Currentness
CMS has established the base year for calculation of a hospital's initial cost per Medicaid discharge as the cost reporting period of at least 12 months that immediately precedes the hospital's first cost reporting period that is subject to the rate-of-increase limit.
A. For Arkansas and bordering city rural hospitals, the base year was each hospital's first full cost reporting period that began on or after January 1, 1989. See Section 250.301, part A, for the criteria determining a hospital's rural status.
B. For all other Arkansas and bordering city hospitals, except Arkansas State Operated Teaching Hospitals and new pediatric hospitals, the base year was each hospital's first full cost reporting period that began on or after July 1, 1991.
C. The base year for Arkansas State Operated Teaching Hospitals was the full cost report period ending on or before June 30, 1989.
D. The base year for new pediatric hospitals is the initial cost-reporting period when the hospital enrolled as a pediatric hospital in the Arkansas Medicaid Program. See Section 250.610 for detailed information.
