About the Medicare star rating

CMS (the federal Medicare agency) gives many hospitals an overall rating from 1 to 5 stars, based on measures of mortality, safety, readmissions, patient experience and timely care. It is one piece of information: ask your doctor what matters for your care. See the full Medicare profile →

Medicare quality data

What Frye Regional Medical Center reported to Medicare (CMS), the federal agency that publishes these results for hospitals nationwide. These are averages for many patients, not a prediction for any one person: ask your doctor what matters for your care. In a medical emergency, call 911.

What patients said (patient survey)

What this means: Patients who stayed overnight answered a national survey (HCAHPS) about their stay. More stars mean patients reported a better experience than at other hospitals. The percentages show how often patients gave the best answer, next to the national average.

Summary star rating (all survey topics)	3 of 5 stars
Overall rating of the hospital	2 of 5 stars
Would recommend the hospital	3 of 5 stars
Nurses communicated well	3 of 5 stars
Doctors communicated well	2 of 5 stars
Staff explained medicines	2 of 5 stars
Information about recovery at home	3 of 5 stars
Room and bathroom kept clean	3 of 5 stars
Quiet at night	3 of 5 stars
Rated the hospital 9 or 10 out of 10	62%National average: 72%
Would definitely recommend the hospital	61%National average: 71%
Nurses “always” communicated well	76%National average: 80%
Doctors “always” communicated well	74%National average: 80%
Staff “always” explained medicines before giving them	57%National average: 62%
Were given information about recovery at home	85%National average: 86%
Room and bathroom “always” clean	70%National average: 74%
Area around the room “always” quiet at night	53%National average: 60%
Completed surveys	1,705Response rate: 25%

Infections caught in the hospital

What this means: CMS compares the number of infections patients caught in this hospital with the number expected for a hospital like it. The number shown is that ratio: below 1 means fewer infections than expected, above 1 means more. “Better” or “worse” is shown only when the difference is clear in the data.

Central line bloodstream infections (CLABSI)	2.865Worse than the national benchmark
Catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI)	0Better than the national benchmark
Surgical site infections after colon surgery	1.198No different from the national benchmark
Surgical site infections after abdominal hysterectomy	Not reported to Medicare
MRSA bloodstream infections	1.076No different from the national benchmark
Clostridioides difficile (C. diff) intestinal infections	0.159Better than the national benchmark

Source: Healthcare Associated Infections - Hospital — CMS, released July 22, 2026; data from October 2024 to September 2025.

Complications and deaths

What this means: Death rates are the share of patients who died within 30 days of going into the hospital for that condition, adjusted for how sick they were. PSI-90 combines several serious complications (a lower number is better). “No different from the national rate” is the most common result and means the hospital is in line with hospitals nationwide.

Deaths within 30 days: heart attack patients	11.8%
Deaths within 30 days: heart failure patients	14.6%
Deaths within 30 days: pneumonia patients	14.4%
Deaths within 30 days: COPD patients	9.6%
Deaths within 30 days: stroke patients	13.3%
Deaths within 30 days: coronary bypass surgery (CABG)	2.1%
Serious complications (patient safety indicator PSI-90)	1.03No different from the national rate
Complications after hip or knee replacement	Too few cases to report

Source: Complications and Deaths - Hospital — CMS, released September 10, 2026; data from July 2022 to June 2025.

Return visits to the hospital (readmissions)

What this means: The share of patients who had to be admitted to a hospital again within 30 days after going home, adjusted for how sick they were. A lower percentage is better.

Returned to any hospital within 30 days (all patients)	Not reported to Medicare
Readmitted within 30 days: heart attack	14.8%
Readmitted within 30 days: heart failure	22.7%
Readmitted within 30 days: pneumonia	16.9%
Readmitted within 30 days: COPD	21%
Readmitted within 30 days: coronary bypass surgery	11.1%
Readmitted within 30 days: hip or knee replacement	Too few cases to report

Source: Unplanned Hospital Visits - Hospital — CMS, released September 10, 2026; data from July 2023 to June 2025.

Emergency room times and sepsis care

What this means: ER time is the middle (median) time from arriving at the emergency room to leaving it; busier ERs usually have longer times, so the ER volume is shown too. Leaving before being seen: a lower percentage is better. Sepsis is a life-threatening reaction to an infection; a higher percentage means more patients got every recommended early step.

Emergency room volume (patients per year)	Medium (20,000–39,999)
Average (median) time patients spent in the emergency room before leaving (OP-18b)	174 minutesNational average: 162 minutes
Patients who left the emergency room before being seen (OP-22)	2%National average: 2%
Sepsis patients who got all the recommended early care (SEP-1)	74%National average: 65%

Prices

Every US hospital must publish its standard charges in a file that follows a federal (CMS) format. Below are 58 common services exactly as Frye Regional Medical Center lists them in its file. This is not a quote: what you pay depends on your insurance and plan, the doctors involved and the care you actually receive. Prices change: ask the hospital for an estimate before you schedule care (if you are uninsured or paying yourself, you have the right to a written “good faith estimate”). In a medical emergency, call 911.

What the prices mean

Hospital charge: The hospital’s list price (“gross charge”) before any discount or insurance. Few people pay this amount.
Cash price: The price the hospital offers if you pay yourself, without insurance (“discounted cash price”).
Insurance rates: The lowest and highest amounts the hospital has agreed with any insurance plan for the service (“de-identified minimum and maximum”), and some of the rates it lists by insurer and plan. Your share depends on your deductible, copay and coinsurance.
Hospital and doctor fees: A service can have a hospital (facility) fee and a separate doctor (professional) fee; the total for your care can include both, plus other services.
