About Beacon Children's Hospital
Beacon Children's 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 measures break roughly evenly between better- and worse-than-benchmark performance, which is the modal pattern across U.S. hospitals.
Average Medicare payment per documented procedure at Beacon Children's Hospital is $16,367, near the national median for acute-care hospitals. The combined value score — quality versus cost — works out to 56/100, an above-average showing.
Ownership is for-profit, which puts Beacon Children's Hospital in the investor-owned segment of U.S. hospitals. The category is overrepresented in some markets and absent in others, and the CMS measure set treats it identically to non-profits for reporting. 15 distinct procedures are documented in CMS payment files for Beacon Children's Hospital. Top examples: Intracranial Hemorrhage or Cerebral Infarction with MCC, Hip and Femur Procedures Except Major Joint with MCC, Vaginal Delivery without Complicating Diagnoses.
