For infections, CMS publishes a standardized infection ratio (SIR): the number of infections reported (A) divided by the predicted number of infections (B). The comparison is the category CMS assigns the facility against the national benchmark. The U.S. figure is the one in CMS's national data file; the data dictionary does not say it is the benchmark used for the category.

What Medicare covers in a long-term care hospital

Medicare.gov says Medicare Part A (Hospital Insurance) covers care in a long-term care hospital. These hospitals typically care for patients with more than one serious medical condition, who may improve with time and care and eventually return home.

They may offer services like respiratory therapy, head trauma treatment and pain management.
After discharge, many people get care in a skilled nursing facility or custodial care in a long-term care facility.

What the patient pays each benefit period in 2026, according to Medicare.gov:

Days 1–60: $0 a day, after the $1,736 deductible.
Days 61–90: $434 a day.
Days 91–150: $868 a day while using lifetime reserve days (60 days in total, usable once in a lifetime).
After day 150: all costs.

Medicare.gov says the deductible isn't charged again if it was already charged for a prior hospital stay in the same benefit period, for example when the patient is transferred directly from an acute care hospital or admitted within 60 days of leaving a hospital.
