There are a total of 88,197 cost reports.

NOTE: The HHA cost report datasets for FY 1994-2009 cannot be loaded into Microsoft Excel.  The Rpt_Nmrc files are too large for this application.  

Most of our data users are loading the data into Oracle, SAS, SPSS Statistical Package, Microsoft SQL Server, and DB2.  Some users have reported successfully loading the data into Microsoft Access 2007; however, the stated limit from Microsoft is 2GB.  CMS does not support or provide any technical assistance of user's choice of data load. 

These files should be unzipped with Winzip 8.0 or a higher version.

There is a link to the Cost Report files by individual fiscal year in the left margin.  This link will take you to all the downloadable cost report files.  If you have problems unzipping and downloading the data files, you can purchase a DVD for $100.00.  The DVD and downloadable files contain the same data.  The ordering form is under the Downloads section.
