Section 1187.53 - Allocating cost centers

(a) The nursing facility shall allocate costs between nursing facility and residential in accordance with the allocation bases established by the Department as contained in this chapter and the MA-11. If the nursing facility has its own more accurate method of allocation, it may be used only if the nursing facility receives written approval from the Department prior to the first day of the applicable cost report year.

(b) The absence of documentation to support allocation or the use of other methods which do not properly reflect use of the Department's required allocation bases or approved changes in bases shall result in disallowances being imposed for each affected line item.
