DATE: January 12, 2024
This email outlines some important information about the upcoming 2023 SNF-CR (nursing facility), the REA-CR (the realty company), and the MGT-CR (management company/ central office) cost report deployment.
2023 Cost Report Deployment Timeline
CHIA plans to deploy the 2023 SNF-CR, the REA-CR, and the MGT-CR cost reports in late January. As in previous cost report cycles, CHIA will send out a deployment email to providers with relevant information. This information will include deadlines to submit, instructions on how to access the CHIA Submissions cost report portal, and relevant documentation to aid in submission.
Important Registration Forms for Preparers and Submitters
If you have new users requiring access to CHIA’s systems, or there were any changes in your facility’s owners, management, or realty companies, you will need to submit the following registration forms to log on to the system. Delays in the registration process for cost report preparers and submitters may impact your ability to file the cost report with the required timeline.
- Ownership changes and system user changes are to be communicated by completing the Long-Term Care Facility Information Form and emailing to Costreports.LTCF@chiamass.gov
- First time users that require access to CHIA Submissions must complete the Nursing Facility CHIA Submissions User Agreement and email to Costreports.LTCF@chiamass.gov
