About Phoenix Children's Hospital
Phoenix Children's 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 Phoenix Children's Hospital is $16,636, near the national median for acute-care hospitals. Phoenix Children's Hospital's value rating (55/100) 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. The CMS payment record for Phoenix Children's Hospital lists 11 distinct DRG codes — a mid-range procedure mix, including Respiratory System Diagnosis with Ventilator Support >96 Hours, Renal Failure with CC, Major Hip and Knee Joint Replacement. Emergency services are not offered, which is unusual for an acute-care facility — most often reflects a specialty hospital or non-traditional inpatient model.
