About Berwick Hospital Center
Berwick Hospital Center 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.
On payment metrics, Berwick Hospital Center runs expensive: average Medicare payment across documented procedures is $22,751, in the upper bracket of U.S. hospitals. The composite value score of 45/100 puts Berwick Hospital Center in the middle of the value distribution: not a standout choice on cost-vs-quality grounds, but not poor either.
Ownership is for-profit, which puts Berwick Hospital Center 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. The CMS payment record for Berwick Hospital Center lists 18 distinct DRG codes — a mid-range procedure mix, including Cellulitis with MCC, Kidney and Urinary Tract Infections without MCC, Heart Failure and Shock with MCC. Emergency services are not offered, which is unusual for an acute-care facility — most often reflects a specialty hospital or non-traditional inpatient model.
