50 - Enrollment and Marketing Costs
(Rev. 30, 09-05-03)
Enrollment and marketing costs are those necessary and proper costs incurred in offering
the HCPP to potential enrollees. These costs include selling, advertising, and
promotional activities incurred directly by the organization or under contract with outside
specialists. Enrollment and marketing costs are allowable to the extent they are
reasonable and do not exceed an amount that would be incurred by prudent and cost
conscious management.
These costs do not include membership costs (see §70) or special costs (see §90).
