The Medtronic Cost Reporting Revisions Workbook is designed to assist hospital accountants and cost report preparers with implementation of recently adopted rules for the Medicare Cost Report. The workbook offers an overview of cost report rule changes and provides an explanation of why these changes are important to hospital reimbursement. Hospital personnel are shown different methods for organizing, collecting, and reporting data necessary to comply with the new federal requirements.

Every hospital will be different and the workbook may not resolve each hospital's specific issues or problems. However, by following the workbook's suggestions, each hospital should be more quickly able to respond to their unique circumstances and challenges.
