Or. Admin. Code § 411-070-0345

Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 10, October 1, 2024

Section 411-070-0345 - Allocation of Home Office and Regional Office Costs

(1) The initial step in the allocation of home office and regional office costs is direct allocation of all allowable costs directly attributable to a particular nursing facility (such as construction interest, salary where the administrator of a nursing facility in the chain is paid directly by the home office, etc.) or non-nursing facility activity.

(2) Other allowable costs must appropriately be allocated among the providers (and to any non-provider activities in which the home office or regional office may be engaged) on the basis of beds, resident days, or other bases, whichever most equitably allocates such costs. Revenues are not generally appropriate for distributing these costs. Where possible, allocation of costs are to be based on function and, consequently, the bases of allocation may appropriately be different, say for accounting costs and for personnel costs. Where the home office or regional office incurs costs for activities not related to resident care in the chain's participating providers, the allocation basis must provide for all allocation of costs such as rent, administrative salaries, other general overhead costs, organization costs, etc., that are attributable to non-resident care as well as resident care activities.
