4400. GENERAL



The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 requires that the private sector be informed as to why information is collected and what the information is used for by the government. In accordance with §§1815(a) and 1861(v)(1)(A) of the Social Security Act (the Act), providers of medical and other health services as defined under §1861(s), participating in the Medicare program are required to submit annual information to achieve settlement of costs for health care services rendered to Medicare beneficiaries. Federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) are required under 42 CFR 405.2470, to maintain adequate financial and statistical records and provide annual cost reports as the Secretary determines necessary to administer the program. The data submitted on the cost reports supports management of Federal programs. The information reported on Form CMS-224-14, must conform to the requirements and principles set forth in the Provider Reimbursement Manual, (CMS Pub. 15), as well as those set forth in the Medicare Benefit Policy Manual, CMS Pub. 100-02, chapter 13, and the Medicare Claims Processing Manual, CMS Pub. 100-04, chapter 9.



Section 10501(i)(3)(A) of the Affordable Care Act (Pub. L. 111-148 and Pub. L. 111-152) added §1834(o) of the Act to establish a new system of payment for the costs of FQHC services under Medicare Part B based on prospectively set rates. The statute requires implementation of the FQHC prospective payment system (FQHC PPS) for FQHCs with cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2014. Form CMS-224-14 must be used by all freestanding FQHCs for cost reporting periods beginning on or after October 1, 2014. The FQHC cost report must be submitted to the Medicare administrative contractor (MAC) (hereafter referred to as contractor) electronically in accordance with 42 CFR 413.24(f)(4). Cost reports are due on or before the last day of the fifth month following the close of the period covered by the report. For cost reports ending on a day other than the last day of the month, cost reports are due 150 days after the last day of the cost reporting period, in accordance with 42 CFR 413.24(f)(2).



NOTE: This form is to be used by freestanding FQHCs and FQHC’s previously reported as part of a SNF complex or HHA complex. FQHCs that are part of a hospital healthcare complexhospital-based must use the Form CMS-2552.



The public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this cost report is estimated to average 58 hours per response. This includes time for reviewing instructions, gathering data, maintaining records, and completing the forms. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing the burden, to:

4400.1 FORM CMS-224-14 DRAFT



4400.1 Rounding Standards for Fractional Computations.--Throughout the Medicare cost report, required computations result in the use of fractions. Use the following rounding standards for such computations:



1. Round to 2 decimal places:

a. Rates

b. Cost per visit

c. Cost for pneumococcal and influenza vaccines



2. Round to 6 decimal places:

a. Ratios

b. Unit cost multiplier



If a residual exists as a result of computing costs using a fraction, adjust the residual in the largest amount resulting from the computation. For example, in cost finding, a unit cost multiplier is applied to the statistics in determining costs. After rounding each computation, the sum of the allocation may be more or less than the total cost allocated. This residual is adjusted to the largest amount resulting from the allocation so that the sum of the allocated amounts equals the amount allocated.



4401. ACRONYMS AND ABBREVIATIONS

4408. WORKSHEET A - RECLASSIFICATION AND ADJUSTMENT OF TRIAL BALANCE OF EXPENSES



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 listed may not apply to every FQHC using these forms. For example, a FQHC that does not have an intern and resident program will not complete lines 47 and/or 78. Complete only those lines that are applicable.



If the cost elements of a cost center are maintained separately on your accounting books, a reconciliation of costs per the accounting books and records to those on this worksheet must be maintained and are subject to review by your contractor.



Standard (i.e., preprinted) CMS line numbers and cost center descriptions cannot be changed. If additional or different cost center descriptions are needed, 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.



Cost center coding is a methodology for standardizing the meaning of cost center labels as used by health care entities on the Medicare cost reports. Form CMS-224-14 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.



This coding methodology allows FQHCs to continue to use labels for cost centers that have meaning within the individual institution. The four digit cost center codes that are associated with each FQHC’s label in the ECR file provide standardized meaning for data analysis. FQHCs are required to compare any added or changed labels 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 §4495, table 5.

LINE DESCRIPTIONS



The Worksheet A segregates the trial balance of expenses into general service cost centers, direct patient care cost centers, reimbursable pass through costs, other FQHC services, and nonreimbursable cost centers to facilitate the transfer of costs to the various worksheets.



GENERAL SERVICE COST CENTERS



These cost centers include expenses incurred in operating the FQHC 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, and computer hardware and software costs. General service cost centers furnish services to other general service cost centers and to reimbursable and nonreimbursable cost centers in the FQHC.



Lines 1 and 2 - Cap Rel Costs-Bldg & Fix and Cap Rel Costs-Mvble Equip.--These cost centers include the capital-related costs for buildings and fixtures and the capital-related costs for movable equipment including depreciation, leases and rentals for the use of facilities and/or equipment, including electronic health records systems, interest incurred in acquiring land and depreciable assets used for patient care, insurance on depreciable assets used for patient care, taxes on land or depreciable assets used for patient care, and software and hardware updates attributable to electronic health records systems. 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).
