Thedacare Medical Center-Waupaca

Thedacare Medical Center-Waupaca 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 Thedacare Medical Center-Waupaca is $16,058, near the national median for acute-care hospitals. The combined value score — quality versus cost — works out to 56/100, an above-average showing.

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 Thedacare Medical Center-Waupaca lists 16 distinct DRG codes — a mid-range procedure mix, including Hip and Femur Procedures Except Major Joint with MCC, Renal Failure with CC, Signs and Symptoms without 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.
