GENERAL

All independent organ procurement organizations (OPOs) and independent histocompatibility
laboratories (Labs) must submit Form CMS-216-94 for cost reporting periods ending on or after
December 31, 1994. Effective for cost reporting periods ending on or after March 31, 2005, the
electronic cost report (ECR) file is considered the official means of cost report submission.
Form CMS-216-94 is used for the following cost reports:
o

Independent OPO,

o

Independent histocompatibility laboratory, and

o
Independent organizations which operate both an OPO and a Lab that have two CMS
certification numbers (CCNs) within the same administration.
Do not use the forms to calculate the amount of home office costs of a chain organization on the
OPO/Lab cost report. Chain organizations follow the procedure in CMS Pub. 15-2, Cost to Related
Organization chapter 10. These forms are not to be used by any hospital-based OPOs.
An OPO that only performs kidney procurement functions (and has no cost associated with other
organizations or other non-renal activities) can bypass the allocation Worksheets B and B-1. Flow
the cost directly from the trial balance of expenses (Worksheet A) to the total cost applicable to
kidney acquisition (Worksheet C).
An OPO that performs organ procurement for renal and non-renal organs must complete a separate
Worksheet A-2 for each type of organ. The OPO must go through cost finding to ensure that
overhead is allocated to all types of organ acquisition. Tissues, such as skin, cornea, bone, heart
valves, and pancreas islet absent adequate cost finding methodology need not go through cost
finding. Rather, income received is offset against cost associated with transplant coordinator costs
on Worksheet A.
A lab that only performs tissue typing tests (renal and non-renal) and has no cost associated with
organ procurement clinical laboratory tests, blood bank activities, other components requiring
overhead allocations, and other non- tissue typing tests, bypass the allocation Worksheets B and
B-1. Flow the cost directly from the trial balance of expenses (Worksheet A) to the total cost
applicable to tissue typing lab (Worksheet C). The Medicare kidney related cost of the lab services
is determined on Worksheet C. Few laboratories qualify to bypass Worksheets B and B-1 since
clinical laboratory tests are normally performed in the same organization.
According to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, no persons are required to respond to a
collection of information unless it displays a valid OMB control number. The valid OMB control
number for this information collection is 0938-0102 (Expires 01/31/20XX). The time required to
complete this information collection is estimated average 45 hours per response, including the time
to review instructions; search existing data resources; gather the data needed; and complete and
review the information collection. If you have any comments concerning the accuracy of the time
estimate(s) or suggestions for improving this form, please write to: Centers for Medicare and
Medicaid Services, PRA Reports Clearance Officer, 7500 Security Boulevard, Mail Stop C4-2605, Baltimore, Md. 21244-1850. Please do not send applications, claims, payments, medical
records or any documents containing sensitive information to the PRA Reports Clearance Office.
Please note that any correspondence not pertaining to the information collection burden approved
under the associated OMB control number listed on this form will not be reviewed, forwarded, or
retained. If you have questions or concerns regarding where to submit your documents, please
contact 1-800-MEDICARE.

ROUNDING STANDARDS FOR FRACTIONAL COMPUTATIONS

Throughout the Medicare cost report, required computations result in the use of fractions. The
following rounding standards must be employed for such computation.
1.

Round to 2 decimal places
a. Percentages
b. Averages
c. Full time equivalent employees
d. Per diems, hourly rates

2.

Round to 4 decimal places
a. Sequestration (e.g., 2.092 percent is expressed as .0209)

3.

Round to 6 decimal places
a. Ratios (e.g., unit cost multipliers, cost/charge ratios)
b. Ratios (Medicare kidneys to total kidneys)

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 being allocated. Adjust this residual to the largest
amount resulting from the allocation so that the sum of the allocated amounts equals the amount
being allocated.

Line 1.--Enter the total number of kidneys retrieved and/or processed administratively. This
includes all viable and nonviable kidneys retrieved locally as well as kidneys obtained from all
other sources. Kidneys transplanted “en bloc” must be counted as one organ for allocation
purposes.
Line 2.--Enter the number of nonviable kidneys retrieved and/or processed administratively. This
includes kidneys that were not transplanted due to a defect and kidneys for which a recipient was
not located. Do not include kidneys that were sent to a foreign country for transplant on this line.
Include foreign kidneys on lines 1, 3, 4, and 6, as appropriate.
Note: Total kidneys included on line 1 and nonviable kidneys included on line 2 must include
kidneys that were determined to be unusable at the time of excision. For example, if
procurement is attempted and no kidneys are excised because they were determined to be
nonviable, two kidneys must be counted on both lines 1 and 2. However, kidneys that are
retrieved exclusively for research (known prior to retrieval) must be excluded from the count.
Line 3.--Enter the number of kidneys for which payment should have been received. It must equal
the amount entered on line 1 minus the amount entered on line 2 and correspond with the number
of kidneys transplanted and exported.
Line 4.--Enter the number of viable kidneys that were exported from your retrieval area. This
number includes viable kidneys sent to another independent or hospital-based OPO or to a foreign
country which received the kidney for potential transplant.
Line 5.--Enter the number of viable kidneys that were shared with a military hospital or VA
hospital in your retrieval area. Include this number in the total viable kidneys on line 3. A kidney
sent to another OPO, and subsequently sent to a VA or military hospital, is counted as a
VA/military kidney by the second OPO, not the originating OPO.
Note: OPOs that have an agreement with military and Veteran’s Affairs (VA) hospitals to
procure kidneys at no charge, but must give the military/VA institution the first opportunity
to use the kidneys, count these kidneys as sent to a military hospital or VA hospital on line 5.
These kidneys must also be shown as a local retrieval on lines 1, 2, and 3, as applicable, and
counted as sent to the military or VA hospital. In these cases, no revenue is shown. See CMS
Pub. 15-1, Chapter 31, Organ Donation and Transplant Reimbursement §3114 for an exception

WORKSHEET A - RECLASSIFICATION AND ADJUSTMENT OF TRIAL
BALANCE OF EXPENSES

This worksheet provides for recording the trial balance of expense accounts from the OPO/Labs
accounting records. It also provides for the necessary reclassifications and adjustments to certain
cost centers. The cost centers on this worksheet are listed in a manner which facilitates the transfer
of the various cost center data to the cost finding worksheets.
Not all of the cost centers listed may apply to all OPO/Labs.
A provider may elect to use different cost centers for allocation purposes in accordance with CMS
Pub. 15-1, §2313.
Standard (i.e., preprinted) CMS line numbers and cost center descriptions cannot be changed. If a
provider needs to use additional or different cost center descriptions, it may do so by adding
additional lines to the cost report. Added cost centers must be appropriately coded. Identify the
added line as a numeric subscript of the immediately preceding line. That is, if two lines are added
between lines 5 and 6, identify them as lines 5.01 and 5.02. If additional lines are added for general
services cost centers, corresponding columns must be added to Worksheets B and B-1 for cost
finding.
Cost center coding is a methodology for standardizing the meaning of cost center labels as used
by health care providers on the Medicare cost reports. Form CMS 216-94 provides for preprinted
cost center descriptions that may apply to OPO/Lab services 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. Additional cost center descriptions identified as “Other…” that have a
general meaning will hereafter be referred to as nonstandard labels. These nonstandard cost
centers allow for situations where no match in meaning to the standard cost centers can be found.
The use of this coding methodology allows providers to continue to use labels for cost centers that
have meaning within the individual facility. The four-digit cost center codes that are associated
with each cost center label in the electronic file provide standardized meaning for data analysis.
The preparer is 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 cost center
codes are in Table 5 of the electronic reporting specifications.
Where the cost elements of a cost center are separately maintained on your books, a reconciliation
of the costs per the accounting books and records to those on this worksheet must be maintained
and is subject to review by the contractor.
Column Descriptions
Columns 1, 2, and 3.--List on the appropriate lines in columns 1, 2, and 3 the total expenses
incurred during the cost reporting period. The expenses must differentiate between salaries
(column 1) and other (column 2). Include all fringe benefits paid to employees in column 2. The
sum of columns 1 and 2 must equal column 3. See CMS Pub. 15-1, §2144.1 for a definition of
fringe benefits.
Column 1.--Include only those amounts for persons employed by the OPO/Lab. This includes all
persons reported on Federal Tax Form 941. Do not include any payments to individuals who are
self-employed. Show only salaried and hourly wage employees on which taxes are withheld and
paid.

the cost centers shown on lines 13 through 25, transfer the amounts in column 7 to the appropriate
columns on Worksheet B. It is necessary to transfer costs to Worksheet B in all cases where
expenses must be allocated between an OPO and a dialysis unit or kidney foundation or any other
activity other than kidney transplant services. It is also necessary to allocate expenses if the OPO
procures non-renal organs in addition to its renal organs. In the case of a laboratory, it is necessary
to transfer cost to Worksheet B when expenses must be allocated between the tissue typing
laboratory and clinical laboratory. It is also necessary to transfer lab costs to Worksheet B where
overhead cost must be allocated between the lab and the blood bank.
2. If the OPO’s sole function is to provide the organ procurement services listed in §3302.1,
item 1, and costs do not need to be allocated to a tissue typing lab, non-reimbursable cost center
or non-renal organs, then total costs as shown on line 26, column 7, can be transferred directly to

WORKSHEET A-2 - ORGAN ACQUISITION COSTS (OPOs only)

This worksheet provides for a detailed listing of organ acquisition costs. Complete Worksheet A2 for each type of solid organ acquisition performed by the OPO by placing a checkmark in the
appropriate box on the top of this worksheet. This worksheet is only for solid organs and does not
apply to cornea and skin acquisitions.
Amounts Paid to Excision Hospitals.--A breakdown of hospital costs is necessary to properly
report organ acquisition costs for each type of organ procured. Obtain detailed bills from the donor
hospital. If the donor hospital does not sufficiently detail its bills, enter the identified costs on
lines 1 through 8, and enter the balance on line 9. If the donor hospital excises and bills for more
than renal organs on a single bill, the bill must be split by each type of organ procured. If there
are costs on the bill that are exclusively identifiable to a specific organ, enter those costs directly
on the appropriate Worksheet A-2. The remaining organ acquisition costs that are not specifically
identified are allocated to renal and non-renal organs based on the number of organs retrieved.
When both kidneys are procured from a donor, each kidney is counted as one organ for allocation
purposes except when both kidneys are transplanted “en bloc” (i.e. into one recipient). Organs
procured and transplanted “en bloc” are counted as one organ for allocation purposes. If two
kidneys are procured and one kidney is usable and one is not, they are still counted as two kidneys
(one viable and one nonviable). If prior to retrieval it is determined that the donor has only one
viable kidney, count one kidney for allocation purposes. Count heart/lung procurement as one
organ.

Line 1.--Enter the direct salary and other costs of the Medical Director of the tissue typing lab.
If the medical director’s salary and other benefits are totally attributable to the tissue typing lab,
then include the entire cost on Worksheet A-3, line 1.
If the Medical Director has management responsibility in addition to the tissue typing lab, then
include all of the cost on Worksheet A-1, line 1.
If the Medical Director has management responsibility for both the tissue typing lab and clinical
lab, then utilize a time study to calculate the cost applicable to each lab. If a time study is used, it
must detail the services performed for each lab and the actual time spent performing the services
(see CMS Pub. 15-1, chapter 23, Adequate Cost Data and Cost Finding §2313.2E). Retain the
time study for future reference. If a time study is not available, place the cost on Worksheet A,
line 8, and allocate on Worksheet B.
Line 2.--Enter the salaries and related cost of the technologist working in tissue typing only. If a

1. Reclassify rental expense on a specific piece of movable equipment which was charged
directly to the appropriate cost center on this worksheet to the Capital Costs - Movable Equipment
cost center unless the OPO/Lab has identified and charged all depreciation and rental expense for
all movable equipment to the appropriate cost centers. The OPO or Lab may not direct cost
individual pieces of equipment, unless all equipment can be direct allocated.
2. The expenses related to medical directors in the A&G cost center and tissue typing
technologies in the tissue typing lab may be reclassified on this worksheet if a time study can
support the reclassification of costs between two different functions. Reclassification is also
applicable to the lab medical director (in the tissue typing cost center) if the director is responsible
for more than one type of lab.
3. Reclassify the costs of any other item which was posted to your accounting records, but
is more appropriately included in another cost center for cost finding. For example, a procurement
coordinator’s salary and other costs related to non- renal organs which were included in kidney
acquisition costs must be reclassified to the appropriate organ-type cost center(s).
4. Capital related costs of rental leases, taxes, insurance, and interest included in A&G must
be reclassified to the capital-related expense cost centers.
Columns 4 and 7.--Transfer the amounts shown in these columns to the appropriate lines of
Worksheet A, column 4.

WORKSHEET A-5 - ADJUSTMENTS TO EXPENSES

This worksheet provides for adjustments to the expenses listed on Worksheet A, column 5, and
are shown or summarized on Worksheet A, column 6. Make the required adjustments on the basis
of cost or amount received. Enter the amount received only if the costs (including direct cost and
all applicable overhead) cannot be determined. If the total direct and indirect cost can be
determined, enter the cost. If cost is used, retain the calculation of the cost for future reference.
Once an adjustment to an expense is made on the basis of cost, do not, in future periods, determine
the required adjustment on the basis of revenue. Indicate the basis for the adjustment by entering
an “A” for cost or a “B” for amount received. Line descriptions indicate the more common
activities that affect allowable cost or result in costs incurred for reasons other than organ
transplantation and thus require adjustments.
Types of adjustments entered on this worksheet include (1) adjustment to expenses to reflect actual
cost incurred, (2) adjustment that constitute a recovery of costs through sales, charges , or fees, (3)
adjustment to expenses in accordance with the Medicare principles of reimbursement, and
(4)adjustments for those items that are provided for separately in the cost apportionment process.
When an adjustment to an expense affects more than one cost center, record the adjustment to each
cost center on a separate line on Worksheet A-5.

Line 3.--Enter the allowable home office costs which have been allocated to the OPO/Lab. The
home office cost report on which the allocation is made must be submitted to the contractor. (See
CMS Pub. 15-2, chapter 1, Depreciation §112.) For cost reporting periods beginning on or after
January 1, 2015, do not use this line. Home office costs must be reported on Supplemental
Worksheet A-5-1.

B, column 6, line 5. Worksheet A-5-1, represents the detail of various cost centers to be adjusted
on Worksheet A. (See CMS Pub. 15-1, chapter 10.)
Line 5.--Enter the total amount received from the procurement of any tissues such as corneas,
bone, heart valves, pancreas islet, and skin. Do not offset income for solid organ acquisitions,
such as livers, hearts, pancreas, and lungs, as they must go through cost finding on Worksheet B.
Line 6.--Remove the direct cost and applicable overhead of operating vending machines from
allowable cost. If cost cannot be calculated, then income received may be used.
Line 7.--Use income received from the rental or lease of equipment to reduce the cost of specific
equipment. When a building is owned or operated by the OPO/Lab and space is leased or rented,
the preferable treatment is to establish a non-reimbursable cost center on Worksheet A, line 25.
Record in this cost center the direct cost plus all applicable overhead of the rented or leased space.
A separate calculation of the cost of leased space may be acceptable and the cost offset on line 7
of Worksheet A-5 when the amount of the adjustment is minor. Only in rare situations is the rental
or lease income used as the offset on this line. If space is leased or rented to an outside organization
for the provision of a service needed for kidney transplantation (such as a perfusion lab), then the
income received from the organization for rent must be offset on this line.
Line 8.--Enter the amount of proceeds from the sale of organs which were retrieved exclusively
for research (known prior to retrieval) and sold.
Line 9.--Enter the costs incurred for public relations not related to organ procurement. See CMS
Pub 15-1, §2136 for an explanation of this area.
Line 10.--Offset revenue received from fees charged to attendees for OPO/Lab conducted seminars
and meetings against A&G. If a good faith effort is made to recover the costs in the form of fees,
CMS allows the costs not fully recovered.
Line 11.--The amount received from the sale of supplies to employees and others is a recovery of
cost and must be offset against the specific expenses.
Line 12.--Offset the amount received in investment income against interest expense. (See CMS

on line 13 and/or 14. (See CMS Pub. 15-1, chapter 1 Depreciation.) Examples of possible
situations are:
1. When the OPO/Lab utilizes the double declining balance method of depreciation on
assets purchased after August 1, 1970, the expense claimed on Worksheet A must be adjusted to
reflect the straight line method;
2. When the replacement cost method of accounting for fixed assets and depreciation has
been used, it must be adjusted to straight line;
3. When the 20 percent bonus depreciation has been used for book purposes, it must be
adjusted to straight line; and
4. When 150 percent declining balance has been used without approval, an adjustment is
required.
When adjustments are required due to differences in useful lives or depreciation methods, maintain
the fixed asset and depreciation records to support the depreciation expense allowed by Medicare
principles of reimbursement.

WORKSHEET B - COST ALLOCATION - GENERAL SERVICE COSTS AND
WORKSHEET B-1 COST ALLOCATION - STATISTICAL BASIS

Cost finding is the process of recasting the data derived from the accounts ordinarily kept by the
facility 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 and B-1 have been designed
to accommodate the step-down method of cost finding.
Worksheet B provides for cost finding using a methodology which combines similar types of costs
and apportions the costs to those cost centers which receive the services. The cost centers that are
serviced include all reimbursable and nonreimbursable cost centers within the facility. The total
direct expenses are obtained from Worksheet A, column 7. Schedule B-1 provides the statistics
necessary to allocate the cost to the revenue producing cost centers on Worksheet B. To facilitate
the allocation process, the general format of Worksheets B and B-1 are identical. The column and
line numbers for the general service cost centers are identical on the two worksheets.
The statistical allocation bases shown at the top of each column on Worksheet B-1 are the bases
of allocation of cost centers indicated. Certain centers are combined for cost allocation purposes.
OPOs and Labs must combine and allocate these costs as shown on the worksheet. Per CMS Pub.
15-1, chapter 23, §2313, a provider can change the order of allocation and/or allocation basis, as
appropriate, for the current cost reporting period if they submit a written request to their contractor,
90 days prior to the end of the reporting period and the contractor approves the request. The total
costs of each combined group of cost centers are allocated in one process to the revenue producing
and nonreimbursable cost centers.
On Worksheet B-1, enter on line 16 in each column the total statistical base over which the
expenses are allocated. For example in column 2, Cap-Bldg, OP Plant & Housekeeping, enter on
line 16 the total square feet of the facility. For all cost centers that column 2 costs should be
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 line 16. The statistics shown on Worksheet B-1 are multiplied by the unit cost multiplier on
line 18 of Worksheet B-1. Place the result on the corresponding line and column of Worksheet B.
Column Descriptions
Column 1.--Enter the direct costs for allocation from Worksheet A, column 7. Column 1, line 1
must equal the sum of the amounts on Worksheet A, column 7, lines 1 through 8.
Column 2.--Enter on Worksheet B, all costs that are allocated on the statistical basis of square feet
(sum of Worksheet A, column 7, lines 1, 5 and 6). Enter on Worksheet B-1 using the statistical
basis square feet, the actual square footage contained in each department or cost center. Include
in the organ acquisition cost center the square footage for the area occupied by the coordinators,
the direct clerical staff, files, etc.
Column 3.--Enter on Worksheet B, the costs from Worksheet A, column 7, line 2. The
recommended statistical basis on Worksheet B-1 is the dollar value of capital related movable
equipment located in each department.
Column 4.--Enter on Worksheet B, the costs from Worksheet A, column 7, line 3 that are allocated
on the statistical basis of direct salaries. The direct salaries statistics on Worksheet B-1 generally
are from Worksheet A, column 1 for each department. However, the salaries may need to be
adjusted to reflect changes to salaries shown as reclassifications and adjustments in columns 5 and
7 of Worksheet A. When a large number of changes to salaries are necessary, attach a separate
schedule to show the accumulation and reclassification of salaries by cost center.

Worksheet A, line 8 is subscripted, subscript column 6 accordingly.
Column 7.--Do not use for cost reporting periods beginning on or after May 1, 2012.
Column 8.--Enter on Worksheet B, the direct and indirect costs, sum of columns 1 through 7
associated with internal organ acquisitions. The total costs accumulated in column 8, line 2, are
allocated to the specific types of organ acquisition based on the number of organs procured. Utilize
the statistics (number of organs procured) on Worksheet B-1. The number of organs procured
means the total number of solid organs procured during the period including imported organs as
well as nonviable organs. For overhead allocation purposes, count a heart/lung acquisition as one
organ.
Column 9.--Enter the sum of columns 1 through 8, for each cost center on Worksheet B. The sum
for each cost center is the accumulated cost statistic. Unless an adjustment is required, enter the
sum for each cost center on Worksheet B-1, column 10 as the statistic for allocating A&G costs.
Columns 10 and 10A.--Accumulated costs are used to allocate A&G costs on Worksheet B,
column 10. Enter the accumulated costs from Worksheet B, column 9 to Worksheet B-1, column
10. If an adjustment to the accumulated cost statistic on Worksheet B-1, column 10, is required to
properly allocate A&G costs, enter the adjustment amount on Worksheet B-1, column 10A for the
applicable cost center and adjust column 10 accordingly.
Note: In accordance with CMS Pub. 15-1 §2314, allocation of indirect costs to a cost center that
includes only the cost of the Medicare portion would result in excessive assignment of indirect
costs to the program. For example, when the transportation costs for non-renal organs and tissue
typing materials are billed directly to the receiving transplant center and renal organs transportation
costs remain at the OPO, the reconciliation column on Worksheet B-1, column 10A, should be
used to reduce transportation costs from the accumulated cost statistic.
Column 11.--Enter on Worksheet B, the sum of columns 9 and 10. Total expenses in column 11
represent the full cost (direct and indirect) used for settlement purposes. Transfer kidney
acquisition costs on line 3, to Worksheet C, Part I, line 4. Transfer the tissue typing lab costs on
line 4, to Worksheet C, Part II, line 4. The remaining lines 5 through 14 are considered nonreimbursable costs.
Line Descriptions - (For lines 1 through 16, enter on Worksheet B, column 1)
Line 1.--Enter the general overhead costs from Worksheet A, column 7, sum of lines 1 through 8.
These costs are allocated in columns 2 through 7 and 10. The sum of columns 2 through 7 and 10,
line 1 must equal line 1, column 1. The costs in columns 2 through 7, line 1 are allocated to the
cost centers listed on lines 2 through 14 or 15.
Line 2.--Enter the costs from Worksheet A, column 7, lines 9 through 12. After all overhead has
been allocated, allocate organ acquisition costs to the various types of organ acquisition in column
8.

WORKSHEET C - COMPUTATION OF MEDICARE COST

Part I - Kidney Acquisition
Line 1.--Enter the total number of viable kidneys procured from Worksheet S-1, Part I, line 3,
column 3.
Line 2.--These are kidneys sent to Medicare transplant centers or certified OPOs. It does not
include kidneys sent to foreign countries, VA hospitals, or military hospitals. Kidneys sent to a
military transplant center that has a reciprocal sharing agreement with the OPO may be included
on this line. However, this agreement must be approved by the contractor and have been in effect
prior to March 3, 1988. Kidneys reported on this line must also be included in total viable kidneys
reported on line 1.
Line 3.--Divide the amount on line 2 by the amount on line 1 and enter the result, rounded to 6
decimal places.
Line 4.--Enter the total cost of kidney acquisition from Worksheet B, column 11, line 3 or
Worksheet A, column 7, line 26, as appropriate. (See instructions in §3304 for Worksheet A,
column 7, and Worksheet A, line 26, item 2.)
Line 5.--Multiply the ratio on line 3 times the cost on line 4. Transfer the result to Worksheet D,
column 1, line 1.
Part II - Tissue Typing Laboratory
The gross ratio of Medicare charges to total charges applied to cost is the formula used to calculate
Medicare reimbursable cost for kidney transplant related tests. This formula requires that the
amount charged for each test be the same for all types of payers for similar services, e.g.,
Histocompatibility Locus Antigen (HLA) typing is charged at the same rate for a kidney transplant
patient, paternity, and bone marrow. The amount recorded as the charge or revenue must be the
gross charge prior to any discounts or contractual allowances.
Line 1.--Enter the gross charges recorded for all tests (renal and non-renal) performed in the tissue
typing lab. The amount is prior to any discounts or contractual allowances. Base this amount on
the accrual basis of accounting.
Line 2.--Enter the gross charges recorded for pre-transplant kidney related tissue typing tests. This
amount is prior to discounts or contractual allowances and is on the accrual basis of accounting.
NOTE: If the cost report is a partial year under the program (e.g., expenses are from July 1 June 30, but cost reimbursement is effective April 1 or three of the twelve months), show
on line 2 only the kidney related charges starting with the effective date of cost
reimbursement.
Line 3.--Divide the amount on line 2 by the amount on line 1 and enter the result, rounded to 6
decimal places.
Line 4.--Enter the total cost of the tissue typing lab from Worksheet B, column 11, line 4 or
Worksheet A, column 7, line 26, as appropriate. (See instructions in §3304 for Worksheet A,
column 7, and Worksheet A, line 26, item 3.)
Line 5.--Multiply the ratio on line 3 times the amount on line 4. Transfer the result to Worksheet
D, column 2, line 1.

KIDNEY PLACEMENT EFFORTS - DOCUMENTATION REQUIREMENTS

To ensure proper utilization and distribution of kidneys, OPOs and certified transplant centers
(CTCs) furnishing organ procurement services for kidney transplants under the Medicare program
must maintain adequate and verifiable records for each kidney retrieved and furnished to a
Medicare patient. Since it is not possible to determine at the time of retrieval whether an individual
kidney will be placed with a Medicare beneficiary, a placement effort record must be maintained
for every kidney.
A. For each kidney retrieved, independent and hospital-based OPOs and CTCs must
maintain a record (e.g., a log) showing the attempts to place the kidney with Medicare transplant
patients and the final disposition of the kidney. Include the following information:
o
Name of individual making calls;
o
Name of donor;
o
Time (date, hour, minute, e.g., 11/18/86, 9:45 p.m.) of retrieval;
o
Name of donor center;
o
Name and telephone number of each OPO/CTC contacted as a potential user, including
the name of the person talked to at the OPO/CTC and the time (date, hour, and minute) of contact;
o
Name of OPO or CTC that accepts the kidney and time and date sent;
o
Disposition of the kidney if not placed, i.e., non-viable; and
o
Age of kidney when shipped.
Attach to the log a copy of their computer printout on the kidney.
B. Independent and hospital-based OPOs and CTCs that are offered kidneys must maintain
records (e.g., a log) containing the following information:
o
Name and telephone number of OPO or CTC offering the kidney;
o
Name of donor;
o
Time (date, hour, and minute) of retrieval or age of the organ at time of offering;
o
If accepted, indicate time accepted, name of recipient, and social security number (or
health insurance number), or other identifying information; and
o
Reason kidney not accepted (if applicable).

ELECTRONIC REPORTING SPECIFICATIONS FOR FORM CMS-216-94
TABLE 1 - RECORD SPECIFICATIONS
Table 1 specifies the standard record format to be used for electronic cost reporting. Each
electronic cost report submission (file) has three types of records. The first group (type one
records) contains information for identifying, processing, and resolving problems. The text used
throughout the cost report for variable line labels (e.g., Worksheet A) and variable column headers
(Worksheet B-1) is included in the type two records. Refer to Table 5 for cost center coding. The
data detailed in Table 3 are identified as type three records. The encryption coding at the end of
the file, records 1, 1.01, and 1.02, are type 4 records.
The medium for transferring ECR files to contractors is CD, flash drive, or the CMS-approved
Medicare Cost Report E-filing (MCReF) portal, [URL: https://mcref.cms.gov]. ECR files must
comply with CMS specifications. Providers must seek approval from their contractor regarding
the method of submission to ensure that the method of transmission is acceptable.
The following are requirements for all records:
1. All alpha characters must be in upper case.
2. For micro systems, the end of record indicator must be a carriage return and line feed,
in that sequence.
3. No record may exceed 60 characters.
4. The "Usage" column in all tables specifies the format of each data item as follows:
9 Numeric, greater than or equal to zero.
-9 Numeric, may be either greater than or less than zero.
9(x).9(y) Numeric, greater than zero, with x or fewer significant digits to the left of
the decimal point, a decimal point, and exactly y digits to the right of the
decimal point.
X Character.

TABLE 2 - WORKSHEET INDICATORS
This table contains the worksheet indicators that are used for electronic cost reporting. A
worksheet indicator is provided for only those worksheets for which data are to be provided.
The worksheet indicator consists of seven digits in positions 2-8 of the record identifier. The first
two digits of the worksheet indicator (positions 2 and 3 of the record identifier) always show the
worksheet. The third digit of the worksheet indicator (position 4 of the record identifier) is used
to identify Supplemental Worksheet A-5-1. For Worksheets A-4 and A-5, if there is a need for
extra lines on multiple worksheets, the fifth and sixth digits of the worksheet indicator (positions
6 and 7 of the record identifier) identify the page number. The seventh digit of the worksheet
indicator (position 8 of the record identifier) represents the worksheet or worksheet part.

TABLE 2 - WORKSHEET INDICATORS
FOOTNOTES:
(a) Multiple Worksheets for Reclassifications Before Stepdown
The fifth and sixth digits of the worksheet indicator (positions 6 and 7 of the record) are
numeric from 01-99 to accommodate reports with more lines on Worksheets A-4. For reports
that do not need additional worksheets, the default is 01. For reports that do need additional
worksheets, the first page is numbered 01. The number for each additional page of the
worksheet is incremented by 1.
(b) Multiple Worksheets A-2
This worksheet is used for kidney, liver, heart, pancreas, lung and other organ acquisition costs.
The fourth digit of the worksheet indicator (position 5 of the record) is an alpha character of K
for kidney, L for liver, H for heart, P for pancreas, U for lung and O for other. When more
than one “other organ” is identified the 7th digit of the worksheet indicator will be (1 to 9). The
first “other organ” indicator will always be zero. Two or more “other organ” indicators will
be (1 to 9) (i.e. A20O000, A20O001).

TABLE 3 - LIST OF DATA ELEMENTS WITH WORKSHEET, LINE, AND COLUMN
DESIGNATIONS
This table identifies those data elements necessary to calculate an OPO or Lab cost report. It also
identifies some figures from a completed cost report. These calculated fields (e.g., Worksheet B,
column 11) are needed to verify the mathematical accuracy of the raw data elements and to isolate
differences between the file submitted by the OPO or Lab complex and the report produced by the
fiscal intermediary. Where an adjustment is made, that record must be present in the electronic
data file. For explanations of the adjustments required, refer to the cost report instructions.
Consistency in line numbering (and column numbering for general service cost centers) for each
cost center is essential. The sequence of some cost centers does change among worksheets.
Table 3 refers to the data elements needed from a standard cost report. When a standard line is
subscripted, the subscripted lines must be numbered sequentially with the first subline number
displayed as "01" or "1" (with a space preceding the 1) in field locations 14-15. It is unacceptable
to format in a series of 10, 20, or skip subline numbers (i.e., 01, 03), except for skipping subline
numbers for prior year cost center(s) deleted in the current period or initially created cost center(s)
no longer in existence after cost finding. Exceptions are specified in this manual. For Other
(specify) lines, i.e., Worksheet settlement series, all subscripted lines should be in sequence and
consecutively numbered beginning with subscripted line number 01. Automated systems should
reorder these numbers where providers skip or delete a line in the series.
Drop all records with zero values from the file. Any record absent from a file is treated as if it
were zero.
All numeric values are presumed positive. Leading minus signs may only appear in data with
values less than zero that are specified in Table 3 with a usage of "-9". Amounts that are within
preprinted parentheses on the worksheets, indicating the reduction of another number, are reported
as positive values.

ELECTRONIC REPORTING SPECIFICATIONS FOR FORM CMS 216-94
TABLE 5 - COST CENTER CODING
INSTRUCTIONS FOR PROGRAMMERS
Cost center coding is required because there are thousands of unique cost center names in use by
providers. Many of these names are peculiar to the reporting provider and give no hint as to the
actual function being reported. Using codes to standardize meanings makes practical data analysis
possible. The method to accomplish this must be rigidly controlled to assure accuracy.
For any added cost center names (the preprinted cost center labels must be pre-coded), preparers
must be presented with the allowable choices for that line or range of lines from the lists of standard
and nonstandard descriptions. They then select a description that best matches their added label.
The code associated with the matching description, including increments due to choosing the same
description more than once, will then be appended to the user’s label by the software.
Additional guidelines are:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•

Do not allow any pre-existing codes for the line to be carried over.
Do not pre-code all “Other” lines.
For cost centers, the order of choice must be standard first, then specific nonstandard, and
finally the nonstandard “Other . . .”
For the nonstandard “Other . . .”, prompt the preparers with, “Is this the most appropriate
choice?," and then offer the chance to answer yes or to select another description.
Allow the preparers to invoke the cost center coding process again to make corrections.
For the preparers’ review, provide a separate printed list showing their added cost center names
on the left with the chosen standard or nonstandard descriptions and codes on the right.
On the screen next to the description, display the number of times the description can be
selected on a given report, decreasing this number with each usage to show how many remain.
The numbers are shown on the cost center tables.
Do not change standard cost center lines, descriptions and codes. The acceptable formats for
these items are listed on page 33-525 & 33-526 of the Standard Cost Center Descriptions and
Codes. The proper line number is the first two digits of the cost center code.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR PREPARERS

Coding of Cost Center Labels
Cost center coding standardized the meaning of cost center labels used by health care providers on
the Medicare cost reporting forms. The use of this coding methodology allows providers to
continue to use their labels for cost centers that have meaning within the individual institution.
The four digit codes that are required to be associated with each label provide standardized
meaning for data analysis. Normally, it is necessary to code only added labels because the
preprinted standard labels are automatically coded by CMS approved cost report software.
When additional cost center descriptions have been identified, these additional descriptions are
hereafter referred to as the nonstandard labels. Included with the nonstandard descriptions is an
“Other . . .” designation to provide for situations where no match in meaning can be found.

ELECTRONIC REPORTING SPECIFICATIONS FOR FORM CMS 216-94
TABLE 5 - COST CENTER CODING
Both the standard and nonstandard cost center descriptions along with their cost center codes are
shown on Table 5. The "use" column on that table indicates the number of times that a given code
can be used on one cost report. You are required to compare your added label to the descriptions
shown on the standard and nonstandard tables for purposes of selecting a code. Most CMSapproved software provides an automated process to present you with the allowable choices for
the line/column being coded, and automatically associates the code for the selected matching
description with your label.
Additional Guidelines
Categories
Make a selection from the proper category such as general service description for general service
lines, organ acquisition overhead cost center descriptions for organ acquisition overhead cost
center lines, etc.
Use of a Cost Center Coding Description More Than Once
Often a description from the "standard" or "nonstandard" tables applies to more than one of the
labels being added or changed by the preparer. In the past, it was necessary to determine which
code was to be used and then increment the code number upwards by one for each subsequent use.
This was done to provide a unique code for each cost center label. Most approved software systems
associate the proper code, including increments as required, once a matching description is
selected. Remember to use your label. You are matching to CMS’s description only for coding
purposes.
Cost Center Coding and Line Restrictions
Use cost center codes only in designated lines in accordance with the classification of cost
center(s), e.g., cost center codes within the nonreimbursable services cost center category of both
standard and nonstandard coding.

TABLE 6 - EDITS
Medicare cost reports submitted electronically must be subjected to various edits, which are
divided into two categories: Level I and level II edits. These include mathematical accuracy edits,
certain minimum file requirements, and other data edits. Any vendor software that produces an
electronic cost report file for Medicare OPOs and/or HLs must automate all of these edits. Failure
to properly implement these edits may result in the suspension of a vendor's system certification
until corrective action is taken. The vendor’s software should provide meaningful error messages
to notify the OPO or HL of the cause of every exception. The edit message generated by the
vendor systems must contain the related 4 digit and 1 alpha character, and where indicated, the
reject/edit code specified below. Any file containing a level I edit will be rejected by your fiscal
intermediary without exception.
Level I edits (1000 series reject codes) test that the file conforms to processing specifications,
identifying error conditions that would result in a cost report rejection. These edits also test for
the presence of some critical data elements specified in Table 3. Level II edits (2000 series edit
codes) identify potential inconsistencies and/or missing data items that may have exceptions and
should not automatically cause a cost report rejection. Resolve these items and submit appropriate
worksheets and/or data supporting the exceptions with the cost report. Failure to submit the
appropriate data with your cost report may result in payments being withheld pending resolution
of the issue(s).
The vendor requirements (above) and the edits (below) reduce both intermediary processing time
and unnecessary rejections. Vendors should develop their programs to prevent their client OPOs
and/or HLs from generating either a hard copy substitute cost report or electronic cost report file
where level I edits exist. Ample warnings should be given to the provider where level II edit
conditions are violated.
NOTE: Dates in brackets [ ] at the end of an edit indicate the effective date of that edit for cost
reporting periods ending on or after that date. Dates followed by a “b” are for cost
reporting periods beginning on or after the specified date. Dates followed by an “s” are
for services rendered on or after the specified date unless otherwise noted. [10/31/2000]
