Nursing Facility Cost Report - Long-term Skilled or Intermediate Nursing Care Home Office or Related Party Support
Home office or related party organizations that support nursing facilities providing long-term skilled nursing care or intermediate nursing care are required to report financial information to NC Medicaid.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Providers with a home office must file the CMS 287 (Home Office) cost reporting forms per the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Publication 15, Section 3903. Providers must file a hard copy.
Providers with a related organization that is not subject to CMS 287 requirements must complete Worksheet A-8-1 per Medicare cost reporting principles. NC Medicaid will audit this accordingly and request supplemental information to ensure that only actual cost is reported and profit has been removed.
Providers with related organization/home office costs in CMS cost reporting schedules must submit a hard copy of the provider’s related organization/home office cost report.
FYE 2023 & 2024
Nursing facility providers will file full 12-month cost reports using the CMS 2540-10 cost reporting forms plus the NC Medicaid Supplemental Schedules. The cost report period will be the provider's normal fiscal year end as registered with Medicare.
