About Billings Clinic Broadwater
Billings Clinic Broadwater 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 Billings Clinic Broadwater is $17,620, 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 Billings Clinic Broadwater lists 16 distinct DRG codes — a mid-range procedure mix, including Septicemia or Severe Sepsis without Ventilator, Major Hip and Knee Joint Replacement, Respiratory System Diagnosis with Ventilator Support >96 Hours. 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.
