Submission Deadline
The Center for Health Information and Analysis (CHIA) is now collecting cost reports for the fiscal year (FY) 2021 from Adult Foster Care (AFC) providers. CHIA collects these reports pursuant to regulation 957 CMR 6.00. The reports are used by CHIA and other public entities for monitoring costs and for health care payment policy development. Dual providers of both Adult Foster Care (AFC) and Group Adult Foster Care services (GAFC) services must file separate cost reports.
PLEASE NOTE:
The Center for Health Information and Analysis (CHIA) is providing an opportunity to all adult foster care (AFC) providers to review and resubmit the FY2021 AFC cost reports. During the preliminary assessment of the submitted FY2021 cost reports, CHIA has found issues with some of the submissions. Please review your cost report to make sure there are no incomplete, inaccurate, or missing values in the cost report. In addition, CHIA is still accepting FY2021 AFC cost reports if you have not yet submitted your cost report.
AFC providers are required to submit the following:
NOTE: Please resubmit only (1) your excel cost report and (2) a new certification, if you had already submitted the initial FY2021 AFC cost report, financial statement, and certification.
CHIA only accepts cost reports in .xlsx format. Supporting documents such as the Financial Statements and Statement of Certification should be in PDF format. Additionally, if the numbers on the submitted cost report cannot be traced directly to the financial statements, include a reconciliation of the numbers in the cost report and the financial statements. This may be filed as an Excel spreadsheet attached to the electronic filing of the report.
Providers submit reports and all supplemental items directly to CHIA at data@chiamass.gov.
Links to download the Excel cost report and instruction documents are posted in the blue “Report Resources” box on this webpage. Please read all instructions carefully.
The reports are due no later than Tuesday, August 30, 2022.
