Program Description:
The Education Committee of the NJ-HFMA will present a full day training session on Medicare cost report preparation and completion. The presentation is geared to people who are either new to the industry, have minimal cost reporting experience, and/or want to refresh their knowledge regarding the various issues that involve the Medicare cost report. In addition to reviewing the steps required to complete a Medicare cost report, the presenters will also discuss planned revisions to the proposed CMS-2552-10 worksheets and other cost report changes noted in the FFY 2011 IPPS final rule. A session will also be devoted to an overview of the NJ SHARE cost report form and in particular the schedules that are still pertinent to impacting hospital reimbursement. We have selected presenters who have significant experience in these areas. PLEASE BRING ALONG A COPY OF YOUR HOSPITAL'S COST REPORT TO THE SESSION.
