The SNF 2540-96 Cost Report Data files (Release Date, October 9, 2008) - The files included with this release includes cost reports with fiscal years ending on or after September 30, 1996, received by HCRIS through 09/30/2008. The data files contain the highest level of Medicare cost report status. If HCRIS has both an as submitted report and a final settled report for a SNF for a particular year, the data files will only contain the final settled report. If HCRIS has an as submitted, final settled, and reopened report for a SNF for a particular year, the data files will contain the reopened cost report. There are a total of 158,225 cost reports. There is one dataset file for each fiscal year. There is a link to the Cost Report files by individual fiscal year in the left margin. NOTE: The SNF cost report data cannot be loaded into Microsoft Excel or Microsoft Access. The Rpt_Nmrc file is too large for these applications to handle. Most of our data users are loading the data into Oracle, SAS, SPSS Statistical Package, Microsoft SQL Server, and DB2. These files should be unzipped with Winzip 8.0 or a higher version. The total file is NO LONGER available as a download. Due to the large size of this file, it is necessary to purchase the CD. Media: CD ROM File Cost: $100.00 Period: FY1996 - FY2008
