Dexur analyzed Medicare claims data for the study period of Oct 2015 to Sep 2018, to find out the top hospitals that provide the most stays for Meridian Nursing and Rehab Subacute Rehabilitation, Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) of Wall, New Jersey. The top three hospitals - Jersey Shore University Medical Center , Ocean Medical Center and Riverview Medical Center provide more than 70% of all stays to Meridian Nursing home (see below table)
