Who may submit final cost reports when using the mainframe submission method?
Anyone who has contacted CMS’ RDS Center and followed the appropriate instructions to submit cost reports using the mainframe is eligible to submit cost reports by using the mainframe to mainframe submission method. Vendors specify their cost reporting methods when registering with CMS’ RDS Center. Note: All Vendors must call the RDS Help Line to obtain a Vendor ID for each new submission method (mainframe or data entry).
