Each figure is the middle New York building on that line, from its own most recent full-year filing. A line resting on fewer than 20 filings shows no figure. No building’s own numbers are on this page; open a building below for its filing.
New York also collects its own Medicaid cost reports, published by the New York State Department of Health, for the years 2023 to 2024 (each building's newest). They carry what the Medicare report cannot, such as the Medicaid revenue each building actually received per Medicaid day.
