HFS recently received approvals for the Hospital 2552-96, Transmittal 21 (our version 21.0.119.0), which we posted 3/12/2010; SNF 2540-96, Transmittal 17 (our version 17.0.119.0); HHA 1728-94, Transmittal 14/15 (our version 15.0.119.0); and RHC/FQHC 222-92, Transmittal 8/9 (our version 9.0.119.0). All of these MUST be used for cost reports with FYE on or after 10/1/2009. We expect to post the SNF, HHA, and RHC/FQHC updates this week (week of 3/15/2010). CMS was late with these approvals, so if you have begun your report on an older version, you simply need to do a Check for Updates (under Help in our software), and get the new version(s). You must use these new version to file reports with FYE of 10/1/2009 and after. See my earlier posts for the detailed changes in these Transmittals.
