CMS, the United States government organization in charge of Medicare, regulates the specific requirements for these reports. { Medicare cost report software is strictly monitored to be CMS-compliant so that reports will be accurate and fulfill all requirements. Approved software must be updated regularly to remain compliant with regulations. Only software from an (approved vendor ) may be used. Cost reports must be submitted in electronic format, known as (Electronic Cost Reports ) or ECRs, via floppy disk, CD, or flash drive. Submission requirements include the ECR on one of the above media and a hard copy of the signed signature sheet. Supporting fiscal documentation is required, and may vary by fiscal intermediary a.k.a. MAC (Medicare Administrative Contractor).〔(Progressive Provider Services )〕 Cost reports are submitted to a facility's fiscal intermediary, assigned by the CMS, by mail or courier. Cost reports are due five months after the fiscal year end. Any delays are subject to withholding of Medicare reimbursement.
