Nursing Facilities Cost Report Submission Update

DATE: March 6, 2019

The Center for Health Information and Analysis (CHIA) would like to update you regarding the 2018 Nursing Facility Cost Reports.

• The HCF-1 Cost Report can be completed from CHIA's INET website at: https://inet.chia.state.ma.us/inetn/Login.aspx.

• The HCF-2, Realty Company Cost Report, is available for download and completion from CHIA's website at: http://www.chiamass.gov/nursing-facility-cost-report-forms-and-instructions/.

• The HCF-3, now called the Management Company Cost Report (MGT-CR), has been reformatted for 2018. This form will be submitted electronically via CHIA Submissions. CHIA Submissions is an online application for both entering and uploading data including management company expenses, organization structure, related party transactions and other administrative expense details. This application will be available for entering and uploading data later this Spring. Please Note: The account numbers used in the new management company cost report have changed. We are posting the account crosswalk in anticipation of the changes.
  
  In order to submit the new Management Company Cost Report, you must complete CHIA submission and ownership forms for each 2018 management company. Each entity must also file a Non-Confidential Data Security Agreement. Cost report submitters must also complete a CHIA INET User Agreement for Nursing Facilities if they have not already done so.
  
  These forms are located at: http://www.chiamass.gov/nursing-facility-cost-report-forms-and-instructions/ 

• Please note that we will adjust the due dates of the HCF-1, HCF-2-NH and MGT-CR (formerly HCF-3) reports to allow facilities not less than 60 days following the release of the MGT-CR to complete them.
