CMS Healthcare Cost Report Information System

Oct 21, 2010 | From CMS

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.
    1. Hospice (there is one zipped file that contains all data for all the fiscal years)
    2. Renal
    3. Hospital (because of the size, can’t be loaded in excel)
    4. SNF (Skilled Nursing Facilities- can’t be loaded in excel either)
    5. HHA (Home Health Agencies)
