CMS Pub. 100-04, ch. 3, § 140.1.5
Changes in the Status of an IRF Unit
For purposes of payment under the IRF PPS, the status of an IRF unit may be
changed from not excluded from the IPPS to excluded from the IPPS at any time
within a cost reporting period as noted in 42 CFR §412.29. The hospital must notify
the A/B MAC (A) and OPOLE in writing of the change at least 30 days before the
date of the change. In addition, the hospital must maintain the information needed to
accurately determine which costs are and are not attributable to the IRF unit. A
change in the status of a unit from excluded to not excluded that is made during a
cost reporting period must remain in effect for the remainder of that cost reporting
period.
