The PS&R Redesign will be utilized for filing and settling all cost reports with fiscal years ending on January 31, 2009 and later. Cost reports with fiscal years ending prior to January 31, 2009 will continue to be filed and settled with the Legacy PS&R system. Due to this transition, the Legacy PS&R will not produce reports containing dates of service after January 30, 2009. Reports for fiscal years containing claims with a service through date of January 31, 2009 and later must be produced by the PS&R Redesign.
