Forbes Hospital

The CMS Hospital Compare program rates Forbes Hospital at 3 stars, the median bucket on a 1-to-5 scale that aggregates dozens of safety, outcome, and experience measures.

On payment metrics, Forbes Hospital runs expensive: average Medicare payment across documented procedures is $22,037, in the upper bracket of U.S. hospitals.

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 Forbes Hospital lists 10 distinct DRG codes — a mid-range procedure mix, including Heart Failure and Shock with MCC, Respiratory System Diagnosis with Ventilator Support >96 Hours, Pulmonary Edema and Respiratory Failure. 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.
