Requires nursing homes to submit certain cost reports to DOH in annual financial report.

This bill requires New Jersey nursing homes to include their most recent federal cost report (submitted to Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services) in their annual financial report to the state Department of Health. Nursing homes must also file separate cost reports for central or home offices if those costs are reported on the nursing home's cost report. The Department of Health will then compile this data into an annual public report showing aggregated spending trends by region and county (without naming individual facilities) and publish it online for transparency.
