Non-Institutional Reimbursement Unit

This unit performs rate setting functions for many programs categorized as “non-institutional”, which includes home health services. Included in these functions is receiving and maintaining cost reports filed by each home health agency.

The cost data forms are outlined in Appendices C (freestanding) and D (hospital based) of Part II Policies and Procedures for Home Health Services.
