CMS cost-report rate

From its public CMS cost report, University Care Center takes in an average of about $569 per resident-day across all payers — Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay combined. That is a facility-wide accounting average, not a private-pay quote, and it is not a monthly price: Medicare short-stay rehab is billed at a far higher daily rate than long-term custodial care, so the day-rate reflects payer mix as much as price.
