About Jefferson Community Health & Life
Jefferson Community Health & Life 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: Jefferson Community Health & Life averages $10,336 per documented procedure, in the lower-cost bracket for U.S. acute-care hospitals. Jefferson Community Health & Life's value rating (66/100) reflects solid quality-for-cost performance: not the absolute best on either dimension alone, but a strong combination.
Jefferson Community Health & Life is non-profit — a voluntary-association or church-affiliated facility, which is the majority ownership pattern for U.S. acute-care hospitals. The CMS payment record for Jefferson Community Health & Life lists 16 distinct DRG codes — a mid-range procedure mix, including Kidney and Urinary Tract Infections without MCC, Pulmonary Edema and Respiratory Failure, Simple Pneumonia and Pleurisy with CC.
