November 8 2019 Rule Making Hearing on Hospital Expenditure Report Data CollectOctober 1, 2019 The Department of Health Care Policy and Financing - Medical Services will be holding a rulemaking hearing on Friday, November 8th, 2019, 9:00 am on rules regarding Hospital Expenditure Report Data Collect. The hearing will be held at: 303 East 17th Avenue, 11th Floor, Denver CO 80203. The purpose of this rulemaking is:
The recent adoption of House Bill 19-1001, Hospital Transparency Measures to Analyze Efficiency, codified at 25.5-4-402.8, C.R.S., requires the Department of Health Care Policy and Financing to develop and publish a report on hospital uncompensated care costs titled the Hospital Expenditure Report. To accomplish this, hospitals are required to report audited financial statements, Medicare Cost Reports, and additional self-reported data (utilization, financial, and physician and hospital acquisitions). The proposed rule provides definitions of key terms and details the data collection process including specifying the hospital statements to be collected. If you believe there will be a significant negative impact on small business, job creation or economic competitiveness, you may request that the Department of Regulatory Agencies require the rulemaking agency to prepare a cost-benefit analysis of a proposed rule or amendment. This request must be made to the Department of Regulatory Agencies by Tuesday, October 15th, 2019. You may also submit comments directly to the rulemaking agency for the agency's consideration during the upcoming rulemaking hearing.
