General Administrative costs (see Section 140.533) shall be updated by using nationally published indices specific to nursing home costs.  (Health Care Cost Review, a publication of the Cost Information Forecasting Service, published quarterly by DRI-WEFA, Inc., a Global Insight Company, 24 Hartwell Avenue, Lexington, Massachusetts 02421 (2001).  This incorporation by reference does not include any later amendments or editions.)  Prior to any updating, fringe benefits and payroll taxes will be prorated to General Service and Program areas on the basis of salaries paid in those areas.  (The prorated amount will be updated at the same rate as the other portions of those cost centers.)
