Overview:
- Medicare-certified institutional providers are required to submit an annual cost report to a Fiscal Intermediary (FI).
- The cost report contains provider information such as facility characteristics, utilization data, cost and charges by cost center (in total and for Medicare), Medicare settlement data, and financial statement data.
- CMS maintains the cost report data in the Healthcare Provider Cost Reporting Information System (HCRIS).
- The following cost reports are available. Each fiscal year is a separate zipped file, except where noted specifically.
- Hospice (there is one zipped file that contains all data for all the fiscal years)
- Renal
- Hospital (because of the size, can’t be loaded in excel)
- SNF (Skilled Nursing Facilities- can’t be loaded in excel either)
- HHA (Home Health Agencies)
