Cost Apportionment for HCPPs
10 - Cost Apportionment for HCPPs
(Rev. 30 09-05-03)
The term apportionment, as used here, refers to the process of distributing allowable costs
among various groups of cost-based HCPP patients. This chapter sets forth instructions
for apportionment of the total allowable direct and indirect costs of the HCPP among
Medicare beneficiaries enrolled in the HCPPs, other enrollees, and any nonenrolled
patients. Certain costs incurred by HCPPs for the purpose of meeting special Medicare
program requirements are separately identified and paid in full by Medicare. These are
discussed in Chapter 18, Subchapter B.
