Availability of One-Click Provider Statistical and Reimbursement Report (PS&R) Summary Report Downloads in the Medicare Cost Report E-Filing (MCReF) System
The purpose of this Change Request (CR) is to provide notification of new functionality available in the MCReF system. Effective May 13, 2025, Medicare Part A providers have the ability to download PS&R summary reports needed to prepare their Medicare cost report directly in MCReF for eligible providers and specific fiscal year ends. The PS&R summary reports are available via a one-click download in MCReF and are equivalent to the reports that can be generated in the PS&R system and are suitable for cost report preparation purposes. The goal of this new functionality is to make acquiring PS&R summary reports easier (one-click, rather than the current multi-screen flow for custom requests), faster (immediate download, no queue/inbox), and cost report vendor ready (format and dates aligned with cost report requirements).
