program at the ADHC site. Is a home office report required?
A. Without knowing the specifics in this situation, it is difficult to offer a simple yes or no response. DHCS, however, offers the definition of a chain organization published in CMS Pub 15-1, Section 2150. If a particular ADHC Center is part of a chain organization and an allocation of cost from the home office is included in the ADHC Center’s cost report, then a Home Office cost report must be filed in order for the allocated costs to be considered allowable.
