Submission instructions

Page updated: 2/7/24

This page includes instructions on how to review and submit the organization’s cost report.

Certification and attestation

The organization’s authorized agent must finalize and submit the report using their authorized agent account (i.e., login with “admin.” in front of the email). Only authorized agents can sign and submit cost reports. If the cost report preparer is not the authorized agent, they must notify the correct person to let them know the cost report is ready to review and submit.

The authorized agent must review the cost summary page to make sure all the reported information is correct. If the information is not correct or more information needs to be added, the authorized agent can work with the provider user or make the changes themselves.

After the authorized agent confirms all the reported information is correct, they must check the attestation box to affirm all the reported information is true to their knowledge. Then they select the submit button to complete the cost report. If there are discrepancies or sections of the report that require attention, the authorized agent will be prompted to make the necessary corrections before they resubmit the report. Again, the authorized agent can work with the provider user or make the changes themselves.

The authorized agent will not be able to make any changes after they submit the report. The authorized agent will have the opportunity to print a copy of the report for the organization’s records.

Submission

After submission, the authorized agent will see a confirmation page stating that they have submitted the report to DHS. Only authorized agents should see this page. If someone who is not the authorized agent sees this page, they should immediately email the DHS Cost Reporting Team at dhs.costreport@state.mn.us.
