When can I submit interim costs?

Interim cost reports may be submitted on applications that meet all of the following conditions:

• Application must be approved.
• Payment Setup must be complete for the application.
• The first plan month has passed.

NOTE: All RDS applications have a maximum payment frequency of monthly interim payments, consistent with the general payment rules regarding timing set forth in 42 C.F.R. 423.888(b)(1). Although 12 interim payment requests are permitted, a Plan Sponsor may choose to submit fewer than 12 interim payment requests, or forego interim payments and instead choose to submit one final payment request during Reconciliation as described in 42 C.F.R. 423.888(b)(2)(ii).

After Payment Setup is complete for the application, the Report Costs action is available in the Left Navigation menu of the application.
