Dialysis Hospital Service Contract Count measures the number of hospitals where DaVita was contracted to provide inpatient dialysis services.

DaVita reported approximately 740 hospitals in its 2025 disclosures.

Hospital contracts were about 27.9% of the outpatient-center count

DaVita operated 2,657 U.S. outpatient dialysis centers.

Dividing 740 hospital contracts by 2,657 outpatient centers gives approximately 27.9% as a footprint scale comparison.

The inpatient footprint generated 6% of U.S. dialysis revenue

Hospital inpatient dialysis represented 6% of U.S. dialysis revenue.

Use Dialysis Hospital Inpatient Revenue Mix to separate contract footprint from economic contribution.

Contract count is not owned-facility count

DaVita provides services under hospital contracts without necessarily owning the hospital setting.

The approximately 740 hospitals also do not imply equal treatment volume or revenue per contract.

Where this concept fits

Treatment volume, patient base, and network footprintCurrent relationship
Treatment volume, average daily treatments, treatment days, patient count, outpatient centers, hospital service contracts, market share, and normalized non-acquired growth show the operating scale and underlying demand base. Center count and patient count are point-in-time measures, while treatments are period activity.

Reimbursement, payor mix, and care setting
Average patient service revenue per treatment shows blended reimbursement, government and commercial revenue mix show payor economics, and outpatient, home-based, and hospital inpatient revenue mix show where care is delivered. Revenue shares are not interchangeable with patient or treatment shares.

Cost, collections, and segment profitability
Patient care cost per treatment frames direct operating cost, days sales outstanding shows collections efficiency, and segment operating income shows the resulting GAAP segment contribution after the issuer's reported expense structure.
