Abstract: Form CMS-339 assists providers in the preparation of an acceptable cost report and minimizes subsequent contact between the providers and their intermediaries. Form CMS-339 provides the data necessary to support the information in cost reports. This includes information the providers use to develop the provider and professional components of physician compensation so that compensation can be properly allocated between the Part A and the Part B trust funds. CMS is seeking approval of the attached, revised of Form CMS-339.

Burden Increase Due to:

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The significant burden reduction is due to the fact that the information reported in the past by hospitals, SNFs, and ESRD facilities on Form CMS-339 has been incorporated into the new cost reports for those providers (i.e., into Form CMS-2552-10 for hospitals, Form CMS-2540-10 for SNFs, and Form CMS-265-11 for ESRD facilities.) Therefore, we are asking for an extension of Form CMS-339 only for the remaining provider-types, namely HHAs, CMHCs, freestanding RHCs/FQHCs, OPOs, and Hospices. We also eliminated former exhibits 2 through 4A and 6 because these exhibits were applicable only to hospitals and SNFs. (Former Exhibit 5 has been renumbered as Exhibit 2.)
