Today, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) released an annual update to the Hospital Cost Report Public Use File (Hospital Cost Report PUF) with data for 2015. The Hospital Cost Report PUF is a streamlined, easier to use version of the cost report data submitted by Medicare-certified hospitals. The PUF is organized at the hospital-level and includes select facility characteristics, utilization measures, cost and charges by cost center (in total and for Medicare), Medicare settlement data, and financial statement data.
