Fed Regist. 1995 Jun 27;60(123):33123-6.
This final rule responds to comments on the May 25, 1994, final rule with comment period that implemented a standardized electronic cost reporting system for all hospitals under the Medicare program. In that rule, we solicited comments on the requirement that cost reporting software be able to detect changes made to the electronic file after the provider has submitted it to the fiscal intermediary. This final rule responds to comments on that requirement and clarifies that although changes to the "as-filed" electronic cost report are prohibited, an intermediary makes a working copy of the as-filed electronic cost report for use in the settlement process.
本最终规则是对1994年5月25日最终规则的评论的回应，该规则设有评论期，实施了针对医疗保险计划下所有医院的标准化电子成本报告系统。在该规则中，我们就成本报告软件在提供者将其提交给财务中介机构后能够检测对电子文件所做更改的要求征求了意见。本最终规则是对关于该要求的评论的回应，并澄清虽然禁止对“已提交”的电子成本报告进行更改，但中介机构会制作一份已提交电子成本报告的工作副本用于结算过程。
