About Rivers Health
Rivers Health holds a CMS 1-star quality rating — the lowest tier of the federal Hospital Compare program. The rating reflects measurable underperformance on the composite of mortality, safety, and patient-experience measures. 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 Rivers Health is $12,040, near the national median for acute-care hospitals. Combined cost-and-quality value comes to 50/100 — a middling result, reflecting either average quality at average cost or trade-offs in one direction.
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 Rivers Health lists 13 distinct DRG codes — a mid-range procedure mix, including Intracranial Hemorrhage or Cerebral Infarction with MCC, Spinal Fusion (Non-Cervical) with MCC, Vaginal Delivery without Complicating Diagnoses. 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.
