Aspirus Ironwood Hospital

Aspirus Ironwood Hospital does not carry an overall CMS Hospital Compare star rating — typically because the hospital is too small, too specialized, or reports too few of the underlying measures to compute the composite. The CMS Hospital Compare measure bundle skews toward worse-than-benchmark performance, with the readmission and mortality measures driving most of the gap.

Average Medicare payment per documented procedure at Aspirus Ironwood Hospital is $15,921, near the national median for acute-care hospitals. Combined cost-and-quality value comes to 54/100 — a middling result, reflecting either average quality at average cost or trade-offs in one direction.

Ownership is non-profit, the dominant pattern in U.S. acute care. Non-profit hospitals generally reinvest operating margins rather than distribute them; the federal CMS measure set treats them identically to other ownership categories for reporting purposes. The CMS payment record for Aspirus Ironwood Hospital lists 8 distinct DRG codes — a mid-range procedure mix, including Cellulitis with MCC, Nutritional and Misc Metabolic Disorders with MCC, Percutaneous Cardiovascular Procedure with Drug-Eluting Stent. Emergency services are available, which is the norm for acute-care hospitals and a meaningful factor for any patient choosing a facility for unplanned care.
