About Saint Thomas Highlands Hospital
Saint Thomas Highlands 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.

Average Medicare payment per documented procedure at Saint Thomas Highlands Hospital is $12,104, near the national median for acute-care hospitals. Saint Thomas Highlands Hospital's value rating (63/100) reflects solid quality-for-cost performance: not the absolute best on either dimension alone, but a strong combination.
