IPPS Dashboard

PPS Profile - Cost Report Based

The key measurements in this section are based on a hospital's annual cost report. The cost report contains information such as facility characteristics, utilization data, cost and charges by cost center (in total and for Medicare), Medicare settlement data, and financial statement data. CMS maintains the cost report data in the Healthcare Provider Cost Reporting Information System (HCRIS) which is updated quarterly and is based on a hospital's fiscal year.
