Affiliated Entities Data Submissions

• • Fiscal year 2025 by December 1, 2026
  • Future fiscal years due 100 days after hospital and health system fiscal year end

For the Affiliated Entities filing, entities will report all information as required for fiscal year 2025. This submission is due by December 1, 2026 and will serve as the starting point for subsequent years’ filings. Subsequent years’ filings will be due 100 days after the end of an entity’s fiscal year. Filers will be expected to update their previous year’s filing to account for information in the fiscal year requested. The first submission is expected to be the only time filers will be required to complete the entire template from a blank slate.

After the filer has completed the initial filing on behalf of their Hospital Health System, CHIA will determine whether additional information is required and notify the filer as appropriate.

All Affiliated Entity data will be submitted using CHIA’s pre-formatted Excel template. Filings are required to be submitted through https://chiasubmissions.chia.state.ma.us,  CHIA’s web-based transaction service. If you are a new provider or new user and do not have log in credentials, you must register with CHIA.

For the FY 2025 filing, only the following relationships with Affiliated Entities must be reported:

• Significant Equity Investors (SEI) that meet the definition of Private Equity Firm
• Management Service Organizations (MSO) that have common ownership or Control with the Health Care Entity and are not part of the same consolidated financial organization
• Realty companies, including Real Estate Investment Trusts, that own the property or building where a Health Care Entity provides inpatient hospital services.

If there are no relationships to report, please state this affirmatively and submit the filing.
