About Caribbean Medical Center
Caribbean Medical 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.
Payment metrics are favorable: Caribbean Medical Center averages $10,408 per documented procedure, in the lower-cost bracket for U.S. acute-care hospitals. Caribbean Medical Center's value rating (66/100) reflects solid quality-for-cost performance: not the absolute best on either dimension alone, but a strong combination.
