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 Towner County 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.

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: pneumonia patients	18.5%
Not reported to Medicare	Deaths within 30 days: coronary bypass surgery (CABG); Serious complications (patient safety indicator PSI-90); Complications after hip or knee replacement
Too few cases to report	Deaths within 30 days: heart attack patients; Deaths within 30 days: heart failure patients; Deaths within 30 days: COPD patients; Deaths within 30 days: stroke patients

Source: Complications and Deaths - Hospital — CMS, released October 20, 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)	16.3%
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: pneumonia; 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)	71 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. 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 56 common services exactly as Towner County 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.
