CMS-64 Quarterly Expense Report

The amounts reported on Form CMS-64 and its attachments must be actual expenditures for which all supporting documentation, in readily reviewable form, has been compiled and is available immediately at the time the claim is filed. Form CMS-64 is a statement of expenditures for which states are entitled to Federal reimbursement under Title XIX and which reconciles the monetary advance made on the basis of Form CMS-37 filed previously for the same quarter. Consequently, the amount claimed on the Form CMS-64 is a summary of expenditures derived from source documents such as invoices, cost reports and eligibility records. All summary statements or descriptions of each claim must identify the claim and source documentation. Claims developed through the use of sampling, projections, or other estimating techniques are considered estimates and are not allowable under any circumstances. Where states are unable to develop and document a claim for expenditures on a current basis, they must withhold it until the actual amount, supported by final documentation, has been determined. The state must report that amount on a future Form CMS-64 as a prior period adjustment.

Title XXI, enacted by the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 (BBA) and technical amendments made by Public Law 105-100, created the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) which provides Federal matching funds to states to enable them to extend coverage to uninsured, low-income children in an effective, efficient manner. The states can elect to fund this title through a Medicaid expansion plan. The Form CMS-64 has been amended to report these expenditures on the Forms CMS-64.21, CMS-64.21p, CMS-64.21U and CMS-64.21Up.

The automated Medicaid Budget and Expenditure System/State Children's Health Insurance Program Budget and Expenditure System (MBES/CBES) has been implemented nationwide. The system allows states to electronically submit their Form CMS-64 directly to the CMS Data Center and the Medicaid data base. When using the MBES/CBES, states do not have to submit a hardcopy of the signed certification statement to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. We have modified the MBES/CBES to allow States to complete the signature/certification form through the MBES/CBES and simply transmit this form to us.
