Section 1181.72. Interim reporting

Except for intermediate care facilities for the mentally retarded, a facility may file an interim cost report as justification for an interim rate change. However, the interim report may not be filed prior to January 1 (a report received prior to that date will be returned), and shall cover a 6-month period. If an interim report is filed, a 12-month report covering the facility’s fiscal year shall still be filed.

The provisions of this § 1181.72 codified July 24, 1981, effective July 25, 1981, 11 Pa.B. 2610; amended May 3, 1985, effective retroactively as of July 1, 1984, 15 Pa.B. 1629. Immediately preceding text appears at serial page (85080).

Notes of Decisions

A corporation which merged with a Medicare health provider and the provider’s parent company could challenge interim reimbursement rates effective after the merger, since the provider did file ‘‘final cost reports’’ for the beginning of the facilities fiscal year.
