Cost Reports are submitted by Nursing Facilities each year and are used to determine a facility's daily rate. The cost reports are examined by Cost Reimbursement Analysts to determine which costs are allowable according to Chapter 74.46 RCW and Chapter 388-96 WAC. To check who is your facility's analyst, please see the Analyst List. The Cost Report Lead is Dana Mueller, who can be reached at (360) 725-2468. The Nursing Home Rates Manager is Tiffany Hills, who can be reached at (360) 725-2472 or Tiffany.Hills@dshs.wa.gov.
