Northampton Va Medical Center

Northampton Va 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.

On payment metrics, Northampton Va Medical Center runs expensive: average Medicare payment across documented procedures is $24,410, in the upper bracket of U.S. hospitals. The composite value score of 42/100 puts Northampton Va Medical Center in the middle of the value distribution: not a standout choice on cost-vs-quality grounds, but not poor either.

Northampton Va Medical Center's ownership category — Veterans Health Administration — falls outside the three dominant categories (non-profit, for-profit, government). The CMS Hospital Compare program treats all ownership types under the same measure rubric. The CMS payment record for Northampton Va Medical Center lists 9 distinct DRG codes — a mid-range procedure mix, including Hip and Femur Procedures Except Major Joint with MCC, Esophagitis, Gastroenteritis with MCC, Intracranial Hemorrhage or Cerebral Infarction with MCC. Emergency services are not offered, which is unusual for an acute-care facility — most often reflects a specialty hospital or non-traditional inpatient model.
