Report Resources
Submission Deadline
CHIA collects Resident Care Facility Cost Reports and other facility information on an annual basis. These reports are used by CHIA and other public entities for monitoring costs and for health care payment policy development.
Resident Care Facilities must submit HCF-2-RH, HCF-3, and HCF-4 cost reports in accordance with 957 CMR 6.00 and the filing requirements in the cost report forms and instructions, which can be found below. Facilities are encouraged to email report submissions to chia.data@state.ma.us in PDF format instead of mailing two paper copies of these reports to CHIA.
The name of the PDF file must include the name of the facility or entity and cost report type (HCF-2-RH, HCF-3, or HCF-4).
If you are mailing paper copies of the HCF-2-RH, HCF-3, or HCF-4 cost reports, two (2) copies of the reports must be mailed to:
Center for Health Information and Analysis
Provider Financial Analysis Group
501 Boylston Street
Boston, MA 02116
