Attachment J-04 Billing Instructions

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

THE CENTERS FOR MEDICARE AND MEDICAID SERVICES

BILLING INSTRUCTIONS

Applicable to all cost-reimbursement type contracts, including cost-reimbursement portions of fixed price contracts, letter contracts which provide for reimbursement of costs, time and materials contracts and labor-hours contracts.

I. INTRODUCTION

These instructions reflect the standards of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services for adequately prepared vouchers or invoices. Prompt payment of claimed expenses and fee will be promoted by your compliance. Cost reimbursement contracts are subject to audit; therefore all costs claimed must be adequately supported by accounting records and other auditable data.

II. VOUCHER SUBMISSION

A. FORMS – In claiming reimbursement use either 1) the Standard Form (SF) 1034, Public Voucher for Purchases and Services Other Than Personal (with continuation sheet SF 1035), or 2) the Contractor’s own voucher forms. If the Contractor’s own forms are used, the billing content should agree with that illustrated in Exhibits A, B, C and HHS 646, Financial Report of Individual Project/Contract, if applicable.

B. NUMBER OF COPIES – Each voucher will be prepared in an original and four copies.

C. TIME FOR SUBMISSION – Vouchers may be submitted at the beginning of each billing period for costs incurred during the preceding billing period. Costs incurred earlier than the preceding month, but not previously billed, may be included, but the amount(s) and month(s) in which such costs were incurred must be stated on the SF 1035 (Exhibit C). Vouchers shall not be submitted more than once each month unless such arrangements are made with the Contracting Officer.

D. COST INCURRENCE PERIOD – Costs must be incurred, and the dates of the related “bill for” period must fall within the contract performance period as set forth in the original contract and any amendments thereto.

E. CONTRACTOR’S FISCAL YEAR – Vouchers should be prepared in such a manner that costs claimed can be associated or identified with the contractor’s fiscal year. This will ensure proper application of correct indirect cost rate(s) to the direct costs of a particular fiscal year.

III. PREPARATION OF PUBLIC VOUCHERS

Exhibits A, B and C illustrate the parts of a typical voucher. Specific comments directed to each part are as follows:

A. COMPLETION OF FORM 1034 – (Refer to Exhibit A) – On the Form 1034 or equivalent, the following information is required:

--All spaces numbered (1) should be left blank.

--Within (2) enter date voucher was prepared. Within (2)(a) enter voucher number.

--Within (3) put Contractor’s name and address to which payment should be made, except in case of assignment of claims.

--Within (4) enter the contract number and date of the contract.

--Within (5) enter the number and date of the applicable order. (Applicable only when billings are consequent to work assignments or task orders.)

--Within (6) identify the period the billing covers (enter the specific month/year, or months/year if quarterly).

--Within (7) each voucher submitted must be prominently identified as one of the following:

(i) Interim voucher – “COST-REIMBURSABLE PROVISIONAL PAYMENT”

(ii) Completion Voucher – “COST-REIMBURSABLE – COMPLETION VOUCHER.” Due within 6 months of the expiration of the contractor’s final fiscal year of performance, the completion voucher shall be accompanied by an indirect cost rate proposal based on the contractor’s actual cost experience in performance. [FAR 52.216-7(d)(2)(i)]

(iii) Final Voucher – “COST-REIMBURSABLE – FINAL VOUCHER.”

--Type the following certification, signed by an authorized official, on the face of SF 1034.

“I certify that all payments requested are for appropriate purposes and in accordance with the contract.”

(Name of Official)

(Title)

--Within (8) provide the dollar amount of this billing. The amount claimed must agree with the related amounts reflected in the Exhibits B and C.

B. COMPLETION OF SUMMARY OF EXPENDITURES – (Refer to Exhibit B) – This page follows directly behind the Form SF 1034 and contains two main categories of information: 1) gross summary of costs by category showing amount previously claimed, amount claimed under this voucher, and cumulative through this voucher; and necessary certifications and signature.

1. Gross Summary is illustrated by Exhibit B. Include only major categories of costs in the order illustrated.

2. Certifications and Signatures are illustrated in Exhibit B. The Certifications of Costs/Fee is mandatory; the Price Stabilization Certification is required only when called for in the SUBMISSION OF INVOICES AND PLACE OF PAYMENT article of the contract.

The next page in order should be the SF1035.

C. COMPLETION OF FORM 1035 – (Refer to Exhibit C) – On the “Detail” Form 1035, provide a breakdown to support the total amount cited in both Form 1034 and SUMMARY OF EXPENDITURES. The purpose of the detailed information is to assist the Contracting Officer and program personnel in relating costs incurred to work performed; also the Office of Financial Management (Finance) uses said data for administrative audit and certification of vouchers for payment. The several categories of cost will be itemized and described as follows:

1. Direct Labor costs consist of salaries and wages paid for work performed directly for the contract and pursuant to its terms. Such labor costs (excluding fringe benefits and overtime premium pay) will be billed as follows:

Provide the job title or classification of the worker, and provide for each classification: The number of hours worked, the hourly rate, and the total wage or salary. The name of the worker should usually be provided, but when a great number of routine workers are involved, the position classifications only will suffice.

The cost of direct labor charged to the contract must be supported by the time records maintained in the contractor’s office; when salaries are involved, reasonable estimates on a post basis may be used in lieu of time records.

2. Fringe Benefits are to be treated according to the contractor’s established practice:

a. If fringe benefits, bonuses, etc. are included in the overhead pools no entry is required.

b. Fringe benefits can be treated as direct costs, in which case:

Enter as direct labor cost expressed as a percentage factor of the direct labor base or expressed as a direct cost.

3. Materials and Supplies billed as direct cost items should include those types of items generally accepted as “expendable” to the degree that they have a relatively short life and, due to their nature, are expended in performance of the contract. However, certain other types of supplies which have a relatively long life but small cost may also be billed under this category. All supplies should be listed under major categories such as Office Supplies, Chemicals, Repairs, Parts, Small Hand Tools, etc.

NOTE: “Non-Expendable Equipment” is defined under paragraph 8 and is to be billed as outlined therein.

4. Premium Pay is the difference between the overtime pay rates and the straight time rate. Premium pay of any kind, unless provided for in the contract, must be authorized by the Contracting Officer in advance. Billings for unauthorized premium pay have caused delays in payment due to suspensions and exchange of correspondence. Generally such pay is not included in the direct labor base and should not be included in the billing for “direct labor” unless the contractor has consistently followed this practice in the past as a matter of policy. Make entries as follows:

a. In SUMMARY OF EXPENDITURE – Exhibit B, list as a single item.

b. In SF 1035 itemize premium pay for each position or job category referencing the Contracting Officer’s letter of authorization. NOTE ON SPECIAL AUTHORIZATIONS: According to the contract, certain costs require specific authorization in writing by the Contracting Officer. Whenever the Voucher includes costs pursuant to C.O. authorization, include a reference, for example: “C.O. letter dated (mm/dd/yy)” or “approval number 01/74/115” if the C.O. cites said number in his letter.

5. Travel as authorized by the contract shall include the following in the SF 1035.

a. Travel by the contractor shall provide:

-Name of traveler or title

-Dates of departure and return to departure point

-Transportation costs

-If claim for subsistence is on a per diem basis show number of days, rate and amount, as authorized in contract. If claim is based on actual cost of subsistence, show on a daily basis the amounts claimed for lodging and meals separately.

-Reference to Contracting Officer’s letter of authorization if approval is necessary.

b. Travel by consultants shall provide same detail as required for contractor travel.

c. Domestic travel is travel within the United States, its territories, possessions and Canada; it should be billed separately from foreign travel.

6. Consultant Fees must reflect each consultant’s name, daily fee, number of days claimed, and date of use. Travel for consultants (if applicable) must be itemized separately.

7. Subcontract requires the name of each subcontractor involved and dollar amount claimed. Costs claimed by cost reimbursement subcontractors must be on an “as incurred” basis, and backup information similar to the SF 1035 must be obtained and attached for each subcontractor. Claims for fixed price subcontractors shall be on the basis of product or performance delivered and accepted by the prime contractor.

8. Capitalized Nonexpendable Equipment Attach Form HHS 565, Exhibit A, Report of Capitalized Nonexpendable Property. For educational institutions list each item costing $1,000 or more; for contractors other than educational institutions list each item costing $200 or more and having a life expectancy of more than one year. List only those items of equipment for which reimbursement is requested. A reference shall be made to the following (as applicable): (1) the item number for the specific piece of equipment listed in the Property Schedule; (2) the Contracting Officer’s approval letter, if the equipment is not covered by the Property Schedule; or (3) be preceded by an asterisk (*) if the cost of the equipment is below the approval level. Further itemization of vouchers shall only be required for items having specific limitations set forth in the contract.

9. Overhead will be charged in accordance with the contract provisions. Provisional rates will apply pending establishment of final negotiated rates for the contractor’s fiscal year. Cite the formula (rate and base) in effect when the cost was incurred and for which reimbursement is claimed. If the Contractor does not have final rates and the contract qualifies for quick closeout, a proposal may be submitted to negotiate closeout of the individual contract. This will include an indirect rate proposal applicable to the individual contract and will address all unresolved financial, data, property and other matters for the individual contract. Please note that the Allowable Cost and Payment clause (FAR 52.216-7(d)(2)(i) states, “The Contractor shall submit an adequate final indirect cost rate proposal to the Contracting Officer … within the 6-month period following the expiration of each of its fiscal years.” This requirement applies to all cost-reimbursement contracts, and upon determination or negotiation of indirect rates for each year the contractor shall submit an invoice adjusting billings for that year appropriately.

10. Other Direct costs are minor costs that cannot be placed within any of the categories listed above. Identify by categories to the extent both possible and reasonable.

11. Fixed Fee, when applicable, should be billed by prorating the negotiated fixed fee to

Costs incurred. Applying a fee percentage to the fee base will achieve this effect. Refer to the contract provisions for guidance.

CONTRACTOR’S COMPLETION VOUCHER

A. Completion Voucher

(1) After all performance provisions of the contract have been completed and all costs applicable to the contract have been incurred, the contractor shall submit an original and three (3) copies of its completion voucher to the Contracting Officer, and one (1) copy to the CMS Finance Office to finalize the financial settlement of the contract. It shall be submitted within six (6) months of completion of performance. This voucher should include remaining costs, fees and reserves claimed to be due the contractor. It will not include items or amounts which may be set out in any qualifications in the contractor’s release of claims. A separate completion voucher shall be submitted for each individual project or task order for which a separate series of public vouchers has been submitted.

(2) Final payment on prescribed contracts may be made on the basis of a desk audit. To expedite final settlement of these contracts, the Contracting Officer may request the contractor to submit detailed support for costs claimed under one or more interim vouchers. The supporting documentation should be forwarded along with the completion voucher.

EXPIRING FUNDS

Most funds used by CMS program offices expire five (5) years after their appropriation. On September 30, 1999, funds appropriated during fiscal year 1994 expired, and on September 30, 2000 fiscal year 1995 funds expired. Once funds expire invoices for items or services ordered by the expired funds can only be paid by current-year funds. For several years this caused no significant problems because there were surplus funds available at the end of the fiscal year. In recent years, however, surpluses have shrunk and vanished. It is now important to insure that excess or unneeded funds are deobligated from contracts at the earliest opportunity.

It is extremely important that contractors, specialists and program personnel monitor availability of funds. If a contract or order is extended beyond four (4) years, all parties must work to insure final payment is made before funds expire. If funds expire, payment cannot be guaranteed. CMS sends contractors letters warning which contracts and orders have expiring funds. It is then the contractors’ responsibility to insure their final invoices are received before September 1 so payment may be made. Upon receipt of a letter warning of expiring funds, a contractor should make sure all costs, fees and subcontract payments have been billed.

FINAL VOUCHER AND CLOSING DOCUMENTS

B. After completion of the final audit and all suspensions and/or audit exceptions have been resolved and there is mutual agreement between the Contractor and the Contracting Officer on the final allowable cost and fee, if any, of the contract, the contractor shall submit an original and three (3) copies of its final voucher and the appropriate closing documents to the Contracting Officer. One (1) copy of the voucher alone shall be sent to the CMS Finance Office. This voucher shall be specifically identified as the final voucher. The following documents shall be submitted with the “final voucher” and must be supported.

(1) Contractor’s Release for All Contracts.

(2) Assignee’s Release, if applicable.

(3) Contractor’s Assignment of Refunds, Rebates and Credits, and Other Amounts.

(4) Assignee’s Assignment of Refunds, Rebates, Credits, and Other Amounts, if applicable.

(5) Contractor’s Reports on Royalties, Patent Rights and Notice and Assistance Regarding Patent and Copyright Infringements.

(6) Contractor’s Affadavit or Waiver of Lien, when required by the contract.

If the final settlement of the contract is in the amount shown on the completion voucher, the contractor need not submit a final voucher, but only the additional closing documents cited above. Alternatively, the contractor may elect to submit a final voucher for $0.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING FORM HHS-646

FINANCIAL REPORT FOR INDIVIDUAL PROJECT/CONTRACT

GENERAL INFORMATION

Purpose. Form HHS-646 is designed to: (1) provide a management tool for use by HHS in monitoring the application of financial and manpower resources to HHS contracts; (2) provide contractors with financial and manpower data which is usable in their management process; (3) indicate promptly, potential areas of contract underruns or overruns by making possible comparisons of actual performance and projections with prior estimates on individual elements of cost and manpower; and (4) obtain contractors’ analyses of cause and effect of significant variations between actual financial and manpower performance and the prior estimates thereof.

REPORTING REQUIREMENTS

(a) Scope. Necessary reporting requirements will be established by agreement between the Contracting Officer and contractor prior to contract award. The Government will limit the details of the reporting requirements to those which are necessary to accomplish the goal of contract management without being unduly burdensome on the contractor.

(b) Number of copies and mailing address. An original and three (3) copies of the report(s) shall be sent to the Contracting Officer at the address shown on the face page of the contract, no later than the 15th day after the end of the period reported.

REPORTING STATISTICS

A modification which extends the period of performance of an existing contract will not require reporting on a separate Form HHS-646, except where it is determined by the Contracting Officer that separate reporting is necessary. Furthermore, when incrementally funded contracts are involved, each separate allotment is not considered a separate contract entity (only a funding action). Therefore, the statistics under incrementally funded contracts should be reported cumulatively from the inception of the contract through completion.

Definitions and Instructions for Completing Form HHS-646. For the purpose of establishing expenditure categories in column A, the following definitions and instructions will be utilized. Each contract will specify the categories to be reported.

(1) Personnel – Professional. Included are the senior level and all other personnel whose total annual salary rates are $20,000 or more. It should include key personnel regardless of annual salary rates. All such individuals should be listed by name and job title on a separate line including those whose salary is not directly charged to the contract but whose effort is directly associated with the contract. The listing must be kept up to date.

(2) Personnel – Other. This will be listed as one amount unless otherwise required by the contract.

(3) Fringe Benefits. Include allowances and services provided by the contractor to employees as compensation in addition to regular salaries and wages. If a fringe benefit rate has been established, the rate will be applied to the agreed upon base. If a rate has not been established, the various fringe benefit costs may be required to be shown separately. Fringe benefits which are included in the indirect cost rate should not be shown here.

(4) Capitalized nonexpendable equipment. This represents personal property of a capital nature, i.e., property acquired at a cost of $200 or more and that has a service life of more than one year.

Form HHS-565, Report of Noncapitalized Equipment, as outlined in the Department Manual, “Control of Property in Possession of Contractors,” will accompany the contractor’s public voucher (SF 1034/SF 1035) as required, or the report of the same name if not previously submitted.

(5) Supplies. Includes the cost of supplies and material and equipment charged directly to the contract, but excludes the cost of capitalized nonexpendable equipment as defined in (4) above.

(6) Inpatient Care. Costs associated with a patient while occupying a bed in a patient care setting. It normally includes both routine and ancillary costs.

(7) Outpatient Care. Costs associated with a patient while not occupying a bed. It normally includes ancillary costs only.

(8) Travel. Includes all direct costs of travel, including transportation, subsistence and miscellaneous expenses. Travel for staff and consultants shall be shown separately. Identify foreign and domestic travel separately. If required by the contract, the following information shall be submitted: (i) Name of traveler and purpose of trip; (ii) Place of departure, destination and return, including time and dates; and (iii) Total cost of the trip.
