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 Linton Hospital - CAH 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.
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) | 16.1% |
|---|---|
| Readmitted within 30 days: pneumonia | 17.2% |
| Not reported to Medicare | Readmitted within 30 days: coronary bypass surgery; Readmitted within 30 days: hip or knee replacement |
| Too few cases to report | Readmitted within 30 days: heart attack; Readmitted within 30 days: heart failure; Readmitted within 30 days: COPD |
Source: Unplanned Hospital Visits - Hospital — CMS, released October 20, 2026; data from July 2024 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) | Low (under 20,000) |
|---|---|
| Average (median) time patients spent in the emergency room before leaving (OP-18b) | 103 minutesNational average: 162 minutes |
| Patients who left the emergency room before being seen (OP-22) | 0%National average: 2% |
| Not reported to Medicare | Sepsis patients who got all the recommended early care (SEP-1) |
Source: Timely and Effective Care - Hospital — CMS, released October 19, 2026; data from January 2024 to December 2024.
Not reported to Medicare: the patient survey, infections caught in the hospital, complications and deaths. For these topics Medicare shows no result for this hospital (not reported, or too few cases).

Prices
Every US hospital must publish its standard charges in a file that follows a federal (CMS) format. Below are 42 common services exactly as Linton Hospital - CAH 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.
