About Sterling Surgical Hospital
Sterling Surgical 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 Sterling Surgical Hospital is $16,145, near the national median for acute-care hospitals. The combined value score — quality versus cost — works out to 55/100, an above-average showing.
Ownership is for-profit, which puts Sterling Surgical Hospital in the investor-owned segment of U.S. hospitals. The category is overrepresented in some markets and absent in others, and the CMS measure set treats it identically to non-profits for reporting. 18 distinct procedures are documented in CMS payment files for Sterling Surgical Hospital. Top examples: Respiratory System Diagnosis with Ventilator Support >96 Hours, Signs and Symptoms without MCC, Vaginal Delivery without Complicating Diagnoses. Emergency services are not offered, which is unusual for an acute-care facility — most often reflects a specialty hospital or non-traditional inpatient model.
