Checking Reports

20.2 - Checking Reports (Rev. 6, 08-30-02) A3-3893.2 Before submitting Form D to CMS, the intermediary checks its completeness and arithmetical correctness. This check not only ensures accuracy but also uncovers other errors and inconsistencies. It uses the following checklist: For each column: • Line 1 + 2 = 3. • Line 7 + 8 = 6. • Line 10 + 11 = 9. • Line 6 + 9 = 12. • Line 3 + 4 - 12 = 13. • Line 5 must be equal to or less than line 4. • Line 14 must be equal to or less than line 13. • Line 15 must be equal to or less than line 14. • Line 18 + 19 + 20 + 21 = 17. • Line 23 + 24 + 25 + 26 = 22. • Line 28 + 29 + 30 + 31 = 27. • Line 33 must be equal to or less than line 32. • Line 35 + 36 + 37 = 34. • Columns 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 = 1 for lines 1-33. • Columns 2 + 3 = 1 for lines 34-37. The intermediary bases all data reported on the CMS-1566 on actual counts and not on any types of estimates or samples.
