patient's need for personal care services. The
specific personal care services to be provided by the home health aide must be determined by a
registered professional nurse and not by the home health aide.
Line 12--The cost of medical supplies reported in this cost center are those costs which are directly
identifiable supplies furnished to individual patients and for which a separate charge is made. These
supplies are generally specified in the patient’s plan of treatment and furnished under the specific
direction of the patient’s physician.
Medical supplies which are not reported on this line are those minor medical and surgical supplies
which would not be expected to be specifically identified in the plan of treatment or for which a
separate charge is not made. These supplies (e.g., cotton balls, alcohol prep) are items that are
frequently furnished to patients in small quantities (even though in certain situations, these items
may be used in greater quantity) and are reported in the administrative and general (A&G) cost
center.
Line 13--Enter the costs of vaccines exclusive of the cost of administering the vaccines. A visit by
an HHA nurse for the sole purpose of administering a vaccine is not covered as an HHA visit under
the home health benefit, even though the patient may be an eligible home health beneficiary
receiving services under a home health plan of treatment. Section 1862(a)(1)(B) of the Act excludes
Medicare coverage of vaccines and their administration other than the Part B coverage contained in
§1861 of the Act.
40-228 Rev. 1
12-10 FORM CMS-2552-10 4041 (Cont.)
If the vaccine is administered in the course of an otherwise covered home health visit, the visit is
covered as usual, but the cost and charges for the vaccine and its administration must be excluded
from the cost and charges of the visit. The HHA is entitled to separate payment for the vaccine and
its administration under the Part B vaccine benefit.
The cost of administering pneumococcal, influenza, and hepatitis B vaccines is reimbursed under the
outpatient prospective payment system (OPPS), but the actual cost of the pneumococcal, influenza,
and hepatitis B vaccines are cost reimbursed. Additionally, the cost of administering the
osteoporosis drugs are included in the skilled nursing visit while the actual cost of the osteoporosis
drug is reimbursed at reasonable cost.
Enter on this line the vaccine and drug cost (exclusive of the cost to administer these vaccines)
incurred for pneumococcal, influenza, and hepatitis B vaccines as well as osteoporosis drugs.
Some of the expenses includable in this cost center are the costs of syringes, cotton balls, bandages,
etc., but the cost of travel is not permissible as a cost of administering vaccines, nor is the travel cost
includable in the A&G cost center. The travel cost is non-reimbursable. Attach a schedule detailing
the methodology employed to develop the administration of these vaccines. These vaccines are
reimbursable under Part B only.
Line 14--Enter the direct expenses incurred in renting or selling durable medical equipment (DME)
items to the patient for the purpose of carrying out the plan of treatment. Also, include all the direct
expenses incurred by you in requisitioning and issuing the DME to patients.
Lines 15-23--Lines 15-23 identify nonreimbursable services commonly provided by a home health
agency. These include home dialysis aide services (line 15), respiratory therapy (line 16), private
duty nursing (line 17), clinic (line 18), health promotion activities (line 19), day care program (line
20), home delivered meals program (line 21), and homemaker service (line 22). The cost of all other
nonreimbursable services are aggregated on line 23. If you are reporting costs for telemedicine, these
costs are to be reported on line 23.50. Use this line throughout all applicable worksheets.

4042. WORKSHEET H-1 - COST ALLOCATION - HHA GENERAL SERVICE COST
Worksheet H-1, Part I, provides for the allocation of the expenses of each HHA general service cost
center to those cost centers which receive the services. The cost centers serviced by the general
service cost centers include all cost centers within the home health agency, i.e., other general service
cost centers, reimbursable cost centers, and nonreimbursable cost centers. Obtain the total direct
expenses from Worksheet H, column 10. To facilitate transferring amounts from Worksheet H to
Worksheet H-1, Part I, the same cost centers with corresponding line numbers (lines 1 through 24)
are listed on both worksheets.
Worksheet H-1, Part II, provides for the proration of the statistical data needed to equitably allocate
the expenses of the home health agency general service cost centers on Worksheet H-1, Part I. If
there is a difference between the total accumulated costs reported on the Part II statistics and the total
accumulated costs calculated on Part I, use the reconciliation column on Part II for reporting any
adjustments. See §4020 for the appropriate usage of the reconciliation columns. For componentized
A&G cost centers, the accumulated cost center line number must match the reconciliation column
number.
To facilitate the allocation process, the general format of Parts I and II are identical. The column and
line numbers for each general service cost center are identical on both parts. In addition, the line
numbers for each general, reimbursable, and nonreimbursable cost centers are identical on the two
parts of the worksheet. The cost centers and line numbers are also consistent with Worksheet H.
The statistical bases shown at the top of each column on Worksheet H-1, Part II, are the
recommended bases of allocation of the cost centers indicated. If a different basis of allocation is
used, the provider must indicate the basis of allocation actually used at the top of the column.
Most cost centers are allocated on different statistical bases. However, for those cost centers where
the basis is the same (e.g., square feet), the total statistical base over which the costs are to be
allocated will differ because of the prior elimination of cost centers that have been closed.
When closing the general service cost center, first close those cost centers that render the most
services to and receive the least services from other cost centers. The cost centers are listed in this
sequence from left to right on the worksheet. However, the circumstances of an agency may be such
that a more accurate result is obtained by allocating to certain cost centers in a sequence different
from that followed on these worksheets.
NOTE: An HHA wishing to change its allocation basis for a particular cost center or the order in
which the cost centers are allocated must make a written request to its contractor for
approval of the change and submit reasonable justification for such change prior to the
beginning of the cost reporting period for which the change is to apply. The effective date
of the change is the beginning of the cost reporting period for which the request has been
made. (See CMS Pub. 15-1, chapter 23.) In requesting the change, the agency must
establish that the alternate basis or sequence of allocation is more accurate than that
indicated on the official form. A mere demonstration that a cost allocation is different is
not adequate to establish that it is more accurate.
EXCEPTION: A small HHA, as defined in 42 CFR 413.24(d), does not have to request written
permission to use the procedures outlined for small HHAs below.
40-230 Rev. 1
12-10 FORM CMS-2552-10 4042 (Cont.)
On Worksheet H-1, Part II, enter on the first line in the column of the cost center the total statistics
applicable to the cost center being allocated (e.g., in column 1, capital-related - buildings and
fixtures, enter on line 1 the total square feet of the building on which depreciation was taken). Use
accumulated cost for allocating administrative and general expenses.
Such statistical base does not include any statistics related to services furnished under arrangements
except where both Medicare and non-Medicare costs of arranged for services are recorded in your
records.
For all cost centers (below the cost center being allocated) to which the service rendered is being
allocated, enter that portion of the total statistical base applicable to each. The total sum of the
statistical base applied to each cost center receiving the services rendered must equal the total
statistics entered on the first line.
Enter on Worksheet H-1, Part II, line 25, the total expenses of the cost center to be allocated. Obtain
this amount from Worksheet H-1, Part I, from the same column, line 24. In the case of capital-
related costs - buildings and fixtures, this amount is on Worksheet H-1, Part I, column 1, line 1. On
Worksheet H-1 exclude from line 24 for each column the first line of that column which is used to
compute the unit cost multiplier on line 26 of Worksheet H-1, Part II. On Worksheet H-1, Part I, the
first line of each column and the corresponding line 24 of the column must match.
Divide the amount entered on Worksheet H-1, Part II, line 25 by the total statistical base entered in
the same column on the first line. Enter the resulting unit cost multiplier on line 26. Round the unit
cost multiplier to six decimal places.
Multiply the unit cost multiplier by that portion of the total statistical base applicable to each cost
center receiving the services rendered. Enter the result of each computation on Worksheet H-1, Part
I, in the corresponding column and line.
After the unit cost multiplier has been applied to all the cost centers receiving costs, the total
expenses (line 24) of all of the cost centers receiving the allocation on Worksheet H-1, Part I, must
equal the amount entered on the first line of the cost center being allocated.
The preceding procedures must be performed for each general service cost center. Each cost center
must be completed on both Part I and Part II before proceeding to the next cost center.
After all the costs of the general service cost centers have been allocated on Worksheet H-1, Part I,
enter in column 6, line 24 the sum of the expenses on lines 6 through 23. The total expenses entered
in column 6, line 24, equals the total expenses entered in column 0, line 24.
Column Descriptions
Column 1--Depreciation on buildings and fixtures and expenses pertaining to buildings and fixtures
such as insurance, interest, rent, and real estate taxes are combined in this cost center to facilitate
cost allocation. Allocate all expenses to the cost centers on the basis of square feet of area occupied.
The square footage may be weighted if the person who occupies a certain area of space spends their
time in more than one function. For example, if a person spends 10 percent of time in one function,
20 percent in another function, and 70 percent in still another function, the square footage may be
weighted according to the percentages of 10 percent, 20 percent, and 70 percent to the applicable
functions.
Rev. 1 40-231
4042 (Cont.) FORM CMS-2552-10 12-10
If an HHA occupies more than one building (e.g., several branch offices), it may allocate the
depreciation and related expenses by building, using a supportive worksheet showing the detail
allocation and transferring the accumulated costs by cost center to Worksheet B, column 2.
Column 2--Allocate all expenses (e.g., interest, personal property tax) for movable equipment to the
appropriate cost centers on the basis of square feet of area occupied or dollar value.
Column 3--Allocate all expenses for plant operation and maintenance based on square feet or dollar
value.
Column 4--The cost of vehicles owned or rented by the agency and all other transportation costs
which were not directly assigned to another cost center on Worksheet H, column 3, is included in
this cost center. Allocate this expense to the cost centers to which it applies on the basis of miles
applicable to each cost center.
This basis of allocation is not mandatory and a provider may use weighted trips rather than actual
miles as a basis of allocation for transportation costs which are not directly assigned. However, an
HHA must request the use of the alternative method in accordance with CMS Pub. 15-1, §2313. The
HHA must maintain adequate records to substantiate the use of this allocation.
Column 5--The A&G expenses are allocated on the basis of accumulated costs after reclassifications
and adjustments. Therefore, obtain the amounts to be entered on Worksheet H-1, Part II, column 5,
from Worksheet H-1, Part I, columns 0 through 4.
A negative cost center balance in the statistics for allocating A&G expenses causes an improper
distribution of this overhead cost center. Negative balances are excluded from the allocation
statistics when A&G expenses are allocated on the basis of accumulated cost.
A&G costs applicable to contracted services may be excluded from the total cost (Worksheet H-1,
Part I, column 0) for purposes of determining the basis of allocation (Worksheet H-1, Part II, column
5) of the A&G costs. This procedure may be followed when the HHA contracts for services to be
performed for the HHA and the contract identifies the A&G costs applicable to the purchased
services. The contracted A&G costs must be added back to the applicable cost center after allocation
of the HHA A&G cost before the reimbursable costs are transferred to Worksheet H-2. A separate
worksheet must be included to display the breakout of the contracted A&G costs from the applicable
cost centers before allocation and the adding back of these costs after allocation. Contractor
approval does not have to be secured in order to use the above described method of cost finding for
A&G.
Column 6--For lines 6 through 23, add the amounts on each line in columns 4A and 5, and enter the
result for each line in this column.
Line 24--Add lines 1 through 23 of columns 0 and 6.

CENTERS
Use this worksheet only if you operate a certified hospital-based HHA as part of your complex. If
you have more than one hospital-based HHA, complete a separate worksheet for each facility.
4043.1 Part I - Allocation of General Service Costs to HHA Cost Centers.--Worksheet H-2, Part I,
provides for the allocation of the expenses of each general service cost center of the hospital to those
cost centers which receive the services. Worksheet H-2, Part II provides for the proration of the
statistical data needed to equitably allocate the expenses of the general service cost centers on
Worksheet H-2, Part I.
Obtain the total direct expenses (column 0, line 20) from Worksheet A, column 7, line 101. Obtain
the cost center allocation (column 0, lines 1 through 19) from Worksheet H-1, lines as indicated.
The amounts on line 20, columns 0 through 23 and column 25 must agree with the corresponding
amounts on Worksheet B, Part I, columns 0 through 23 and column 25, line 101. Complete the
amounts entered on lines 1 through 19, columns 1 through 23 and column 25.
NOTE: Worksheet B, Part I, established the method used to reimburse direct graduate medical
education cost (i.e., reasonable cost or the per resident amount). Therefore, this worksheet
must follow that method. If Worksheet B, Part I, column 25, excluded the costs of interns
and residents, column 25 on this worksheet must also exclude these costs.
Line 21--Enter the unit cost multiplier (column 26, line 1, divided by the sum of column 26, line 20
minus column 26, line 1, rounded to 6 decimal places. Multiply each amount in column 26, lines 2
through 19, by the unit cost multiplier, and enter the result on the corresponding line of column 27.
4043.2 Part II - Allocation of General Service Costs to HHA Cost Centers -Statistical Basis--To
facilitate the allocation process, the general format of Worksheet H-2, Parts I and II, is identical.
The statistical basis shown at the top of each column on Worksheet H-2, Part II, is the recommended
basis of allocation of the cost center indicated.
NOTE: If you wish to change your allocation basis for a particular cost center, you must make a
written request to your contractor for approval of the change and submit reasonable
justification for such change prior to the beginning of the cost reporting period for which
the change is to apply. The effective date of the change is the beginning of the cost
reporting period for which the request has been made. (See CMS Pub. 15-1, §2313.)
If there is a change in ownership, the new owners may request that the contractor approve
a change in order to be consistent with their established cost finding practices. (See CMS
Pub. 15-1, §2313.)
Lines 1 through 19--On Worksheet H-2, Part II, for all cost centers to which the general service cost
center is being allocated, enter that portion of the total statistical base applicable to each.

12-10 FORM CMS-2552-10 4043.2 (Cont.)
Line 20--Enter the total of lines 1 through 19 for each column. The total in each column must be the
same as shown for the corresponding column on Worksheet B-1, line 101.
Line 21--Enter the total expenses for the cost center allocated. Obtain this amount from Worksheet
B, Part I, line 101, from the same column used to enter the statistical base on Worksheet H-2, Part II
(e.g., in the case of capital-related cost buildings and fixtures, this amount is on Worksheet B, Part I,
column 1, line 101).
Line 22--Enter the unit cost multiplier which is obtained by dividing the cost entered on line 21 by
the total statistic entered in the same column on line 20. Round the unit cost multiplier to six
decimal places.
Multiply the unit cost multiplier by that portion of the total statistics applicable to each cost center
receiving the services. Enter the result of each computation on Worksheet H-2, Part I, in the
corresponding column and line.
After the unit cost multiplier has been applied to all the cost centers receiving the services, the total
cost (line 20, Part I) must equal the total cost on line 21, Part II.
Perform the preceding procedures for each general service cost center.
In column 24, Part I, enter the total of columns 4A through 23.
In column 27, Part I, for lines 2 through 19, multiply the amount in column 26 by the unit cost
multiplier on line 21, Part I, and enter the result in this column. On line 20, enter the total of the

4044. WORKSHEET H-3 - APPORTIONMENT OF PATIENT SERVICE COSTS
This worksheet provides for the apportionment of home health patient service costs to titles V,
XVIII, and XIX. Titles V and XIX use the columns identified as Part A for each program.
4044.1 Part I - Computation of the Aggregate Program Cost.--This part provides for the
computation of the total cost and reasonable program cost by discipline based on program patient
care visits as required by 42 CFR 413.20, 42 CFR 413.24 and 42 CFR 484.200. HHA services
rendered on or after October 1, 2000, §1895 of the Social Security Act requires a home health agency
to be paid based on a prospective payment system subject to periodic updates.
Cost Per Visit Computation
Column Descriptions
Column 1--Enter the cost for each discipline from Worksheet H-2, Part I, column 28, lines as
indicated. Enter the total on line 7.
Column 2--Where the hospital complex maintains a separate department for any of the cost centers
listed on this worksheet, and the departments provide services to patients of the hospital’s HHA,
complete the amounts entered on lines 2 through 4 in accordance with the instructions contained in
§4044.2. Enter the total on line 7.
Column 3--Enter the sum of columns 1 and 2.
Column 4--Enter the total agency visits from your records for each type of discipline on lines 1
through 6. Total visits reported in column 4 reflect visits rendered for the entire fiscal year and equal
the visits reported on S-3, Part I, regardless of when the episode was completed.
Column 5--Compute the average cost per visit for each type of discipline. Divide the number of
visits (column 4) into the cost (column 3) for each discipline.
Columns 6 and 9--To determine title XVIII, Part A, V, and XIX cost of service, multiply the number
of Medicare covered visits in completed episodes made to beneficiaries (column 6) (from your
records) by the average cost per visit amount in column 5 for each discipline. Enter the product in
column 9.
NOTE: Statistics in column 7, lines 1 through 7, reflect statistics for services that are part of a
home health plan, and thus not subject to deductibles and coinsurance. OBRA 1990
provides for the limited coverage of injectable drugs for osteoporosis. While covered as a
home health benefit under Part B, these services are subject to deductibles and
coinsurance. Report charges for osteoporosis injections in column 8, line 16, in addition
to statistics for services that are not part of a home health plan.
Columns 7 and 10--To determine the Medicare Part B cost of service, not subject to deductibles and
coinsurance, multiply the number of Medicare covered visits made in completed episodes to Part B
beneficiaries (column 7) (from your records) by the average cost per visit amount in column 5 for
each discipline. Enter the product in column 10. Note if the PS&R reports Part B services separately
as "subject to and not subject to” deductibles and coinsurance, add the two reports together for each
discipline.
Columns 6, 7, 9, 10 and 12--Enter visits and costs as applicable in columns 6, 7, 9, 10, and 12.

NOTE: The sum of visits reported in columns 6 and 7 must equal the corresponding amounts on
Worksheet S-4, column 5, lines 21, 23, 25, 27, 29 and 31, respectively. These visits are
reported for episodes completed during the fiscal year.
Columns 8 and 11--Do not use these columns.
Column 12--Enter the total program cost for each discipline (sum of columns 9 and 10). Add the
amounts on lines 1 through 6, and enter this total on line 7.
Visits by CBSA--Lines 8 through 14-- Enter for each CBSA by discipline the CBSA code for
Medicare program visits reimbursed under HHA PPS for each discipline for lines 8 through 13.
Subscript each discipline line to accommodate multiple CBSAs serviced by your home health
agency.
Column Descriptions
Column 1--Enter the CBSA code in which the corresponding HHA visits were rendered for each
discipline on lines 8 through 13.
Columns 2 and 3--Enter the visit count for each of the corresponding disciplines for each CBSA.
Column 4, lines 8 through 14--These lines are shaded to prevent data input.
Line 14--Enter the total program visits for each discipline by adding lines 8 through 13 and
subscripts, and enter this total on line 14.
Supplies and Drugs Cost Computation.--Certain services covered by the program and furnished by a
home health agency are not included in the cost per visit for apportionment purposes. Since an
average cost per visit and HHA PPS do not apply to these items, develop and apply the ratio of total
cost to total charges to program charges to arrive at the program cost for these services.
Column 1--Enter the facility costs in column 1, lines 15 and 16, from Worksheet H-2, Part I, column
28, lines 8 and 9, respectively.
Column 2--Enter the shared ancillary costs from Worksheet H-3, Part II, column 3, lines 4 and 5,
respectively.
Columns 3 through 5--In column 3, enter the sum total of columns 1 and 2 on lines 15 and 16,
respectively. Enter in column 4, lines 15 and 16, respectively, the total charges for such services in
accordance with the instructions in §4041, lines 12 and 13. Develop a ratio of total cost (column 3)
to total charges (column 4) (from your records), and enter this ratio in column 5.
Columns 6 through 8--Enter in the appropriate column the program charges for drugs and medical
supplies charged to patients subject to cost reimbursement. The actual vaccine/drug cost for
pneumococcal, influenza, hepatitis B and osteoporosis are cost reimbursed.
Do not enter charges for drugs and medical supplies subject to reimbursement on the basis of a fee
schedule.

4045. WORKSHEET H-4 - CALCULATION OF HHA REIMBURSEMENT SETTLEMENT
This worksheet applies to title XVIII only and provides for the reimbursement calculation of Part A
and Part B. This computation is required by 42 CFR 413.9, 42 CFR 413.13, and 42 CFR 413.30.
Worksheet H-4 consists of the following two parts:
Part I - Computation of the Lesser of Reasonable Cost or Customary Charges
Part II - Computation of HHA Reimbursement Settlement
4045.1 Part I - Computation of Lesser of Reasonable Cost or Customary Charges.--Services not
paid based on a fee schedule or OPPS are paid the lesser of the reasonable cost of services furnished
to beneficiaries or the customary charges made by the providers for the same services. This part
provides for the computation of the lesser of reasonable cost as defined in 42 CFR 413.13(b) or
customary charges as defined in the 42 CFR 413.13(e).
NOTE: Nominal charge providers are not subject to the lesser of cost or charges (LCC).
Therefore, a nominal charge provider only completes lines 1, 2, and 9 of Part I. Transfer
the resulting cost to line 10 of Part II.
Line Descriptions
Line 1--This line provides for the computation of reasonable cost reimbursed program services.
Enter the cost of services from Worksheet H-3, Part I as follows:

The above table reflects the transfer of the cost of pneumococcal and influenza vaccines from
Worksheet H-3, Part I, column 10, line 16, to column 2 of this worksheet, and the cost of hepatitis B
vaccines and injectable osteoporosis drugs from worksheet H-3, Part I, column 11, line 9 to column 3
of this worksheet.
Lines 2 through 6--These lines provide for the accumulation of charges which relate to the
reasonable cost on line 1. Do not include on these lines (1) the portion of charges applicable to the
excess costs of luxury items or services (see CMS Pub. 15-1, chapter 21) and (2) provider charges to
beneficiaries for excess costs as described in CMS Pub. 15-1, §2570. When provider operating costs
include amounts that flow from the provision of luxury items or services, such amounts are not
allowable in computing reimbursable costs.
Enter only the charges for applicable Medicare covered pneumococcal, influenza and hepatitis B
vaccines and injectable osteoporosis drugs which are all cost reimbursed.
Line 2--Enter from your records in the applicable column the program charges for Part A, Part B not
subject to deductibles and coinsurance, and Part B subject to deductibles and coinsurance.
Rev. 1 40-239
4045.1 (Cont.) FORM CMS-2552-10 12-10
Enter in column 2 the charges for Medicare covered pneumococcal and influenza vaccines (from
worksheet H-3, line 16, column 7). In column 3, enter the charges for Medicare covered hepatitis B
vaccines and osteoporosis drugs (from worksheet H-3, line 16, column 8).
Lines 3 through 6--These lines provide for the reduction of program charges when the provider does
not actually impose such charges (in the case of most patients liable for payment for services on a
charge basis) or fails to make reasonable efforts to collect such charges from those patients. If line 5
is greater than zero, multiply line 2 by line 5, and enter the result on line 6. Providers which do
impose these charges and make reasonable efforts to collect the charges from patients liable for
payment for services on a charge basis are not required to complete lines 3, 4, and 5, but enter on line
6 the amount from line 2. (See 42 CFR 413.13(b).) In no instance may the customary charges on line
6 exceed the actual charges on line 2.
Line 7--Enter in each column the excess of total customary charges (line 6) over the total reasonable
cost (line 1). In situations when, in any column, the total charges on line 6 are less than the total cost
on line 1 of the applicable column, enter zero on line 7.
Line 8--Enter in each column the excess of total reasonable cost (line 1) over total customary charges
(line 6). In situations when, in any column, the total cost on line 1 is less than the customary charges
on line 6 of the applicable column, enter zero on line 8.
Line 9--Enter the amounts paid or payable by workmens' compensation and other primary payers
where program liability is secondary to that of the primary payer. There are several situations under
which program payment is secondary to a primary payer. Some of the most frequent situations in
which the Medicare program is a secondary payer include:
• Workmens' compensation,
• No fault coverage,
• General liability coverage,
• Working aged provisions,
• Disability provisions, and
• Working ESRD beneficiary provisions.
Generally, when payment by the primary payer satisfies the total liability of the program beneficiary,
for cost reporting purposes only, the services are considered to be nonprogram services. (The
primary payment satisfies the beneficiary's liability when the provider accepts that payment as
payment in full. The provider notes this on no-pay bills submitted in these situations.) The patient
visits and charges are included in total patient visits and charges, but are not included in program
patient visits and charges. In this situation, no primary payer payment is entered on line 9.
However, when the payment by the primary payer does not satisfy the beneficiary's obligation, the
program pays the lesser of (a) the amount it otherwise pays (without regard to the primary payer
payment or deductible and coinsurance) less the primary payer payment, or (b) the amount it
otherwise pays (without regard to primary payer payment or deductibles and coinsurance) less
applicable deductible and coinsurance. Primary payer payment is credited toward the beneficiary's
deductible and coinsurance obligation.
When the primary payer payment does not satisfy the beneficiary's liability, include the covered days
and charges in both program visits and charges and total visits and charges for cost apportionment
purposes. Enter the primary payer payment on line 9 to the extent that primary payer payment is not
credited toward the beneficiary's deductible and coinsurance. Do not enter on line 9 the primary
payer payments that are credited toward the beneficiary's deductible and coinsurance. The primary
payer rules are more fully explained in 42 CFR 411.

Line 21--Enter in column 2 the Part B deductibles billed to program patients. Include any amounts of
deductibles satisfied by primary payer payments.
NOTE: If the component qualifies as a nominal charge provider, enter 20 percent of costs subject
to coinsurance on this line. Compute this amount by subtracting Part B deductibles on line
21 and primary payment amounts in column 3, line 9 from Part B costs subject to
coinsurance in column 3, line 1. Multiply the resulting amount by 20 percent and enter it
on this line.
Line 23--If there is an excess of reasonable cost over customary charges in any column on line 8,
enter the amount of the excess in the appropriate column.
Line 25--Enter in column 2 all coinsurance billable to program beneficiaries including amounts
satisfied by primary payer payments. Coinsurance is applicable for services reimbursable under
§1832(a)(2) of the Act.
NOTE: If the component qualifies as a nominal charge provider, enter 20 percent of the costs
subject to coinsurance on this line. Compute this amount by subtracting Part B deductibles
on line 25 and primary payment amounts in column 3, line 9 from Part B costs subject to
coinsurance in column 3, line 1. Multiply the resulting amount by 20 percent and enter it
on this line.

Line Descriptions
Line 1--Enter the total Medicare interim payments paid to the HHA for cost and HHA PPS
reimbursed services. The amount entered reflects payments for all episodes concluded in this fiscal
year. Do not include any payments received for fee scheduled services. The amount entered
reflects the sum of all interim payments paid on individual bills (net of adjustment bills) for services
rendered in this cost reporting period. The amount entered includes amounts withheld from your
interim payments due to an offset against overpayments applicable to prior cost reporting periods. It
does not include any retroactive lump sum adjustment amounts based on a subsequent revision of the
interim rate, or tentative or net settlement amounts, nor does it include interim payments payable. If
you are reimbursed under the periodic interim payment method of reimbursement, enter the periodic
interim payments received for this cost reporting period.
Line 2--Enter the total Medicare interim payments payable on individual bills. Since the cost in the
cost report is on an accrual basis, this line represents the amount of services rendered in the cost
reporting period, but not paid as of the end of the cost reporting period, and does not include
payments reported on line 1.
Line 3--Enter the amount of each retroactive lump sum adjustment and the applicable date.
Line 4--Enter the total amount of the interim payments (sum of lines 1, 2, and 3.99). Transfer these

these services are allocated to the renal department based on the provider’s laboratory cost to charge
ratio from Worksheet C, Part I, column 9, line 60. Providers must maintain a log of routine
laboratory charges for allocating routine laboratory costs to the renal department. The lab charges
reported on Worksheet C do not include the lab charges for ESRD therefore those charges must be
grossed up in accordance with Pub. 15-1,§ 2314. The cost to charge ratio must be recalculated and
applied against the charges reported in column 3 of this worksheet. Do not gross up ESRD charges.

COMMUNITY MENTAL HEALTH CENTERS
Use this worksheet only if you operate as part of your complex a certified hospital-based community
mental health center (CMHC) furnishing services to Medicare titles XVIII, title XIX, and V.
Additionally, while comprehensive outpatient rehabilitation facilities (CORFs), outpatient
rehabilitation facilities (ORFs) which generally furnish outpatient physical therapy (OPT), outpatient
occupational therapy (OOT), or outpatient speech pathology (OSP) services, do not complete the J
series worksheets they must complete the applicable Worksheet A cost center for the purpose of
overhead allocation. Only those cost centers that represent services for which the facility is certified
are used. If you have more than one hospital-based CMHC, complete a separate worksheet for each
facility.
4053.1 Part I - Allocation of General Service Costs to Community Mental Health Center Cost
Centers.--Worksheet J-1, Part I, provides for the allocation of the expenses of each general service
cost center to those cost centers which receive the services. Obtain the total direct expenses (column
0, line 22) from Worksheet A, column 7, lines as appropriate:
Component From Worksheet A, Column 7
CMHC line 99 and subscripts
Obtain the cost center allocation (column 0, lines 1 through 21) from your records. The amounts on
line 22, columns 0 through 23 and column 25 must agree with the corresponding amounts on
Worksheet B, Part I, columns 0 through 23 and column 25, lines as appropriate:
Component Worksheet B, Part I, Columns 0 through 23 and 25
CMHC line 99 and subscripts
Complete the amounts entered on lines 1 through 21, columns 1 through 23 and column 25 in
accordance with the instructions contained in §4053.2.
NOTE: Worksheet B, Part I, established the method used to reimburse direct graduate medical
education cost (i.e., reasonable cost or the per resident amount). Therefore, this worksheet
must follow that method. If Worksheet B, Part I, column 25, excluded the costs of interns
and residents, column 25 on this worksheet must also exclude these costs.
Line 23--To calculate the unit cost multiplier for component administrative and general costs divide
line 1 by the result of line 22 minus line 1 and round to six decimal places.
In column 24, Part I, enter the total of columns 4A through 23.
In column 27, Part I, for lines 2 through 21, multiply the amount in column 26 by the unit cost
multiplier on line 23, Part I, and enter the result. On line 22, enter the total of the amounts on lines 2
through 21. The total on line 22 equals the amount in column 26, line 1.
In column 28, Part I, enter on lines 2 through 21 the sum of columns 26 and 27. The total on line 22
equals the total in column 26, line 22.
4053.2 Part II - Allocation of General Service Costs to Community Mental Health Center Cost
Centers - Statistical Basis.--Worksheet J-1, Part II, provides for the proration of the statistical data
needed to equitably allocate the expenses of the general service cost centers on Worksheet J-1, Part I.
If there is a difference between the total accumulated costs reported on the Part II statistics and the
total accumulated costs calculated on Part I, use the reconciliation column on Part II for reporting any
Rev. 1 40-253
4053.2 (Cont.) FORM CMS-2552-10 12-10
adjustments. See §4020 for the appropriate usage of the reconciliation columns. For subscripted
(componentized) A&G cost centers, the accumulated cost center line must match the reconciliation
column number.
To facilitate the allocation process, the general format of Worksheet J-1, Parts I and II, is identical.
The statistical basis shown at the top of each column on Worksheet J-1, Part II, is the recommended
basis of allocation of the cost center indicated.
NOTE: If you wish to change your allocation basis for a particular cost center, you must make a
written request to your contractor for approval of the change and submit reasonable
justification for such change prior to the beginning of the cost reporting period for which
the change is to apply. The effective date of the change is the beginning of the cost
reporting period for which the request has been made. (See CMS Pub. 15-1, §2313.)
If there is a change in ownership, the new owners may request that the contractor approve
a change in order to be consistent with their established cost finding practices. (See CMS
Pub. 15-1, §2313.)
Lines 1 through 21--On Worksheet J-1, Part II, for all cost centers to which the general service cost
center is being allocated, enter that portion of the total statistical base applicable to each.
Line 22--Enter the total of lines 1 through 21 for each column. The total in each column must be the
same as shown for the corresponding column on Worksheet B-1, lines as appropriate:
Component Worksheet B-1, Corresponding Column
CMHC line 99
Line 23--Enter the total expenses for the cost center allocated. Obtain this amount from Worksheet
B, Part I, lines as appropriate (see §4056.1), from the same column used to enter the statistical base
on Worksheet J-1, Part II (e.g., for a CMHC provider, in the case of capital-related cost buildings
and fixtures, this amount is on Worksheet B, Part I, column 1, line 99).
Line 24--Enter the unit cost multiplier which is obtained by dividing the cost entered on line 23 by
the total statistic entered in the same column on line 22. Round the unit cost multiplier to six
decimal places.
Multiply the unit cost multiplier by that portion of the total statistics applicable to each cost center
receiving the services. Enter the result of each computation on Worksheet J-1, Part I, in the
corresponding column and line.
After the unit cost multiplier has been applied to all the cost centers receiving the services, the total
cost (line 22, Part I) must equal the total cost on line 23, Part II.
Perform the preceding procedures for each general service cost center.

4060. WORKSHEET K-3 - HOSPICE COMPENSATION ANALYSIS - CONTRACTED
SERVICES/PURCHASED SERVICES.
The hospice may contract with another entity for the provision of non-core hospice services.
However, nursing care, medical social services and counseling are core hospice services and must
routinely be provided directly by hospice employees. Supplemental services may be contracted in
order to meet unusual staffing needs that cannot be anticipated and that occur so infrequently it
would not be practical to hire additional staff to fill these needs. You may also contract to obtain
physician specialty services. If contracting is used for any services, maintain professional, financial
and administrative responsibility for the services and assure that all staff meet the regulatory
qualification requirements.
Enter on this worksheet all contracted and/or purchased services for the hospice. Enter the
contracted/purchased cost on the appropriate cost center line within the column heading which best
describes the type of services purchased. Costs associated with contracting for general inpatient or
respite care would be recorded on this worksheet. For example, where physical therapy services are
purchased, enter the contract cost of the therapist in column 6, line 12. If a contracted/purchased
service covers more than one cost center, then the amount applicable to each cost center is included
on each affected cost center line. Add the amounts of each cost center, columns 1 through 8, and

4061. WORKSHEET K-4, PART I - COST ALLOCATION - GENERAL SERVICE COSTS
AND, PART II - COST ALLOCATION - STATISTICAL BASIS
Worksheet K-4 provides for the allocation of the expenses of each general service cost center to
those cost centers, which receive the services. The cost centers serviced by the general service cost
centers include all cost centers within the provider organization, i.e., other general service cost
centers, reimbursable cost centers, nonreimbursable cost centers. Obtain the total direct expenses
from Worksheet K, column 10. To facilitate transferring amounts from Worksheet K to Worksheet
K-4, Part I, the same cost centers with corresponding line numbers (lines 3 through 39) are listed on
both worksheets.
Worksheet K-4, Part II, provides for the proration of the statistical data needed to equitably allocate
the expenses of the general service cost centers on Worksheet K-4, Part I.
To facilitate the allocation process, the general format of Worksheets K-4, Parts I & II are identical.
The column and line numbers for each general service cost center are identical on the two
worksheets. In addition, the line numbers for each general, reimbursable, nonreimbursable, and
special purpose cost centers are identical on the two worksheets. The cost centers and line numbers
are also consistent with Worksheets K, K-1, K-2, and K-3.
The statistical bases shown at the top of each column on Worksheet K-4, Part II are the
recommended bases of allocation of the cost centers indicated. If a different basis of allocation is
used, the provider must indicate the basis of allocation actually used at the top of the column.
Most cost centers are allocated on different statistical bases. However, for those cost centers where
the basis is the same (e.g., square feet), the total statistical base over which the costs are to be
allocated will differ because of the prior elimination of cost centers that have been closed.
Close the general service cost centers in accordance with 42 CFR 413.24(d)(1) which states, in part,
that the cost of nonrevenue-producing cost centers serving the greatest number of other centers,
while receiving benefits from the least number of centers, is apportioned first. This is clarified in
CMS Pub. 15-1, §2306.1, which further clarify the order of allocation for stepdown purposes.
Consequently, first close those cost centers that render the most services to and receive the least
services from other cost centers. The cost centers are listed in this sequence from left to right on the
worksheet. However, the circumstances of an agency may be such that a more accurate result is
obtained by allocating to certain cost centers in a sequence different from that followed on these
worksheets.
NOTE: A change in order of allocation and/or allocation statistics is appropriate for the current
fiscal year cost if received by the contractor, in writing, within 90 days prior to the end of
that fiscal year. The contractor has 60 days to make a decision or the change is
automatically accepted. The change must be shown to more accurately allocate the
overhead or, if the allocation is accurate, it should be changed due to simplification of
maintaining the statistics. If a change in statistics is made, the provider must maintain
both sets of statistics until an approval is made. If both sets are not maintained and the
request is denied, the provider reverts back to the previously approved methodology. The
provider must include with the request all supporting documentation and a thorough
explanation of why the alternative approach should be used. (See CMS Pub. 15-1, §2313.)
If the amount of any cost center on Worksheet K, column 10, has a credit balance, show this amount
as a credit balance on Worksheet K-4, Part I, column 0. Allocate the costs from the applicable
overhead cost centers in the normal manner to the cost center showing a credit balance. After
Rev. 1

4061 (Cont.) FORM CMS-2552-10 12-10
receiving costs from the applicable overhead cost centers, if a general service cost center has a credit
balance at the point it is allocated, do not allocate the general service cost center. Rather, enter the
credit balance on the first line of the column and on line 39. This enables column 6, line 39, to
crossfoot to columns 0 and 5A, line 39. After receiving costs from the applicable overhead cost
centers, if a revenue producing cost center has a credit balance on Worksheet K-4, Part I, column 6,
do not carry forward a credit balance to any worksheet.
On Worksheet K-4, Part II, enter on the first line in the column of the cost center the total statistics
applicable to the cost center being allocated (e.g., in column 1, capital-related cost - buildings and
fixtures, enter on line 1 the total square feet of the building on which depreciation was taken). Use
accumulated cost for allocating administrative and general expenses.
Such statistical base does not include any statistics related to services furnished under arrangements
except where both Medicare and non-Medicare costs of arranged-for services are recorded in your
records.
For all cost centers (below the cost center being allocated) to which the service rendered is being
allocated, enter that portion of the total statistical base applicable to each.
The total sum of the statistical base applied to each cost center receiving the services rendered must
equal the total statistics entered on the first line.
Enter on Worksheet K-4, Part II, line 39, the total expenses of the cost center to be allocated. Obtain
this amount from Worksheet K-4, Part I from the same column and line number of the same column.
In the case of capital-related costs - buildings and fixtures, this amount is on Worksheet K-4, Part I,
column 1, line 1.
Divide the amount entered on line 39 by the total statistical base entered in the same column on the
first line. Enter the resulting unit cost multiplier on line 40. Round the unit cost multiplier to six
decimal places.
Multiply the unit cost multiplier by that portion of the total statistical base applicable to each cost
center receiving the services rendered. Enter the result of each computation on Worksheet K-4, Part
I in the corresponding column and line.
After the unit cost multiplier has been applied to all the cost centers receiving costs, the total
expenses (line 39) of all of the cost centers receiving the allocation on Worksheet K-4, Part I, must
equal the amount entered on the first line of the cost center being allocated.
The preceding procedures must be performed for each general service cost center. Each cost center
must be completed on Worksheets K-4, Part I & II before proceeding to the next cost center.
After all the costs of the general service cost centers have been allocated on Worksheet K-4, Part I,
enter in column 7 the sum of the expenses on lines 7 through 38. The total expenses entered in
column 7, line 39, must equal the total expenses entered in column 0, line 39.

Allocate all expenses to the cost centers on the basis of square feet of area occupied. The square
footage may be weighted if the person who occupies a certain area of space spends their time in more
than one function. For example, if a person spends 10 percent of time in one function, 20 percent in
another function, and 70 percent in still another function, the square footage may be weighted
according to the percentages of 10 percent, 20 percent, and 70 percent to the applicable functions.
Column 2--Allocate all expenses (e.g., interest, and personal property tax) for movable equipment to
the appropriate cost centers on the basis of square feet of area occupied or dollar value.
Column 4--The cost of vehicles owned or rented by the agency and all other transportation costs
which were not directly assigned to another cost center on Worksheet K, column 3, is included in
this cost center. Allocate this expense to the cost centers to which it applies on the basis of miles
applicable to each cost center.
This basis of allocation is not mandatory and a provider may use weighted trips rather than actual
miles as a basis of allocation for transportation costs, which are not directly assigned. However, a
hospice must request the use of the alternative method in accordance with CMS Pub. 15-1, §2313.
The hospice must maintain adequate records to substantiate the use of this allocation.
Column 6--The A&G expenses are allocated on the basis of accumulated costs after reclassifications
and adjustments.
Therefore, obtain the amounts to be entered on Worksheet K-4, Part II, column 6, from Worksheet
K-4, Part I, columns 0 through 5.
A negative cost center balance in the statistics for allocating A&G expenses causes an improper
distribution of this overhead cost center. Negative balances are excluded from the allocation
statistics when A&G expenses are allocated on the basis of accumulated cost.
A&G costs applicable to contracted services may be excluded from the total cost (Worksheet K-4,
Part I, column 0) for purposes of determining the basis of allocation (Worksheet K-4, Part II, column
5) of the A&G costs. This procedure may be followed when the hospice contracts for services to be
performed for the hospice and the contract identifies the A&G costs applicable to the purchased
services
The contracted A&G costs must be added back to the applicable cost center after allocation of the
hospice A&G cost before the reimbursable costs are transferred to Worksheet K-5. A separate
worksheet must be included to display the breakout of the contracted A&G costs from the applicable
cost centers before allocation and the adding back of these costs after allocation. Contractor
approval does not have to be secured in order to use the above described method of cost finding for
A&G.
Worksheet K-4, Part II, Column 6A--Enter the costs attributable to the difference between the total
accumulated cost reported on Worksheet K-4, Part I, column 5A, line 39 and the accumulated cost
reported on Worksheet K-4, Part II, column 6, line 6. Enter any amounts reported on Worksheet K-
4, Part I, column 5A for (1) any service provided under arrangements to program patients only that is
not grossed up and (2) negative balances. Including these costs in the statistics for allocating
administrative and general expenses causes an improper distribution of overhead.
In addition, report on line 6 the administrative and general costs reported on Worksheet K-4, Part I,
column 6, line 6 since these costs are not included on Worksheet K-4, Part II, column 6 as an
accumulated cost statistic.

The accumulated cost center line number must match the reconciliation column number. Include in
the column number the alpha character "A", i.e., if the accumulated cost center for A&G is line 6
(A&G), the reconciliation column designation must be 6A.

basis of allocation of the cost center indicated.
NOTE: If you wish to change your allocation basis for a particular cost center, you must make a
written request to your contractor for approval of the change and submit reasonable
justification for such change prior to the beginning of the cost reporting period for which
the change is to apply. The effective date of the change is the beginning of the cost
reporting period for which the request has been made. (See CMS Pub. 15-1, §2313.)
If there is a change in ownership, the new owners may request that the contractor approve a change
in order to be consistent with their established cost finding practices. (See CMS Pub. 15-1, §2313.)

Line 3--Enter line 1 less line 2.
Line 4--Enter the appropriate minimum payment level percentage: The minimum payment levels for
portions of cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2001 are:
• SCHs (located in either an urban or a rural area) - 90 percent;
• Urban hospitals with at least 100 beds and a disproportionate patient percentage of at least
20.2 percent - 80 percent; and
• All other hospitals - 70 percent.
For providers that qualify for the special exceptions payment pursuant to 42 CFR 412.348(g) the
appropriate minimum payment level is 70 percent.
The minimum payment levels in subsequent transition years will be revised, if necessary, to keep
total payments under the exceptions process at no more than 10 percent of capital prospective
payments.
If you were an SCH during a portion of the cost reporting period, compute the minimum payment
level percentage by dividing the number of days in your cost reporting period for which you were not
an SCH (70 percent factor applicable) by the total number of days in the cost reporting period.
Multiply that ratio by 70 percent. Divide the number of days in your cost reporting period for which
you were an SCH (90 percent factor applicable) by the total number of days in the cost reporting
period. Multiply that ratio by 90 percent. Add the amounts from steps 1 and 2 to compute the
capital cost minimum payment level percentage. Display exception percentage in decimal format,
e.g., 70 percent is displayed as .70 or 0.70.
Line 5--Enter the product of line 3 multiplied by line 4.
Line 6--Hospitals that did not qualify as sole community providers during the cost reporting period
enter a reduction factor of 85 percent. SCHs enter 100 percent. If you were a sole community
hospital during a portion of the cost reporting period, compute the capital cost reduction percentage
by dividing the number of days in your cost reporting period for which you were not a sole
community hospital (reduction factor applicable) by the total number of days in the cost reporting
period. Multiply that ratio by 15 percent and subtract the amount from 100. Enter the resulting
extraordinary circumstance percentage adjustment in decimal format, e.g., 85 percent is displayed as
.85 or 0.85.

equals the difference between the applicable minimum payment level and the capital payments that
the hospital would otherwise receive. This additional payment amount is reduced for any amounts
by which the hospital’s cumulative payments exceed its cumulative minimum payment levels. The
offsetting amounts will be determined based on the amounts by which the hospital’s cumulative
payments exceed its cumulative minimum payment levels in the lesser of the preceding 10-year
period or the period of time under which the hospital is subject to the prospective payment system
for capital related costs.
A positive amount on line 10 represents the amount of capital payments under the minimum payment
level in the current year. This amount must be offset for the amount by which the hospital’s
cumulative payments exceed its cumulative minimum payment levels in prior years, as reported on
line 11. If the net amount on line 12 remains a positive amount, this amount represents the current
year’s additional payment for capital payments under the minimum payment level. Report this
amount on line 13. If the net amount on line 12 is a negative amount, this amount represents the

NOTE: Compute capital costs for extraordinary circumstances relating to non-distinct observation
bed units. To compute extraordinary circumstances relating to non-distinct observation
bed units, develop a ratio of total observation bed costs to total general routine costs.
Compute this ratio, rounded to six decimal places, by dividing the amount from Worksheet
L-1, Part I, column 26, line 30 by the amount on Worksheet D-1, line 37. Then multiply
this ratio by the general routine capital costs for extraordinary circumstances from
Supplemental Worksheet L-1, Part I, column 26, line 30 to obtain the capital costs for
extraordinary circumstances relating to non-distinct observation bed units for line 92,
column 1. Transfer distinct part observation bed unit costs from Worksheet L-1, Part I, the
appropriate subscript of column 26, line 92.
Column 2--Enter on each line the charges applicable to each cost center as shown on Worksheet C,
Part I, column 6.
Column 3--Divide the cost of each cost center in column 1 by the charges in column 2 for each line
to determine the cost/charge ratio. Round the ratios to six decimal places, e.g., round .0321514 to
032151. Enter the resultant departmental ratios in column 3.
Column 4--Enter on each line the appropriate titles V, XVIII, Part A, or XIX inpatient charges.
Transfer these charges from the corresponding lines of Worksheet D, Part II, column 4.
Column 5--Multiply the ratio in column 3 by the charges in column 4 to determine the program’s
share of capital costs for extraordinary circumstances applicable to titles V, XVIII, Part A, or XIX
inpatient ancillary services, as appropriate.

due you for covered RHC/FQHC services furnished to program beneficiaries during the reporting
period. Complete columns 1 and 2 of lines 10 through 14 to identify costs and visits affected by
different payment limits during a cost reporting period.
Line descriptions
Line 10--Enter the number of program covered visits excluding visits subject to the outpatient mental
health services limitation from your contractor records.
Line 11--Enter the subtotal of program cost. This cost is determined by multiplying the rate per visit
on line 9 by the number of visits on line 10 (the total number of covered program beneficiary visits
for RHC/FQHC services during the reporting period).
Line 12--Enter the number of program covered visits subject to the outpatient mental health services
limitation from your contractor records.
Line 13--Enter the program covered cost for outpatient mental health services by multiplying the rate
per visit on line 9 by the number of visits on line 12.
Line 14--Enter the limit adjustment. In accordance with MIPPA 2008, section 102, the outpatient
mental health treatment service limitation applies as follows: For services rendered through
December 31, 2009, the limitation is 62.50 percent; services from January 1, 2010, through
December 31, 2011, the limitation is 68.75 percent; services from January 1, 2012, through
December 31, 2012, the limitation is 75 percent; services from January 1, 2013 through December
31, 2013, the limitation is 81.25 percent; and services on or after January 1, 2014, the limitation is
100 percent. This is computed by multiplying the amount on line 13 by the corresponding outpatient
mental health treatment service limit percentage. This limit applies only to therapeutic services, not
initial diagnostic services.
