The comparison is the category CMS assigns the facility against the national rate. CMS publishes these rates only when there are at least 25 eligible stays.

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 an inpatient rehabilitation facility

Medicare.gov says inpatient rehabilitation can help a person recovering from a serious surgery, illness or injury who needs an intensive rehabilitation therapy program, physician supervision, and coordinated care from doctors and other health care providers (including therapists).

Medicare Part A (Hospital Insurance) covers medically necessary care in an inpatient rehabilitation facility or unit (also called an inpatient “rehab” facility, IRF, acute care rehabilitation center or rehabilitation hospital). Medicare Part B (Medical Insurance) covers doctors' services during the stay.
Covered care includes rehabilitation services (physical therapy, occupational therapy and speech-language pathology), a semi-private room, meals, nursing services, prescription drugs, and other hospital services and supplies.
Medicare doesn't cover private duty nursing, a phone or television in the room (if charged separately), personal items (except those given as part of the hospital admission pack), or a private room unless it is medically necessary.
The patient's health care provider must certify a medical condition that requires intensive rehabilitation, continued medical supervision and coordinated care.

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.
