About Loring Hospital
Loring Hospital 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 Loring Hospital is $15,028, near the national median for acute-care hospitals. The combined value score — quality versus cost — works out to 58/100, an above-average showing.
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. 15 distinct procedures are documented in CMS payment files for Loring Hospital. Top examples: Spinal Fusion (Non-Cervical) with MCC, Cervical Spinal Fusion without CC/MCC, Respiratory System Diagnosis with Ventilator Support >96 Hours. Emergency services are not offered, which is unusual for an acute-care facility — most often reflects a specialty hospital or non-traditional inpatient model.
