Abstract: Form CMS-339 assists providers in the preparation of an acceptable cost report and minimizes subsequent contact between the providers and their intermediaries. Form CMS-339 provides the data necessary to support the information in cost reports. This includes information the providers use to develop the provider and professional components of physician compensation so that compensation can be properly allocated between the Part A and the Part B trust funds. CMS is seeking approval of the attached, revised of Form CMS-339.
