Than a Full Year
(Rev. 1657, Issued: 12-31-08, Effective: 01-01-09, Implementation: 01-05-09)
The contractors must calculate a hospital CCR using the most recent full-year cost report
if a hospital or CMHC has a short period cost report.
The contractors must use the Statewide CCR for all inclusive rate hospitals paid under
OPPS, or when a new provider does not have a full year’s cost report and has no cost
report history.
See §10.11.10 for the location of the Statewide CCRs.
