General Instructions
Introduction
This document provides guidance to CCBHCs on how to use the Certified Community Behavioral
Health Clinic (CCBHC) cost report for the two Certified Clinic Prospective Payment System (CC
PPS) rate methodologies—CC PPS-1 and CC PPS-2. The cost report may be used to determine
the clinic-specific PPS rate and to annually report demonstration costs. These payment rates were
provided through the Demonstration Program to Improve Community Mental Health Services, which
was created under Section 223 of the Protecting Access to Medicare Act of 2014.
Instructions for Completing the Cost Report

CCBHC COST REPORT INSTRUCTIONS
Abbreviations: CCBHC, Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic; CC PPS, Certified Clinic Prospective
Payment System; FTE, full-time equivalent
This document provides instructions for completing each tab of the cost report. These instructions
are not intended to be all-encompassing. The cost report should be based on the CCBHC financial
and statistical records. All reported amounts must allow for reconciliation to the CCBHC’s general
ledger and audited financial statements.
When reporting costs, the CCBHC must adhere to the 45 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) §75
Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for the U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Awards and 42 CFR §413 Principles of
Reasonable Cost Reimbursement. The CCBHC records must be detailed, orderly, complete, and
available for review or audit. It is important that supporting documentation be maintained for all
costs reported; the cost report package and source documentation (e.g., invoices, patient records,
cancelled checks) must adhere to federal and state record retention requirements.
A Comments worksheet is built into the cost report. This tab is not formatted; instead, it provides
CCBHCs with an opportunity to submit comments in any format. For example, narrative text, small
tables, or exhibits can be included here. In addition to the cost report, documentation that provides
additional information is encouraged in order to support full disclosure.
The recommended order for completing the cost report is in Table 2: Recommended Order:

CCBHC COST REPORT INSTRUCTIONS
If the CCBHC’s records are maintained on an accounting basis other than accrual, adjustments to
convert to an accrual basis of accounting are required. The accrual basis of accounting is
considered the most accurate method for determining costs during a period of time.
All information requested in the tabs must be furnished unless the information does not apply to a
specific CCBHC because of organizational structure or the choice of PPS methodology. Failure to
complete applicable tabs properly will result in rejection of the cost report and its return to the
CCBHC for correction and resubmission. CCBHCs should round monetary amounts to the nearest
whole dollar; round amounts of $0.50 or more up to the next dollar, and round amounts of $0.49 or
less down. Standard (i.e., preprinted) line numbers and expense category descriptions cannot be
changed.
PRA Disclosure Statement

collection of information unless it displays a valid Office of Management and Budget (OMB) control
number. The valid OMB control number for this information collection is 0938 -1148, and the CMS

Trial Balance Tab
Use the Trial Balance tab (1) to record amounts from the trial balance expense accounts from your
books and records, (2) to perform the necessary reclassification and adjustments to adhere to
Medicare and Medicaid cost principles, and (3) to record estimates of anticipated changes in costs.
All expense categories listed do not apply to all CCBHCs using this worksheet. Where expense
categories are not applicable, enter 0.
If the cost elements of an expense category are maintained separately on your books, you must
reconcile the costs on your accounting books and records to those on this worksheet and maintain
documentation of that reconciliation. These materials are subject to review or audit.
Also, submit the working trial balance of the site with the cost report. A working trial balance is a
listing of the balances of the accounts in the general ledger to which adjustments are appended in
supplementary columns. It is used as a basic summary for financial statements.
PART 1 – DIRECT CCBHC EXPENSES
Column Descriptions
Columns 1–2: Enter total expenses incurred during the reporting period on the appropriate lines in
columns 1 and 2. Categorize the expenses as Compensation (column 1) and
Other (column 2). The expenses listed in these columns must agree with those
listed in your accounting books and records. Total compensation for an individual
would include their total compensation package and not any type of proration of
fringe benefits based on salary costs.
Column 3:
“Total,” which is calculated by adding the entries in columns 1 and 2 to the left, is
automatically populated in this column.
Column 4:
Enter any reclassification among expense category expenses that are needed to

Trial Balance Reclassifications Tab
Use the Trial Balance Reclassifications tab for reclassifying certain amounts to determine the
proper cost allocation. The expense categories that are affected (listed under the Description
column in the Trial Balance tab) must be specifically identifiable in your accounting records. Use
reclassifications when expenses that are applicable to more than one of the expense categories
listed in the Trial Balance tab are maintained in your accounting books and records under a single
expense category.
For example, if a psychiatrist performs administrative duties, the appropriate portion of his or her
compensation, payroll taxes, and fringe benefits must be reclassified from "Psychiatrist" on line 1 to
"Office salaries" on line 40 on the Trial Balance tab. On the Trial Balance Reclassifications tab, the
amount on line 36 in column 3 must be equal to the amount on line 36 in column 6.
When reclassifying costs for allocation purposes, add a narrative detailing the calculations and
methods to support the allocation methodology in the Allocation Descriptions tab (See Section 8,
the Direct Costs Allocation tab, for more information).
The totals from column 3 and column 6 should be transferred to the appropriate line items in
column 4 of the Trial Balance tab when completed.
11
CCBHC COST REPORT INSTRUCTIONS
5
Trial Balance Adjustments Tab
Use the Trial Balance Adjustments tab for adjusting the expenses listed in the Trial Balance tab in
column 6 (Adjustments). Make these adjustments on the basis of either cost or amount received.
To indicate the basis for adjustments in column 1, enter “A” for cost; if cost cannot be determined,
enter “B” for amount received. Once an adjustment to an expense is made on the basis of cost,
you may not adjust the expense on the basis of revenue in future cost-reporting periods. If total
direct and indirect cost can be determined, use cost for the basis of the adjustment. Enter revenue
as the basis for the adjustment only if the cost (including the direct cost and all applicable overhead)
cannot be determined.
Types of items to be entered on this table include (1) those that are needed to adjust expenses
incurred; (2) those that constitute recovery of expenses through sales, charges, fees, and so forth;
and (3) those that are needed to adjust expenses in accordance with cost principles described in 45
CFR §75.
If an adjustment to an expense affects more than one expense category, record the adjustment to
each expense category on a separate line on this worksheet. For example, if the CCBHC leases
space or equipment from a related party, the lease expenses must be adjusted to reflect only the
depreciation expenses related to the leased asset.
Home office adjustments must be described in the Allocation Descriptions tab (if applicable).
Certain Line Descriptions
Most line descriptions are self-explanatory. However, guidance is provided for selected lines below.
PART 1 – COMMON ADJUSTMENTS
Line 1:
Investment income on restricted and unrestricted funds that are commingled with
other funds must be applied together against the total interest expense included in
allowable costs. Apply these commingled investment funds against appropriate
expense categories such as administrative, depreciation of buildings and fixtures, or
depreciation of equipment on the basis of the ratio of the interest expense charged to
each expense category to the total interest expense charged to all of your expense
categories.
Line 5:
Enter the allowable home office costs allocated to the site.
Line 8:
Enter the amount of allowable cost of the services furnished by National Health
Service Corps (NHSC) personnel.
Lines 9–10:
If depreciation expenses computed in accordance with the cost principles at 45 CFR
§75 differ from depreciation expenses in your books, enter the difference on line 9
(building and fixtures) or line 10 (equipment).
Line 11:
Enter a subtotal of all other adjustments and describe the adjustments and amounts
in the Comments tab.
Line 12:
“Subtotal of common adjustments,” which is calculated by adding lines 1 through 11,
is automatically populated on this line.
12
CCBHC COST REPORT INSTRUCTIONS
PART 2 – COSTS NOT ALLOWED
Lines 13–21: Enter expenses not allowed from federal funding as identified in 45 CFR §75. These
costs should be subtracted from the applicable line items in the Trial Balance tab.
An example of other costs not allowed are certain costs associated with related
parties, such as rent expense. Rent expense from a related party must be adjusted
to the depreciable amount for the building, as per 45 CFR 75.465.
Line 22:
Enter a subtotal of all other costs not allowed and describe the costs not allowed with
amounts in the Comments tab.
Line 23:
“Subtotal of costs not allowed adjustments,” which is calculated by adding lines 13
through 22, is automatically populated on this line.
Line 24:
“Total adjustments,” which is calculated by adding lines 12 and 23, is automatically
populated on this line.
When complete, transfer the amounts from column 2 in this tab to the appropriate line in column 6
in the Trial Balance tab.

Anticipated Costs Tab
Use the Anticipated Costs tab to add or change the expenses listed on Trial Balance tab, column 8.
Anticipated costs are (1) additional costs related to services that were not previously offered but
that CCBHCs are required to offer or (2) costs that are expected to increase as a result of offering
CCBHC services during the rate period that were not captured in the reporting period. The costs
should be to support both Medicaid and non-Medicaid users. Anticipated costs are allowed for
demonstration year 1 only. Demonstration year 2 requires actual data.
Column Descriptions
Column 1:
Enter the change in the number of full-time equivalent (FTE) staff members needed
to provide CCHBC services. Enter the number as either a positive number for
increases in FTE or a negative number for decreases in FTE. For instance, if an
additional psychiatric nurse is required to offer CCBHC services, enter a 1 on line 2,
column 1.
Column 2:
Enter the additional expenses associated with providing new or expanded CCBHC
services. The amount entered should be the additional cost expected that is not
already accounted for in the Trial Balance.
Column 3:
Enter amounts that are expected to decrease as a result of the provision of CCBHC
services. For instance, if a staff member providing case management services for
non-CCBHC services is repurposed to provide case management for CCBHC
services, there should be a positive expense amount on line 6, column 2, and a
negative expense amount on line 50, column 3.

Indirect Cost Allocation Tab
Use the Indirect Cost Allocation tab to identify the method used for calculating allocable indirect
costs to CCBHC services. This cost report allows a clinic to identify indirect cost using (1) an
indirect rate approved by a cognizant agency, (2) a 10 percent rate, (3) calculated indirect cost
allocable to CCBHC services, or (4) other method.
Line Descriptions
Lines 1–2:
If the organization has an indirect rate approved by a cognizant agency, enter “Yes,”
and enter the cognizant agency on line 2. The following rules apply to the use of
approved indirect cost rate agreements:
•
Non-profit organizations with no Federal funding are not required to negotiate a
federally approved rate. Pass-through entities, such as state governments, are
required to either negotiate a rate with the non-profit or provide the minimum rate
of 10% described in line 7.
•
Non-profit organizations with Federal funding should either use the rate
negotiated with the agency that provides the most funding or, if they qualify, the
minimum rate of 10% described in line 7.
•
State governments, local governments, or tribal agencies with less than $35
million in direct Federal funding are required to prepare an annual indirect cost
rate proposal and keep it on file. If a Federal rate agreement has never been
filed, the state or local government may opt for the minimum rate of 10%
described in line 7.
•
State or local governments with at least $35 million in direct Federal funding must
obtain a federally approved rate agreement and use the agreed upon rate here.
If the organization does not have an approved indirect cost rate, enter “No” and
proceed to line 7.
Line 3:
Describe the basis for calculating the indirect cost rate. Identify the line numbers
from the Trial Balance tab used in determining the base. If more space is needed for
a complete description, include additional information in the Comments tab.
Line 4:
Enter the cost basis described on line 3 above as a whole dollar amount.
Line 5:
Enter the allocation rate percentage subject to the agreement.
Line 6:
“Calculated indirect costs allocable to CCBHC services,” which is calculated by
multiplying lines 4 and 5 above, is automatically populated on this line. If line 6 is
greater than zero, no additional information is needed in this tab.
Line 7:
If the organization is qualified and chooses to use the minimum rate, enter “Yes” and
review lines 8–10. If not, enter “No” and go to question 11.
Pursuant to 45 CFR 75.414(f), to qualify for the minimum rate, the organization must
be a nonfederal entity that has never received a negotiated indirect cost rate and that
receives less than $35 million in direct federal funding. The organization may then
elect to use the minimum rate of 10 percent of modified total direct costs, which may
be used indefinitely. Costs must be consistently charged as either indirect or direct,
and costs may not be double charged. Once chosen, the methodology must be used
15
CCBHC COST REPORT INSTRUCTIONS
consistently for all federal awards until such time as a nonfederal entity chooses to
negotiate for a new rate, which the nonfederal entity may apply to do at any time.
As described in lines 1-2, organizations that qualify for the 10% minimum rate
include:
•
Non-profits with no direct Federal funding and who have never negotiated an
indirect cost rate with a Federal agency 1, or
•
State governments, local governments, or tribal entities that receive less than
$35 million in Federal funding and have never negotiated an indirect cost rate
with a Federal agency may all elect to use the minimum rate of 10%.
Line 8:
“Direct costs for CCBHC services” is automatically populated on this line from line
29, column 9, of the Trial Balance tab.
Line 9:
If Yes is entered on line 7, the minimum rate of 10 percent will appear automatically
on this line. Otherwise, the rate will remain blank.
Line 10:
“Calculated indirect costs allocable to CCBHC services,” which is calculated by
multiplying lines 8 and 9 above, is automatically populated on this line. If line 10 is
greater than zero, no additional information is needed in this tab.
Line 11:
Organizations without indirect rate agreements that do not choose or are not
qualified for the minimum rate may allocate indirect costs by taking the ratio of direct
costs for providing CCBHC covered services to total allowable costs less indirect
costs.
If the organization chooses this method for allocating direct costs, enter “Yes” and
review lines 12 through 14. Otherwise, enter “No” and proceed to question 15.
Line 12:
If Yes is entered on line 11, the calculated indirect allocation rate is automatically
populated on this line.
The formula for the calculation is described in Table 5: Ratio of Direct Costs.
Table 5: Ratio of Direct Costs
Direct CCBHC Costs
( Total Allowable Costs - Indirect Costs )
Line 13:
If Yes is entered on line 11, the indirect cost to be allocated is automatically
populated on this line from line 49, column 9, of the Trial Balance tab.
Line 14:
“Calculated indirect costs allocable to CCBHC services,” which is calculated by
multiplying lines 12 and 13 above, is automatically populated on this line. If line 14 is
greater than zero, no additional information is needed in this tab.
Line 15:
If none of lines 1, 7, or 11 are entered as “Yes,” provide a thorough description of the
indirect costs allocated to CCBHC services in the Allocation Descriptions tab. This
detailed description should include references to line items in the Trial Balance tab
that describe the basis as well as the calculation of the indirect cost.

Allocation Descriptions Tab
Use the Allocation Descriptions tab for describing calculations and methods that support the
allocation methodology of direct and indirect costs. Each allocation should be referenced to the
applicable adjustment or reclassification on the appropriate tabs. If the trial balance contained the
adjustments or reclassifications prior to importing into the cost report, note the methodologies and
calculations used. This information can be summarized and should contain occupational grouping,
allocation statistics, and the allowable adjustments or reclassifications as applicable.
Additional documentation supporting the summarized allocations should be kept on file for review.
Documentation should be sufficient to permit the preparation of reports required by general and
program-specific terms and conditions, as well as to permit the tracing of funds to a level of
expenditures adequate to establish that such funds have been used according to the federal
statutes, regulations, and terms and conditions of the federal award. 2
If an allocation is used for direct costs, describe the allocation method in detail on this tab. For
example, direct costs for psychiatrists may be summarized as an occupational group with the
allocation percentages from the day log or a Random Moment Time Study applied to the total salary
for the group. If a Random Moment Time Study was performed, it should follow a CMS-approved
methodology. The allocation method likely creates a reclassification amount that should be
described in the Trial Balance Reclassification tab. The CCBHC should offset salary costs by
applicable revenues, such as grants received.
The allocation of home office adjustments must be described in detail. Home offices usually furnish
central management and administrative services, such as centralized accounting, purchasing,
personnel services, management direction and control, information technology and other costs. To
the extent that the home office furnishes services related to patient care to a provider, the
reasonable costs of such services are included in the CCBHC’s direct costs. If the home office of
the organization does not provide services related to patient care, the home office may be included
in the indirect facility costs allocated to CCBHC services.
If completing line 15 of the Indirect Cost Allocations tab, describe the indirect cost allocation method
in detail on this tab. For example, a portion of the facility is directly attributable and exclusively
used to provide CCBHC services. For each expense, describe the method for allocating related
costs, such as percentage of square footage. The total of all indirect expenses allocable to
CCBHCs should equal the amount on line 15 of the Indirect Cost Allocations tab.

CC PPS-2 Rate Tab
Use the CC PPS-2 Rate tab to calculate a preliminary PPS rate based on costs for all CCBHC
demonstration services provided to all CCBHC clinic users irrespective of payer. The calculation of
the PPS rate is preliminary and will be finalized by the state in accordance with the state’s policy
concerning outlier payments.
Costs must be allocated to the standard and special populations identified in Section 10 (Monthly
Visits tab) of this document. One acceptable method of allocating cost by population is multiplying
a cost-to-charge ratio by charges incurred for each population. The cost-to-charge ratio represents
total costs, including anticipated costs for all users regardless of payer divided by all charges for all
users regardless of payer. Each individual charge is multiplied by the ratio to estimate the cost of
performing each service. Those costs should be categorized by patient and evaluated to determine
if costs exceed the outlier threshold.
The use of the cost-to-charge ratio requires uniform charges for comparable demonstration
services. The state may require an attestation that the CCBHC is using a uniform charges each
time the service is provided during the month. As a condition of participation in the demonstration
program, CCBHCs must collect and report encounter, clinical outcome, and quality improvement
data. CCBHC consumer claim or encounter data must be linkable to the consumer’s pharmacy
claims or utilization information, inpatient and outpatient claims, and any other claims or encounter
data necessary to report the measures. The CCBHC should be recording this information per
CCBHC criteria 5.a.4.
PART 1 – COST-TO-CHARGE RATIO ALLOCATION
Column Descriptions
The columns in this tab categorize costs using the cost-to-charge ratio according to (1) whether
they are at, below, or above the monthly outlier threshold and (2) whether they were allocated to
certain conditions or to the standard population. Prior to completing the cost reports, the state
should have specified the outlier threshold and the conditions. Cost-to-charge ratios are applied to
the covered charges for each case to determine whether the costs of the case exceed the outlier
threshold. Each state will determine the cost thresholds for outlier payment, which will affect
reporting of charge data.
Column 1a:
Enter the total costs and charges at or below the monthly outlier threshold for
patients without certain conditions.
