Reporting Requirements
Links to instruction documents are posted on this webpage under Data Submission Resources. Please read all instructions carefully.
- In previous years, providers were required to submit either a partial or full cost report depending on the revenue amount received from MassHealth.
- This year, providers are only required to fill out the partial cost report, which will be referred to as the “Revenue Report” moving forward.
- Providers are no longer required to submit financial statements with the Revenue Report.
