About South Shore Hospital

Cost-wise, South Shore Hospital is mid-pack: $16,908 average payment across documented procedures, close to the median for U.S. acute-care facilities. The composite value score of 42/100 puts South Shore Hospital in the middle of the value distribution: not a standout choice on cost-vs-quality grounds, but not poor either.
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 South Shore Hospital lists 12 distinct DRG codes — a mid-range procedure mix, including Cellulitis with MCC, Esophagitis, Gastroenteritis with MCC, Intracranial Hemorrhage or Cerebral Infarction 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.
