DRAFT FORM CMS-265-11 4200



4200. GENERAL



Form CMS‑265‑11 must be completed by all independent end stage renal dialysis (ESRD) facilities that are not hospital-based for cost reporting periods ending on or after January 1, 2011. The Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act (MIPPA) §153(b) required the implementation of a bundled ESRD prospective payment system (ESRD PPS) for services furnished on or after January 1, 2011. The ESRD PPS provides a single payment to ESRD facilities that covers all of the resources used in providing outpatient dialysis treatment, including supplies and equipment used to administer dialysis (in the ESRD facility or at a patient’s home), drugs, biologicals, laboratory tests, training, and support services. Submit the form to your Medicare administrative contractor (MAC) (hereafter referred to as contractor) no later than the last day of the fifth month following the close of your cost reporting year. Round all reported amounts to the nearest dollar (unless specifically stated otherwise in the instructions) with negative figures or reductions in expenses shown in parentheses ( ).



Effective for cost reporting periods ending on and after December 31, 2004, the electronic cost report (ECR) file is the official means of cost report submission.



NOTE: This form is not used by ESRD facilities that are hospital-based. Hospital-based ESRD facilities continue to use Form CMS‑2552.



In addition to completing Form CMS‑265‑11, submit a copy of your facility’s audited (if available) or unaudited financial statement for the accounting period as specified in this cost report.



All facilities providing ESRD services to Medicare patients must meet conditions for coverage before they can qualify for Medicare reimbursement. These criteria are contained in 42 CFR 494.



The final cost report of a facility that voluntarily or involuntarily ceases to participate in the Medicare program is due no later than 150 days following the effective date of the termination of the facility agreement. The final cost report required from a facility that undergoes a change of ownership is due no later than 150 days following the effective date of the change of ownership.



Failure to submit this cost report may result in suspension of future payments until it is submitted, or revocation of your facility’s certification to participate in the program.



If your costs have been determined on the cash basis of accounting, make adjustments to conform to the Medicare program requirement that the accrual method of accounting be used.



You are required to report the necessary accounting data in accordance with the Medicare principles of reimbursement. These principles are contained in the regulations at 42 CFR 413.20 and 42 CFR 413.24, and in the Provider Reimbursement Manual (CMS Pub. 15‑1).



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 0938‑0236. The expiration date of this information collection is MM/DD/YYYY. The time required to complete this information collection is estimated to average 66 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 comments concerning the accuracy of the time estimate(s) or suggestions for improving this form, please write to: CMS, 7500 Security Boulevard, Attn:  PRA Reports Clearance Officer, Mail Stop C4-26-05, Baltimore, Maryland 21244‑1850. Please do not send applications, claims, payments, medical records, or any other 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 any questions or concerns regarding where to submit your documents, please contact 1‑800‑Medicare.



4200.1 Rounding Standards.--Throughout the ESRD cost report, where computations result in fractions, use the following rounding standards:



1. Round to two decimal places:

a. Percentages (e.g., percent ownership of facility, percent of customary work week devoted to business) (see 2b. below for exception)

b. Averages

c. Full time equivalents

d. Payment rate

e. Average cost per treatment



2. Round to six decimal places:

  1. Ratios (e.g., unit cost multipliers)

  2. Facility specific composite cost percentage



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.



4200.2 Acronyms and Abbreviations.--Throughout the ESRD cost report and instructions, a number of acronyms and abbreviations are used. For your convenience, commonly used acronyms and abbreviations are summarized below:

4203. METHOD OF PAYMENT



4203.1 Payment for Physician Services.--Physician services are paid differently depending upon whether the service is an administrative service, routine professional service, or a service rendered to patients undergoing self-dialysis and home dialysis training. For a definition of these services and a description of the methods of payment for these services, see 42 CFR 414.313, 414.314, and 414.316.



A. Administrative Services.--Administrative services are physician services that benefit the facility generally and are supervisory in nature. The services are not directly related to the care of an individual patient, but are supportive of the facility as a whole and of benefit to patients in general. Examples of administrative services include supervision of staff, staff training, participation in staff conferences and in the management of the facility, and advising staff on the procurement of supplies.



B. Physician Routine Professional Services.--Physician routine professional services for outpatient maintenance dialysis are services furnished to individual patients. Physician routine professional services are reimbursed under the monthly capitation payment (MCP) method (see 42 CFR 414.314) unless an election is made by all of the physicians in the facility to be paid under the initial payment method.



Under the MCP method, the physician is paid an amount for each patient to cover all professional services rendered by the physician. The associated costs are not included as part of your cost. They are, however, reported on the cost report as a separate line item.



Under the initial method of payment, the contractor pays the provider for physicians’ routine professional services. Payment under this method is in the form of an add-on to the composite rate and is included as part of your costs.



Certain services are not included in either the add-on under the initial method or in the MCP amount under the MCP method. These services are paid under the physician fee schedule and, therefore, are not included in your costs. These services are explained in 42 CFR 414.313(b) and 414.314(b), respectively.



C. Physician Payment for Self-Dialysis and Home Dialysis Training.--Payment for physician services rendered to dialysis patients undergoing self-dialysis training is a flat amount per patient. The payment is made in addition to any amounts payable under the initial or MCP methods. It is paid directly to the physician by the carrier and not included in your cost.



4203.2 Facility Payment for Self-Dialysis Training.--The base composite rate applies to outpatient maintenance dialysis furnished in the facility. A higher rate, consisting of the base plus a specified add-on, is paid for self-dialysis training sessions.



The Medicare program pays you for training both the patient and their dialysis partner if a partner is required. However, payment does not include travel to the facility or lost wages of the attendant during the training period. (See Medicare Claims Processing Manual, CMS Pub. 100‑04, chapter 8, §50.8, for specific instructions regarding payment for training services.)

















Rev. 6 42-7

4203.3 FORM CMS-265-11 04-21



4203.3 Facility Payment for Laboratory Services Included in Composite Rate.--The costs of certain ESRD laboratory services performed by either the ESRD facility or an independent laboratory (as defined in CMS Pub. 100‑04, chapter 8, §50.1) are included in the composite rate calculations. Therefore, payment for all of these tests is included in the composite rate and may NOT be billed separately to the Medicare program. This means that even though these laboratory tests may be furnished one time per month, you are paid for such services over the course of the month through the composite rate.



4203.4 Facility Payment for Home Dialysis.--For rules that apply to Medicare beneficiaries dialyzing at home, see CMS Pub. 100‑04, chapter 8, §70.1.

In accordance with 42 CFR 413.24(a) and 413.24(c), you are required to maintain statistical records for proper determination of costs payable under the Medicare program. The statistics reported on this worksheet pertain to the renal dialysis department. The required data includes patient data, the number of treatments, number of machines, and home program data. In addition, full time equivalent (FTE) data is required for staff employees and contract employees.



Column Descriptions



Column 1--Enter the statistics for outpatient hemodialysis patients on lines 1 through 11.











Rev. 6 42-11

4205 (Cont.) FORM CMS-265-11 04-21



Column 2--Enter the statistics for outpatient peritoneal dialysis patients on lines 1 through 11.



Column 3--Enter the statistics for training hemodialysis patients on lines 1 through 11.



Column 4--Enter the statistics for training peritoneal dialysis patients on lines 1 through 11.



Line Descriptions



Report the statistics on lines 1 through 11 for services furnished by you to patients that are in your facility or some other institution. Do not include services furnished to patients in their homes. Identify information as being either maintenance dialysis or training dialysis for either hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis.



Line 1.--Enter the number of treatments furnished directly at the facility and which were not billed to the Medicare program.



Line 2.--Enter the number of treatments furnished under arrangements and which were not billed directly to the Medicare program by you. An arrangement is an agreement between you and another institution in which you agree to furnish specified services to patients of the other institution, but the other institution retains responsibility for those services and for obtaining reimbursement for services furnished to them.



Line 3.--Enter the number of patients in the dialysis program at the end of the cost reporting period.



The statistics reported in lines 4 through 8 are used to calculate your utilization rate.



Line 4.--Enter the average number of times per week a patient received dialysis at the facility. This is computed by reporting your standard medical practice, if there was one (e.g., if you commonly dialyzed hemodialysis patients three times per week, report 3), or by counting the number of patient-weeks in the reporting period and dividing that number into the number of treatments by mode of dialysis.



Line 5.--Enter the average number of days that you furnished dialysis in an average week. This is computed by counting the number of days you were open for business during the period covered by the cost report and dividing this amount by the number of weeks in that period. Normally, the cost reporting period is 12 months, so the number of weeks in the denominator is 52.



Line 6.--Enter the average time of a typical patient dialysis session, including setup time in hours, rounded to the nearest half-hour.



Line 7.--Enter the number of machines regularly available for use.



Line 8.--Enter the number of standby machines held in reserve for patient overflow, emergency, and machine breakdown.



Line 9.--Enter in each column the number of staff shifts in a typical week during the cost reporting period.



Line 10.--Enter in each column the hours per shift in a typical week during the cost reporting period for the first shift on line 10.01, second shift on line 10.02, and the third shift on line 10.03.



Line 11.--Enter on lines 11.01 through 11.04 the total number of treatments (by type of treatment) furnished to patients and the frequency of the treatment. Enter on line 11.01 the total number of

treatments (by type of treatment) furnished to patients who received dialysis one time per week. Enter on line 11.02 the total number of treatments (by type of treatment) furnished to patients who received dialysis two times per week. Enter on line 11.03 the total number of treatments (by type of treatment) furnished to patients who received dialysis three times per week. Enter on line 11.04, the total number of treatments (by type of treatment) furnished to patients who received dialysis more than three times per week. Enter in each column of line 11.05, the sum of the amounts entered on lines 11.01 through 11.04.



Line 12.--



Column 1.--Indicate the type of dialyzers used by entering the number below that corresponds to the type.

1=Hollow Fiber, 2=Parallel Plate, 3=Coil, 4=Other



Column 2.--If the dialyzers were reused, indicate the number of times. If none were reused, enter zero.



Column 3.--If “4, Other”, is indicated in column 1, then indicate the type of dialyzer used.



Line 13.--Enter the number of backup sessions furnished to home patients. A backup session is a maintenance dialysis session furnished in the facility to a home patient. A patient who receives backup dialysis is considered a home patient if there is a reasonable expectation that the need for in-facility backup dialysis is only temporary and that the patient will return to home dialysis within a reasonable period of time.



Column 1--Enter the number of back up sessions for continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients.



Column 2--Enter the number of back up sessions for other patients.

4206. WORKSHEET A - RECLASSIFICATION AND ADJUSTMENT OF TRIAL BALANCE OF EXPENSES



This worksheet 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 on this worksheet are listed in a manner that facilitates the combination of the various groups of cost centers for purposes of cost finding. All of the cost centers listed do not apply to all facilities using these forms. Complete only those lines that are applicable.



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



Do not change standard (i.e., preprinted) CMS line numbers and cost center descriptions. If you need to use additional or different cost center descriptions, do so by adding additional lines to the cost report. Do this in such a manner that the entries bear a logical relationship to the standard line description preceding the added line. Identify the line added as a numeric subscript of the immediately preceding line. That is, if two lines are added between lines 3 and 4, identify them as lines 3.01 and 3.02. If you add additional lines for reimbursable cost centers, add corresponding columns on Worksheets B and B‑1 for each additional cost center.



Columns 1, 2, 3, and 4.--The expenses listed in these columns must be in accordance with your accounting books and records. List on the appropriate lines in columns 1, 2, 3, and 4 the total expenses incurred during the cost reporting period. The expenses must be detailed between salaries (columns 1 and 2) and other than salaries (column 3). The sum of columns 1, 2, and 3 must equal column 4. Any needed reclassifications and adjustments must be recorded in columns 5 and 7, as appropriate.



Column 5.--Enter any reclassifications among the cost center expenses that are needed to effect proper cost allocation.



Worksheet A‑1 is provided to compute the reclassifications affecting the expenses specified therein. This worksheet need not be completed by all facilities but must be completed only to the extent that the reclassifications are needed and are appropriate in the particular facility’s circumstances. Show reductions to expenses in parentheses ( ).



The net total of the entries in column 5 must equal zero on line 27.



Column 6.--Adjust the amounts entered in column 4 by the amounts entered in column 5 (increase or decrease) and extend the net balances to column 6. Column 6, line 27, must equal column 4, line 27.



Column 7.--Enter on the appropriate lines in column 7 the amounts of any adjustments to expenses indicated on Worksheet A‑2, column 2. Indicate those adjustments to expenses that are reductions in the expense by showing the figure in parentheses ( ). The total on Worksheet A, column 7, line 27, must equal Worksheet A‑2, column 2, line 100. The amounts entered on Worksheet A, column 7, lines 13, 19, and 23, must equal the amounts entered on Worksheet A, column 6, lines 13, 19, and 23, respectively.











42-20 Rev. 5

DRAFT FORM CMS-265-11 4206 (Cont.)



Column 8.--Adjust the amounts in column 6 by the amounts in column 7 (increase or decrease) and extend the net balances to column 8.



For cost centers with an asterisk (*) in the cost center description column, transfer amounts in column 8 to the appropriate columns and lines on Worksheets B and B‑1. See the instructions for Worksheets B and B‑1.

Line 1.--This cost center includes capital-related costs such as depreciation, insurance, interest, rent, and property taxes for land and land improvements (both non-depreciable) and depreciable assets (buildings and fixtures, including building improvements and fixed equipment).



Line 2.--This cost center includes capital-related costs of movable equipment and related expenses such as depreciation, insurance, interest, personal property taxes, and rent. It includes items such as office furniture, office equipment, and electronic health records systems. Movable equipment does not include renal dialysis machines or support equipment; report renal dialysis machines and support equipment costs on line 6.



Line 3.--This cost center includes the direct expenses incurred in the operation and maintenance of the plant and equipment and protecting employees, visitors, and facility property. Operation and maintenance of plant includes the maintenance and service of utility systems, such as heat, light, water (excluding water treatment for dialysis purposes), air conditioning, and air treatment; the maintenance and repair of buildings, parking facilities, and equipment; painting; elevator maintenance; and performance of minor renovation of buildings and equipment. The utility cost of water is included on this line. The cost of water treatment for dialysis purposes is not entered on this line, but rather is included in line 6, machine capital-related or rental and maintenance.



Line 4.--Housekeeping includes the cost of routine activities such as mopping, vacuuming, cleaning restrooms, lobbies, waiting areas and otherwise maintaining patient and non-patient care areas.



Line 6.--This cost center includes capital-related costs of renal dialysis equipment. Renal dialysis equipment includes dialysis machines, rented and/or purchased, and the cost of maintenance of the dialysis machines and support equipment; and the costs of water purification equipment and associated maintenance and repair and installation costs necessary to render the water acceptable for use in dialysis. Examples of such equipment are water softener (resin or deionizer type) and reverse osmosis machines.



Line 7.--This cost center includes direct salaries of all personnel who furnished direct care to dialysis patients. Direct salaries include gross salaries and wages of all such personnel, e.g., registered and licensed practical nurses, nursing aides, technicians, social workers, and dieticians.



Salaries paid to physicians are not included in this cost center but are allocated to cost centers on line 11 and either line 16 or line 19. Administrative costs are reported on line 11 and routine professional costs related to costs of direct patient care are reported on line 16 or 19. To compute this allocation, first separate the costs of physician administrative services versus direct patient care services. Separate these costs by the time spent in each activity. The remainder, costs of direct patient care, is split between routine professional services, line 16 or line 19, and other medical services which may be billed for separately by the physician to the Medicare carrier. If you pay malpractice insurance premiums applicable to physicians, see instructions for malpractice cost adjustments on Worksheet A‑2, line 19.

4208. WORKSHEET A‑2 - ADJUSTMENTS TO EXPENSES



This worksheet provides for the adjustments to the expenses listed on Worksheet A, column 6. These adjustments, which are required under the Medicare principles of reimbursement, are to be made on the basis of cost, or amount received. Enter the total amount received (revenue) only if the cost (including direct cost and all applicable overhead) cannot be determined. If the total direct and indirect cost can be determined, enter the cost. Once an adjustment to an expense is made on the basis of cost, you may not in future cost reporting periods determine the required adjustment to the expense on the basis of revenue. The following symbols are to be entered in column 1 to indicate the basis for adjustment: "A" for costs and "B" for amount received. Line descriptions indicate the more common activities which affect allowable costs or result in costs incurred for reasons other than patient care and, thus, require adjustments.



Types of items to be entered on Worksheet A‑2 are (1) those needed to adjust expenses to reflect actual expenses incurred; (2) those items which constitute recovery of expenses through sales, charges, fees, etc.; and (3) those items needed to adjust expenses in accordance with the Medicare principles of reimbursement. (See CMS Pub. 15‑1, chapter 23, §2328.)



Where an adjustment to an expense affects more than one cost center, you must record the adjustment to each cost center on a separate line on Worksheet A‑2.



Line Descriptions



Line 1.--Investment income on restricted and unrestricted funds which are commingled with other funds must be applied together against, but should not exceed, the total interest expense included in allowable costs. (See CMS Pub. 15‑1, chapter 2.)



Apply the investment income on restricted and unrestricted funds which are commingled with other funds against the administrative and general, the capital-related - buildings and fixtures, the capital-related - moveable equipment and any other appropriate cost centers on the basis of the ratio that interest expense charged to each cost center bears to the total interest expense charged to all of your cost centers.



Line 5.--Enter any adjustments to the various cost centers which have been included as costs paid directly by the carrier for physician’s services which are separately billable, i.e., declotting of shunts for facilities whose physicians are paid under the MCP method.



Line 6.--Enter allowable home office costs which have been allocated to you and which are not already included in your cost report. Use additional lines to the extent that various facility cost centers are affected. (See CMS Pub. 15-1, chapter 21.) For cost reporting periods ending on or after January 31, 2019, do not use this line.



Line 7.--The amount entered is obtained from Worksheet A‑3, Part B, column 6, line 5. Note that Worksheet A‑3, Part B, lines 1 through 4, represent the detail of the various cost centers to be adjusted on Worksheet A.



Line 8.--Remove the direct cost plus applicable overhead of operating vending machines from allowable cost. If cost cannot be calculated, then income received may be used.

Line 9.--Enter any adjustments to the cost for meals served to patients. Under Part B of Medicare, only medical services are covered in an outpatient setting. Therefore, food costs must be excluded from the total costs.



Line 10.--Enter the total compensation of physician routine professional services which are paid under the MCP method and related to the care of patients. This must equal the amount on Worksheet A, column 7, line 19.



Line 11.--Enter the direct cost including applicable overhead of dialysis services furnished to a hospital under arrangements.



Lines 13 and 14.--Where capital-related expenses computed in accordance with the Medicare principles of reimbursement differ from capital-related expenses per your books, enter the difference on lines 13 and 14. (See CMS Pub. 15‑1, chapter 1.)



Line 15.--Enter rebates taken on epoetin purchases prior to January 1, 2011.



Line 16.--Enter the cost of the approved drug epoetin furnished to both in-facility and home ESRD patients. This amount must equal the amount on Worksheet A, column 7, line 23, less the amount, if any, entered on line 15 of this worksheet. For services rendered on or after January 1, 2011, do not complete this line as epoetin will be paid as part of the ESRD PPS payment.

NOTE: Costs of drugs and biologicals are reported in column 10 and subsequently allocated into columns 11, 12, and 13, in order to determine basic composite rate costs and ESRD PPS costs. Basic composite rate costs are used in the determination of allowable bad debts.



Column 10.--This column allocates the cost of drugs (i.e., ESRD related and non-ESRD related), provided to both Medicare and non-Medicare patients, to lines 2 through 5. These drugs and biologicals include ESAs and any oral form of such agents as well as other drugs and biologicals that are furnished by, billed by, and reimbursed to, your facility. Do not include the cost of any drugs that were billed by physicians as such costs are not part of your facility’s costs. To determine the costs allocated to lines 2 through 5, use actual costs if separate expense accounts are maintained, or allocate these costs based on the supplier’s charges as reported on the costed requisitions. The cost or costed requisitions used for allocation purposes must bear a consistent relationship to the costs of all items and services. (See CMS Pub. 100‑04, chapter 8, §50.2)



Columns 11, 12 and 13.--These columns are used to allocate the costs identified on column 10, lines 2, 3, and 4, to the various modes of treatment on subscripted lines 8 through 17, based on actual costs or supplier’s charges.



Line Descriptions



Items and services that are covered under the composite rate are those commonly furnished as part of a typical dialysis service. These costs are reimbursed through your dialysis rate and may not be separately billed. The costs of items and services covered under the composite payment rate are allocated to the various modes of treatment on subscripted lines 8 through 17, Worksheet B. The costs of separately billable items and services are not allocated to various modes of treatment because they are not considered one of the dialysis service costs that are used in computing the composite payment rate.



Effective January 1, 2011, the ESRD PPS provides a single payment to ESRD facilities that will cover all of the resources used in furnishing an outpatient dialysis treatment, including supplies and equipment used to administer dialysis (in the ESRD facility or at a patient’s home), drugs, biologicals, laboratory tests, training, and support services.



Line 2.--Drugs included in basic composite rate are ESRD‑related drugs and biologicals that were paid under the composite rate payment system prior to January 1, 2011, and are considered in the calculation of the basic case-mix composite rate effective January 1, 2011.



Line 3.--The cost of ESAs prior to January 1, 2011, is adjusted on Worksheet A‑2. For services rendered on or after January 1, 2011, the cost of ESAs (including oral forms) is included in the ESRD PPS payment and are included on line 3 for proper allocation.



Line 4 .--ESRD‑related other drugs are drugs that are reimbursed under the ESRD PPS payment system effective January 1, 2011. DO NOT include the cost of oral-only drugs.



Line 4.01.--Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) related other drugs are drugs that are reimbursed in the AKI payment rate effective for services furnished on or after January 1, 2017. Do not include the cost of oral-only drugs.

Line 5.--Non-ESRD related drugs, supplies and lab services - for dates of service prior to January 1, 2011, these drugs, supplies and lab services are not reimbursed under the composite payment rate and are separately billable. For dates of service on or after January 1, 2011, include on this line the cost of drugs and biologicals, supplies, and lab services administered during dialysis for non-ESRD related conditions as well as oral-only drugs. Non‑ESRD related drugs, supplies, and lab services, as well as oral-only drugs, are excluded from the ESRD PPS payment and are separately payable.



Line 5.01.--AKI non‑renal dialysis related drugs, supplies and lab services are those items and services, furnished to AKI patients, that are not considered to be renal dialysis services as defined in 42 CFR 413.171, but that are related to the patient’s dialysis treatment as a result of their AKI, and are separately payable. For services on or after January 1, 2017, include the cost of AKI non‑renal dialysis related drugs, biologicals, laboratory services, and supplies, that ESRD facilities are certified to furnish. AKI non‑renal dialysis related drugs, supplies, and lab services, are excluded from the AKI payment rate and are separately payable. (See 42 CFR 413.374.)

4214. WORKSHEET E - CALCULATION OF BAD DEBT REIMBURSEMENT



4214.1 Part I - Calculation of Reimbursable Bad Debts Title XVIII - Part B.--Under the composite rate payment system for services prior to January 1, 2011, the contractor pays the facility its allowable ESRD bad debts, up to the facility’s unreimbursed reasonable costs as determined under Medicare principles. Under the ESRD PPS payment system, effective for dates of service on and after January 1, 2011, the contractor pays the facility for allowable ESRD bad debts, up to the facility’s unreimbursed reasonable costs for those items and services associated with the basic case-mix adjusted composite rate portion of the ESRD PPS payment rate. Allowable bad debts must relate to specific Medicare deductibles and coinsurance amounts.



Determination of bad debt amounts for the basic case-mix adjusted composite rate payment portion of the ESRD PPS payment, is based on the percentage of basic composite rate payment costs to total costs on a facility specific basis. The facility specific composite rate percentage is applied to the facility’s total bad debt amounts associated with the ESRD PPS payment. The resulting bad debt amount is used to determine the allowable Medicare bad debt payment in accordance with 42 CFR 413.89 of the regulations. During the transition periods, apply the facility specific composite cost percentage to the bad debt amounts associated with the transition portion of the ESRD PPS payment.



The resulting bad debt amount will be added to the bad debt amount associated with the transition portion of the facility’s ESRD reasonable costs to determine the total allowable Medicare bad debt (For example, a facility that does not elect 100 percent PPS, will be in transition period 1 for services rendered beginning January 1, 2011 through December 31, 2011. Under transition period 1, services rendered during this period are paid based on 75 percent composite rate and 25 percent ESRD PPS payment rate. The facility specific composite cost percentage will be applied to 25 percent of the bad debts and the resulting bad debt amount will be added to the transitional 75 percent to determine the total allowable bad debt pertaining to services rendered during this period).



EXCEPTION: The transition period payment method will not apply to an ESRD for services rendered on and after January 1, 2011, that (1) elected 100 percent of the payment amount to be based on the ESRD PPS payment, or (2) was certified for Medicare participation and began providing dialysis services on or after January 1, 2011.



Column 1.--Enter the total amounts by line description.



Column 2.--This column is used to compute the appropriate reduction to each amount reported in column 1, based on the facility’s transition period and application of their facility specific composite cost ratio.



Line 1.--Enter the sum of the amount from Worksheet D, column 5, line 11. The amount reported is reflective of the provider’s calculated basic composite rate payment cost.



Line 2.--For cost reporting periods that straddle January 1, 2011, enter in column 1, the sum of the amount from Worksheet D, column 7, line 11, minus any applicable Part B deductibles. Enter in column 2, the amount reported in column 1.

ELECTRONIC REPORTING SPECIFICATIONS FOR FORM CMS-265-11

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 four types of records. The first group (type 1 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 2 records. Refer to Table 5 for cost center coding. The data detailed in Table 3 are identified as type 3 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 MCReF portal, [URL: https://mcref.cms.gov]. ECR files must comply with CMS specifications. Providers must seek approval from their contractors 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.



Below is an example of a Type 1 record with a narrative description of its meaning.

It is prepared with vendor number A99's PC based system, version number 1. Position 38 changes with each new test case and/or approval and is an alpha character. Positions 39 and 40 remain constant for approvals issued after the first test case. This file is prepared by the ESRD facility on May 15, 2012 (2012136). The electronic cost report specification dated January 1, 2011, (2011001), is used to prepare this file.

TABLE 3 - LIST OF DATA ELEMENTS WITH WORKSHEET, LINE, AND COLUMN DESIGNATIONS



This table identifies those data elements necessary to calculate an ESRD cost report. It also identifies some figures from a completed cost report. These calculated fields (e.g., Worksheet B, column 8) are needed to verify the mathematical accuracy of the raw data elements and to isolate differences between the file submitted by the ESRD facility and the report produced by the contractor. 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.





Table 3 "Usage" column is used to specify the format of each data item as follows:



9 Numeric, greater than or equal to zero.

-9 Numeric, may be either greater than, less than, or equal to 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.



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 sub-line 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 sub-line numbers (i.e., 01, 03), except for skipping sub-line 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.

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 42‑524 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.



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. Refer to Worksheet A, line 17, 25 or 26.

ELECTRONIC REPORTING SPECIFICATIONS FOR FORM CMS-265-11

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 CMS‑approved 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, nonreimbursable cost center descriptions for nonreimbursable 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. Now, most approved software associate the proper code, including increments as required, once a matching description is selected. Remember to use your label. You are matching to CMS’ 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., lines 22 through 26 may only contain cost center codes within the nonreimbursable services cost center category of both standard and nonstandard coding. Refer to Table 1 for Type 2 cost center descriptions.

TABLE 6 - EDITS



Medicare cost reports submitted electronically are subjected to various edits, which are divided into two categories: level 1 and level 2. 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 ESRD 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 ESRD of the cause of every exception. The edit message generated by the vendor systems must contain the related 4 digit and 1 alpha character, where indicated, reject/edit code specified below. Any file containing a level 1 edit will be rejected by your contractor without exception.



Level 1 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 2 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 contractor processing time and unnecessary rejections. Vendors should develop their programs to prevent their client ESRD facilities from generating either a hard copy substitute cost report or electronic cost report file where level 1 edits exist. Ample warnings should be given to the provider where level 2 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]
