HHS will calculate the percentage of change in operating revenues from patient care minus operating expenses from patient care for providers that began operations partway through 2019 or in 2020, and, therefore, do not have data from all of the requested quarters, based on the applicant’s financial information that is available and data from the same type of provider as the applicant. Providers that began operation in 2020 will be paid approximately 2% of patient care revenue based on the applicant’s reported financial information for those months in 2020 that they were operation.
