Dialysis Patient Care Cost per Treatment measures patient-care operating costs allocated to each U.S. dialysis treatment.
DaVita reported $273.34 per treatment in 2025.
Direct patient-care cost was about 66.7% of patient-service revenue per treatment
Average patient-service revenue per treatment was $409.56.
Dividing $273.34 by $409.56 gives approximately 66.7%, leaving a $136.22 direct-care spread before other operating expenses.
Annual treatment volume implies about $7.85 billion of patient-care cost
Multiplying $273.34 by 28,733,980 treatments gives approximately $7.85 billion.
That is a scale reconstruction from unit cost and volume, not a substitute for the filing's full expense presentation.
Use Dialysis Average Patient Service Revenue per Treatment for the matching revenue metric.
Patient-care cost is not total segment cost
Corporate support, occupancy, depreciation, general and administrative expenses, and other items sit outside this per-treatment direct-care measure.
