The datasets include only the most current cost report (as submitted, final settled, or reopened) submitted for a Medicare-certified hospital by the Medicare fiscal intermediary to HCFA. These datasets are updated at the end of each calendar quarter and are available on the last day of the following month." "The Capital Datasets contain selected data for capital-related costs, interest expense and related information, and complete balance sheet data from the Medicare Hospital Cost Report." "The Outpatient Datasets contain Part B Medicare cost and charges by cost center from the Medicare Hospital Cost Report." Quotes are from "Data Users Reference Guide".
