Information about Submitting Cost Reports

Dear Nursing Care Institution Licensee:

Under the authority of Arizona Revised Statues §§ 36-125.04 and 36-436, the Department revised the rules in Arizona Administrative Code, Title 9, Chapter 11, to specify requirements for nursing care institution financial reporting.  The revised rules were approved by the Governor’s Regulatory Review Council and filed with the Secretary of State of October 2, 2007.  The rules specifying requirements for nursing care institution financial reporting are available on the Secretary of State’s web site at:
http://www.azsos.gov/public_services/Title_09/9-11.rtf.  If you wish a courtesy hard copy of the Title 9, Chapter 11, rules please contact us.

These rules are effective December 1, 2007.

There are two types of nursing care institution financial reports required by the Department:

• Nursing Care Institution Uniform Accounting Report (UAR), and
• Nursing Care Institution Rates and Charges.

Both reports are to be submitted to the Department as e-mail attachments to the Cost Reporting staff listed below.

1. The Nursing Care Institution Uniform Accounting Report (UAR): The UAR is due 150 days after the nursing care institution’s fiscal year end.

List of Nursing Care Institution UAR Due Dates

The Nursing Care Institution UAR (see forms and instructions below) will be posted on a schedule based on the facility’s fiscal year end date.  Reports will be posted in March, June, and December.  If a facility’s report is not received by the time of posting, there will be a blank space where the facility’s report should be posted.
