Abstract
This final rule extends the time frame providers have to file cost reports from no later than 3 months after the close of the period covered by the report to no later than 5 months after the close of that period. This change is necessary to ensure that providers have an adequate amount of time to file complete and accurate cost reports. We are also defining what HCFA considers to be an ``acceptable'' cost report submission.
