    Provider Statistical and Reimbursement System (PS&R). The Medicare Provider Statistical and Reimbursement (PS&R) system produces a variety of reports for Medicare Part A providers, Fiscal Intermediaries (FIs), Medicare Administrative Contractors (MACs), and the Centers for Medicare and
    Medicaid Services (CMS).These reports accumulate statistical and payment data for specific provider types, including hospitals, hospital complexes, skilled nursing facilities, hospices, end stage renal disease facilities, comprehensive outpatient rehabilitation facilities, and home health agencies.The PS&R provides the following:

    • All providers can request their own summary reports directly in the system.
    • Users can define report selection criteria such as report types, numbers, service types and date ranges.
    • Providers can submit online requests for detail reports. The FI/MAC authorizes and sends them.
    • Reduces the time to obtain the data used to complete the cost reports by providing a central repository for all claims data.

    An annual report submitted by all institutional providers participating in the Medicare program. The report is submitted on prescribed forms, depending on the type of provider (hospital, skilled nursing facility, etc.). The cost information and statistical data reported must be current, accurate, and detailed enough to support an accurate determination of payments made for the services rendered.

    CMS maintains this data in the Healthcare Provider Cost Reporting Information System (HCRIS).

    Cost reports are generally due five months after the end of your fiscal year. It’s suggested you wait long enough after your fiscal year-end to allow late-paid claims to be included in PS&R data. However, run your reports early enough to obtain all data before your due date. Contact your Medicare Administrative Contractor at least 45 days before the due date if you encounter any issues.
