Most hospitals do make a lot of money off rehab, though academic centers often lose money (dispo issues, more medicaid patients, etc.). But having a patient with dispo problems on rehab is still cheaper for the hospital than keeping them on the acute unit, so that's not the whole story.
I've always heard 10K thrown around--for each bed filled for the year you can expect 10k towards your salary. I have no idea how much each bed actually generates. So if you have a 15 bed unit and keep the unit filled for the year, your salary would be roughly 150k. 20 bed unit you could expect closer to 200k. But I knew a rehab doc in a slightly more rural area with a 15 bed unit (not always filled) and two half days of clinic and he made over $250k, so obviously there's a lot of variability in salary. Shop around a bit and see what other hospitals offer.
