Dear Hospital Partners,

The Colorado Department of Health Care Policy & Financing (the Department) would like to remind all general acute care hospitals that fiscal year (FY) 2020 Audited Financial Statements, FY 2020 Medicare Cost Reports, and a completed Hospital Expenditure Report-reporting template will be due on Sept. 1, 2021.
 
The Hospital Expenditure Report only requires general acute care hospitals to comply with the data request; long-term care, psychiatric, and rehabilitation hospitals are exempt.
 
Please make sure that you are using the updated template as of July 6, 2021, which is available on the Hospital Transparency website.

Please email all documents to the Department via the Hospital Transparency inbox on or by Sept. 1, 2021:

  • FY 2020 Certified Audited Financial Statements, or an equivalent as described in Section 25.5-4-402.8 of the Colorado Revised Statutes.
  • FY 2020 Medicare Cost Report.
  • A completed Hospital Expenditure Report reporting template.

If you have any questions, please direct them to the Hospital Transparency inbox.

Thank you,

Nancy Dolson
Special Financing Division Director
