CMS Issues Transmittal 1863 - FY2015 Worksheet S-10

Posted by Kyle Pennington on Jul 6, 2017 3:58:23 PM

On Friday, June 30, 2017, CMS released Transmittal 1863 (beginning on page 2), which included, among other items, guidance for MACs to follow for accepting cost reports containing revised Worksheet S-10 information. Similar to last year's Transmittal 1681, in order for MACs to accept amended cost reports due to revisions to Worksheet S-10 for FY 2015, CMS has put providers on notice by stating that “hospitals must submit their amended cost report containing the revised Worksheet S-10…no later than September 30, 2017.” CMS added, “Submissions received on or after October 1, 2017 will not be accepted.”

IPPS Proposed Rule 2018: Factor 3 - CMS Digging Heels In

Posted by Michael Newell on Jun 22, 2017 1:10:34 PM

On April 28, 2017, CMS published the FFY 2018 IPPS Proposed Rule in the Federal Register. Go HERE for our summary of the Medicare DSH/Uncompensated care payment portion of the rule. After years of discussion to use Worksheet S-10 uncompensated care data to distribute the Medicare DSH/UC pool always ending with CMS “kicking the can down the road”, it appears that CMS has finally dug their heels in. Who else just had a moment of deja vu?

Did anyone else have a moment of deja vu?
