CHC Cost Reports Due April 1st and iNet is Now Fully Functional

As a reminder, the Center for Health Information and Analysis (CHIA) has recently taken charge of the iNet data reporting system.  This system is used to file Community Health Center (CHC) Medicaid cost reports, and review payment and expenditure data on transactions with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
The June 30, 2014 CHC cost reports were originally due on December 1, 2014, however, many users experienced technical difficulties in submitting these reports.  These issues were due to the transition of the iNet system from the Division of Healthcare Finance and Policy to CHIA.  CHIA has recently issued a notice that iNet is now fully functional and that the extended due date for the CHC cost reports for the period ended June 30, 2014 is April 1, 2015.  This deadline is quickly approaching.
Please note the following:

For Community Health Centers who started their report before January 1, 2015, it is likely that some or all of the information may have been deleted.  Therefore, users should re-enter reporting information and submit.  There is a 25 minute time-out when on online, therefore we remind you to save data frequently during any session.
