Agencies will want to update their cost report forms to account for one new field and one field that has been removed.
CMS released the updated form on April 29, 2024. The changes include:
- Worksheet S — Revised Part I, line 4, to specify that options “F”, “L” or “N” are reported in column 1, and added option “H” to Part I, line 4, column 2, for a HHA providing no Medicare HHA services but providing Medicare hospice services during the cost reporting period.
- Worksheet D — Removed line 29.50 as providers need not report the late-filed notice of admission / request for anticipated payment amount.
