The Medicare cost report apportions actual costs to the Medicare program using charges for ancillary services and patient days for nursing services. Caring for Medicare patients fulfills a community need and relieves a government burden as these patients typically have low or fixed income. Therefore, any shortfall should be included as a community benefit. Part III, Line 9b: The collection policy states that the patient must cooperate with the Hospital to provide the information and documentation necessary to apply for other existing financial resources that may be available to pay for health care services, such as Medicaid. Then the information is gathered and assessed in order to determine eligibility for charity care.
