About Primary Children's Hospital
Primary 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.
Cost-wise, Primary Children's Hospital is mid-pack: $13,712 average payment across documented procedures, close to the median for U.S. acute-care facilities. Primary Children's Hospital's value rating (60/100) 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 Primary Children's Hospital lists 13 distinct DRG codes — a mid-range procedure mix, including Respiratory System Diagnosis with Ventilator Support >96 Hours, Heart Failure and Shock with CC, Heart Failure and Shock with MCC. Emergency services are available, which is the norm for acute-care hospitals and a meaningful factor for any patient choosing a facility for unplanned care.
