National Academy for State Health Policy (NASHP) Hospital Cost Calculator (Excel spreadsheet):
All Medicare-certified hospitals are required to file an annual Medicare Cost Report (MCR) to provide data that describe a hospital’s characteristics, financial information, costs and charges.
The MCR includes hospital utilization data, costs and charges by cost centers and payers, related party and home office costs and hospital reimbursements. It also includes Medicaid cost, charges and supplemental payments as reported by the hospital. MCRs are required filings for Medicare-reimbursable facilities such as hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, home health agencies, hospices, rural health clinics, federally qualified health centers, and comprehensive outpatient rehabilitation facilities. The facility must complete and file a cost report yearly, due five months after its fiscal year end. NOTE: NASHP’s Hospital Cost Calculator (HCC) is designed for hospital reporting only.
