Well, since I was first brought into this discussion at our facility, we've
hired an outside firm to handle this for us (I only found out about that two
weeks ago, though, nice) via our corporate entity (our communication skills
are eviable here, aren't they?).
But, as I am in the process of requesting additional staff to handle more of
this type of thing in-house (as we've been gouged before and things aren't
kept up to date, so history repeats itself), I'd still like to educate
myself on this topic and eventually take on the responsibility.
Thanks for chiming in, I really appreciate the responses...

Melanie,
BOMA primarily focusses on Commercial real-estate costs and their
measurement standards are used for calculating charge back costs to tenants,
they do have a provision for medical office buildings but this provision is
related to commercial medical office buildings. I would believe that both
of these methods would be inappropriate for your use.
Because this is so unclear in terms of medicare costs you may be at risk due
to improper reporting if this is done inappropriately. I would suggest that
you make your way through the medicare bureaucracy to get the correct
answer, or at least one that you can document. The other approach could be
to engage the dreaded consultant....I realize that they will charge you but
this matter seems important to your organization and risk can be mitigated
with professional advice.
