On Sept. 22, 2015, Draffin & Tucker partner, Charles Horne, and managers, Jeff Askey and Lisa Gilmore, developed a guide, Understanding the Hospital Medicare Cost Report Uncompensated and Indigent Care Data Form CMS-2552-10 (Worksheet S-10), which was published on the National Rural Health Resource Center website. It was developed to provide rural hospital executive and management teams with a greater understanding of Worksheet S-10. It was also designed to assist State Offices of Rural Health directors and Flex Program coordinators in gaining a better understanding so that they may develop educational trainings to further assist rural hospitals with preparation and utilization of Worksheet S-10.
The guide provides rural hospital executive and management teams a practical approach to understanding how the reported data could impact future Medicare uncompensated care payments and how it currently impacts Medicare and Medicaid Electronic Health Record Incentive Payments.
