The cost report contains provider 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).

The Cost Performance Report (CPR) Format 1 includes current period, cumulative, and at complete values for each WBS element. It also contains header data showing quantity, targets, ceilings, and Management Estimate At Completion (MEAC) calculations.

The cost report should include all the relevant cost elements that affect your project, such as labor, materials, equipment, subcontractors, overhead, contingency, and profit. Each cost element should be broken down into subcategories or line items, depending on the level of detail required.

The four steps procedure to prepare the production cost report includes: Summarize the flow of physical units. Compute output in terms of equivalent units of production. Compute the cost per equivalent unit of production. Assign cost to units completed and units in process.

Cost reports show financial data in monthly, weekly, and even daily summaries. These provide all the parties involved with insights into the financial health of the project and the related trends. They can help illuminate areas for cost cutting.

CMS generally makes payment for inpatient stays under the Inpatient Prospective Payment System (IPPS). The hospital IPPS makes payments to acute care hospitals for each Medicare patient or case treated (refer to Section 1886(d)(1)(B) of the Act for hospitals that are excluded from the IPPS).

It typically includes information about the budget, actual costs, and any variances between the two. The report can also include details about labor costs, materials, and other expenses related to the project.
