Review Checklist

Checklist Interface

The checklist interface allows multiple users to keep track of what has been completed on a cost report and communicate with each other more effectively. The checklist also allows for a complete cost report review process prior to submission of the Medicare cost report. 

The following statuses are used to designate the progress of each review point:

• Incomplete: This review point has yet to be completed by a preparer.
• Prepared: This review point has been completed by a preparer, indicating it is ready for review.
• Reviewed: A reviewer has verified that the review point has been properly completed.
• Finalized: A final reviewer has verified that the review point has been properly completed.

Using the checklist as a preparer:

• Review points with the status Incomplete require the preparer's attention
• When a review point has been completed, click Prepared
• If a review point is not applicable to a specific cost report, click NA for that point
• Clicking NA will automatically hide the review point
• The Prepared status indicates to the reviewer that the point is ready for review

Using the checklist as a reviewer:

• When a point is marked Prepared, the reviewer has the option of marking a point Incomplete, Reviewed, or Finalized (if applicable) If a point has not been completed properly, check the Incomplete box
• The point will then resurface for the preparer to complete
• If the point has been successfully completed, the reviewer can check the Reviewed or Finalized box (if applicable) depending on whether the reviewer is the in-charge or final reviewer
• Clicking NA will automatically hide the review point.

Filter review points:

A set of filter buttons reside at the top of the checklist. The filters Preparer, In Charge, and Final Reviewer will show only the open points applicable for that role. The All, Open, and Closed filters are general filters outside of the role. Click refresh to apply current filters to updated review points. Toggle NA points as hidden or visible via the Hide N/A checkbox which is checked by default.
