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 intermediary, in writing, 90 days prior to the end of that reporting period. The intermediary 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: If you are paid on a prospective payment basis, the capital consistency rules will apply. 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), as well as capital consistency.

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 computed in columns 21 and 22. These costs are, however, eliminated from total costs in column 25, unless you qualify for the 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. 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 58) 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 intermediary/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.)




40-118 Rev. 1

DRAFT FORM CMS-2552-10 4020 (Cont.)


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.)


Since capital-related cost, non-physician anesthetists, and approved education programs are not included in the operating cost per discharge, columns 19 through 23 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. 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. (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 made on Worksheet B, Part I, column 25, adjust the amounts in column 24 by the amounts in column 25, and extend the net balances to 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.


Transfer the totals in column 26, lines 30 through 46 (inpatient routine service cost centers), lines 50 through 76 (ancillary service cost centers), lines 88 through 93 (outpatient service cost centers), lines 94 through 101 (other reimbursable cost centers), and 105 through 117 (special purpose cost centers) to Worksheet C, Parts I and II, column l, lines 30 through 98.

Column Descriptions


Column 1--Include only capital costs for building and fixtures. See the instructions for Worksheet A, line 1, for a discussion capital-related costs for building and fixtures.


Column 2-- Include only capital costs for movable equipment. See the instructions for Worksheet A, line 2, for a discussion capital-related costs for movable equipment.


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 the costs from columns 21 and 22.

Worksheet B-1, Column 4A--Enter the costs attributable to the difference between the total accumulated cost reported on Worksheet B, Part I, column 3A, line 202 and the accumulated cost reported on Worksheet B-1, column 5, line 5. Enter any amounts reported on Worksheet B, Part I, column 3A 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: Except for non-IPPS providers, 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 intermediary 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 42 CFR 412.23 for classification of excluded units.)

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 made on Worksheet B, Part II, column 25, adjust the amounts in column 24 by the amounts in column 25 and extend the net balances to 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.

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:

C olumn 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 80, 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 (excluded from IPPS), the acute care hospital reports the observation bed costs. Subproviders (hospital only, i.e. psychiatric, rehabilitation, or long term care facility) with separate provider numbers from the main hospital may report observation bed costs if a separate outpatient department is maintained within the subprovider unit. If the subprovider is reporting observation bed days (Worksheet S-3, line 28.01), add the amount reported by both the hospital and the subprovider from Worksheet D-1, line 89, and enter the sum on line 92. 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 62 to 65. 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 carrier 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-4 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.

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 not set up as a separate unit. 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 observation bed costs are also provided by a subprovider (no alpha character in the provider number), combine the charges for purposes of calculating the cost to charge ratio.


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--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--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--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 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 this 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 or lines 40 through 42, respectively, in the case of a subprovider. 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.

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 and Other Nursing Facility Only

Part IV - Computation of Observation Bed 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 DRAFT


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 or subprovider 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.

NOTE: A new non-PPS hospital or subprovider (Lines 85 and/or 86 of Worksheet S-2 with a “Y” response) is cost reimbursed for all cost reporting periods through the end of its first 12 month cost reporting period. The 12 month cost reporting period also becomes the TEFRA base period unless an exemption under 42 CFR 413.40 (f) is granted. If such an exemption is granted, cost reimbursement continues through the end of the exemption period. The last 12 month period of the exemption is the TEFRA base period. New providers will be paid the lower of their inpatient operating costs per case or 110 percent of the national median of the target amounts for similar provider types.


Line 54--Enter the number of program discharges including deaths (excluding newborn and DOAs) for the component from Worksheet S-3, Part I, columns 12 through 14 (as appropriate), lines 14 and 16 through 18 (as appropriate). A patient discharge, including death, is a formal release of a patient.


Line 55--Enter the target amount per discharge as obtained from your contractor. The target amount establishes a limitation on allowable rates of increase for hospital inpatient operating cost. The rate of increase ceiling limits the amount by which your inpatient operating cost may increase from one cost reporting period to the next. (See 42 CFR 413.40.)


Line 56--Multiply the number of discharges on line 54 by the target amount per discharge on line 55 to determine the rate of increase ceiling.


Line 57--Subtract line 53 from line 56 to determine the difference between adjusted inpatient operating cost and the target amount.


Line 58 through 62--This line provides incentive payments when your cost per discharge for the cost reporting period subject to the ceiling is less than the applicable target amount per discharge. In addition bonus payments are provided for hospitals who have received PPS exempt payments for three or more previous cost reporting periods and whose operating costs are less than the target amount, expected costs (lesser of actual costs or the target amount for the previous year), or trended costs (lesser of actual operating costs or the target amount in 1996; or for hospitals where its third full cost reporting period was after 1996 the inpatient operating cost per discharge ), updated and compounded by the market basket. It also provides for an adjustment when the cost per discharge exceeds the applicable target amount per discharge. If line 57 is zero, enter zero on lines 58 through 62. New providers skip lines 58 through 62 and go to line 63.


Line 58--If line 57 is a positive amount (actual inpatient operating cost is less than the target amount), enter on line 58 the lesser of 15 percent of line 57 or 2 percent of line 56. If line 57 is negative, do not complete line 58 (leave blank), however, complete line 62 for calculation of any adjustments to the operating costs.

4027. WORKSHEET D-3 - INPATIENT ANCILLARY SERVICE COST APPORTIONMENT


All providers must complete this worksheet including CAHs. (See Worksheet S-2, line 105.) At the top of the worksheet, indicate by checking the appropriate lines the health care program, provider component, and the payment system for which the worksheet is prepared. When reporting Medicare charges on the appropriate lines and columns, do not include Medicare charges identified as 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 column 9 in all other cases.


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.

4028. WORKSHEET D-4 - COMPUTATION OF ORGAN ACQUISITION COSTS AND 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

Part IV - Statistics

4029. WORKSHEET D-5 - APPORTIONMENT OF COST FOR 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.

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.
