Finances, as filed

From this facility’s Medicare cost reports on form CMS-2540, each figure with the worksheet, line and column it was read from.

Cost report for 1 January 1999 to 31 December 1999 — a reporting period of 364 days, on form CMS-2540-96, settled, processed by CMS on 27 April 2001.

Revenue and expenses, fiscal year 1999
FigureAs filedWhere it comes from
Net patient revenue$10,485,340CMS-2540-96 worksheet G300000 line 300 column 100
Total operating expenses$10,211,208CMS-2540-96 worksheet G200002 line 1500 column 100

Total other income$86,809CMS-2540-96 worksheet G300000 line 2600 column 100

Net income, stated at moderate confidence: $360,941 (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.

Get an email when this record changes

One email a day naming what moved on MERCY HOSPITAL SKILLED NURSING FACILITY: the field, the value before, the value after, and the date of the file that first showed it.

The facility alert follows this one record: a cost report filed or a figure on one changed, an inspection, a deficiency or a penalty recorded, an owner added or removed. The certification number arrives filled in.

On 1 July 2026: DAVID P MACHOLZ no longer appears as CORPORATE OFFICER in the Medicare enrollment ownership file. That is one line of the alert.

What the alerts are, and what a day of them looks like, is on the alerts page.
