Form CMS 2540-10 is used by Skilled Nursing Facilities (SNFs) and Skilled Nursing Facility Complexes participating in the Medicare program to report the health care costs to determine the amount of reimbursable costs for services rendered to Medicare beneficiaries.
US Code:
42 USC 1395g
Name of Law: Payments to providers of services
PL: Pub.L. 111 - 148 aaa Name of Law: Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, ? 6104(1) of Public Law 111-148 amended 1888(f) of the Social Security Act ("Reporting of Direct Care Expenditures"), requires SNFs to separately report expenditures for wages and benefits for direct care staff (breaking out (at a minimum) registered nurses, licensed professional nurses, certified nurse assistants, and other medical and therapy staff). In implementing these changes Worksheet S-3, part V was added. With the addition of this worksheet the average record keeping time for each provider will be increased by 5 hours and the average reporting time by 1 hour.
An increase in burden is also due to a change in the number of respondents.
