Part III. Filing Requirements and Fee Structure
12VAC5-215-50. Annual historical filing.
Each individual health care institution shall submit an annual historical filing of revenues, expenses, other income, other outlays, assets and liabilities, units of service, and related statistics as prescribed in § 9-158 (Repealed) of the Code of Virginia on forms provided by the board together with unconsolidated certified audited financial statements. If the health care institution is part of a publicly held company, the individual institution may submit unconsolidated unaudited financial statements. Investor-owned institutions organized as proprietorships, partnerships, or S-corporations that impute income tax on the annual historical filing report an imputed income tax based on the maximum tax rates for federal and state income. The combined rate for 1989 is equal to 34% for individuals and 40% for corporations. Operating losses may be carried forward no more than five years but may not be carried back to prior years. The schedule of imputed income taxes shall be reported as a note to the financial statements or as a supplemental schedule of the certified audited financial statements submitted to the board by the institution. The annual historical filing and the unconsolidated certified audited financial statement shall be received by the board no later than 120 days after the end of the respective applicable health care institution's fiscal year. The requirement for the submission of an annual historical filing and an unconsolidated certified audited financial statement may be waived if a health care institution can show that an extenuating circumstance exists. Requests for a waiver must be submitted in writing prior to the due date. Examples of an extenuating circumstance include, but are not limited to, involvement by the institution in a bankruptcy proceeding, closure of the institution, change of ownership of the institution, or the institution is a new facility that has recently opened.
Each health care institution with licensed nursing home beds or certified nursing facility beds shall exclude all revenues, expenses, other income, other outlays, assets and liabilities, units of service and related statistics directly associated with a hospital, continuing care retirement community, or with adult care residence beds in the annual report filed with the board. For those health care institutions that participate in either the Medicare or Medicaid program, the cost allocation methodology required by the Virginia Department of Medical Assistance Services and Medicare for cost reports submitted to it shall be utilized for filings submitted to the board. Any health care institution that does not participate in the Medicare or Medicaid program may develop and utilize an alternative methodology to determine the nursing home portion of its costs if it chooses not to utilize the cost allocation methodology used by the Department of Medical Assistance Services and Medicare. That methodology shall then be approved by the board and the health care institution must continue to utilize that methodology for all subsequent filings unless a subsequent change is approved by the board.
