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 Porterville Developmental 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.
Not reported to Medicare: the patient survey, infections caught in the hospital, complications and deaths, readmissions, emergency room times and sepsis care. For these topics Medicare shows no result for this hospital (not reported, or too few cases).
Medicare payment programs
Medicare (CMS) uses these federal programs to adjust what it pays hospitals, based on quality, safety and cost results. This is a payment to the hospital for Medicare patients, not a price you pay, and not a prediction for any one person. Results for Porterville Developmental Center, fiscal year 2026 (October 2025 to September 2026).

Hospital-Acquired Condition Reduction Program
What this means: Medicare gives each hospital a Total HAC Score built from patient-safety complications and from infections caught in the hospital. The quarter of hospitals with the highest (worst) scores gets a reduction in its Medicare payments. A lower score is better.
CMS says: Hospitals with a Total HAC Score above the 75th percentile of the Total HAC Score distribution will be subject to a 1-percent payment reduction.
