| Net patient revenue | $8,191,833 | CMS-2540-96 worksheet G300000 line 300 column 100 |
| Total operating expenses | $7,695,183 | CMS-2540-96 worksheet G200002 line 1500 column 100 |
| Net income from service to patients | $496,650 | CMS-2540-96 worksheet G300000 line 500 column 100 |
| Total other income | $2,984 | CMS-2540-96 worksheet G300000 line 2600 column 100 |
Net income, stated at moderate confidence: $499,634 (CMS-2540-96 worksheet G300000 line 3200 column 100). As filed, net income for the period equals net income from service to patients plus total other income, less total other expenses (Worksheet G-3 lines 5 plus 26 less 31) on 192,460 of the 192,462 reports filed on Form CMS-2540-96 in publication years 1995-2012 that file every line it is computed from (99.99%); on 2 of them the filed figure and that arithmetic differ, by a median of $46,907, and those figures are not shown. A further 2,252 reports file net income without filing net income from service to patients (Worksheet G-3 line 5), so the arithmetic cannot be applied to them and their figure is shown as filed.

How to read this report
Every figure is printed as the CMS file it came from printed it. Each cost-report figure carries the worksheet, line and column of form CMS-2540 it was read from, so a reader holding the same public file can go to that cell; each Care Compare and Medicare enrollment section names its file and the date CMS stamped on it.
A figure the filing does not carry is left out, and so is a figure whose value the filing’s own arithmetic contradicts. Net income is printed with what the form’s own arithmetic shows about it — plainly where it follows from the lines above it, and, where it does not, beside what the form’s own lines leave unaccounted for. An ownership field left empty carries the dated sentence on CMS’s pause of the expanded Form CMS-855A disclosure. A source that holds nothing for this facility says so in its section.
This report carries no percentile and no score, and it does not place this facility above or below another. The five facilities above are the one comparison it draws: the nearest certified bed counts in the same state at the same fiscal year, listed by name. Nurse staffing is printed in its own section, on its own page, apart from the cost-report figures.
