About National Jewish Health
National Jewish Health 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 National Jewish Health is $14,352, near the national median for acute-care hospitals. National Jewish Health's value rating (59/100) reflects solid quality-for-cost performance: not the absolute best on either dimension alone, but a strong combination.
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 National Jewish Health. Top examples: Pulmonary Edema and Respiratory Failure, Cesarean Section without CC/MCC, Percutaneous Cardiovascular Procedure with Drug-Eluting Stent.
