ALLOWABLE COSTS
Section 1181.232a - Bed changes during a cost reporting period-statement of policy

(1) For cost reporting periods ending before June 30, 1988, the provider may use multiple Schedule C's or actual statistics. The preferred method for documenting this is to submit supplemental Schedule C's which identify costs being allocated by proper statistics for each period of change. These supplemental Schedule C's will then be combined on a summary Schedule C which would become the required Schedule C to be included in the MA-11 Cost Report. The supplemental Schedule C's should be submitted with the MA-11 Cost Report. For periods ending after June 30, 1988, the provider shall use multiple Schedule C's.

(2) For either time period, the absence of required documentation will result in zero cost. The absence of required documentation or the use of other methods which do not properly reflect use of the Department's required allocation bases or approved change in bases will result in zero cost being allowed for that line item.
