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 Union 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.

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 patients17.5%
Not reported to MedicareDeaths within 30 days: heart attack patients; Deaths within 30 days: coronary bypass surgery (CABG); Complications after hip or knee replacement
Too few cases to reportDeaths within 30 days: heart failure patients; Deaths within 30 days: COPD patients; Deaths within 30 days: stroke patients; Serious complications (patient safety indicator PSI-90)

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)15.8%
Readmitted within 30 days: heart failure20.5%
Readmitted within 30 days: pneumonia17.1%
Readmitted within 30 days: COPD19.3%

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)Medium (20,000–39,999)
Average (median) time patients spent in the emergency room before leaving (OP-18b)154 minutesNational average: 162 minutes
Patients who left the emergency room before being seen (OP-22)2%National average: 2%
Too few cases to reportSepsis 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: infections caught in the hospital. 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 Union Medical Center, fiscal year 2026 (October 2025 to September 2026).

Show the Medicare payment program results

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.

Medicare payment reduction, fiscal year 2026YesCMS applies a 1-percent payment reduction to this hospital.
Total HAC Score1.4729Lower is better. Hospitals above the 75th percentile of all scores get the reduction.

Source: Hospital-Acquired Condition (HAC) Reduction Program — CMS, released January 26, 2026; patient-safety data from July 2022 to June 2024 and infection data from January 2023 to December 2024.

Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program

What this means: For six conditions, Medicare compares how often this hospital’s patients had to go back into a hospital within 30 days with how often that happens at an average hospital with similar patients. The ratio is that comparison: 1 means as many readmissions as expected, above 1 means more than expected (CMS calls these “excess readmissions”), below 1 means fewer.

CMS says: In October 2012, CMS began reducing Medicare payments for subsection(d) hospitals with excess readmissions under the Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program (HRRP).

Pneumonia0.9860Fewer readmissions than expected
No result publishedHeart attack; Heart failure; COPD (chronic lung disease); Hip or knee replacement; Coronary bypass surgery (CABG) (not reported, or too few cases)

Source: Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program — CMS, released January 26, 2026; patients discharged July 2021 to June 2024.

Medicare spending per patient (MSPB)

What this means: This compares what Medicare spent on a hospital stay, counting the 3 days before it and the 30 days after, with the national median hospital, after adjusting for the patient’s age and health and for local prices. A ratio of 1.00 is the national median hospital; below 1.00 means Medicare spent less, above 1.00 means more. It measures the cost to Medicare, not the quality of care.

CMS says: The Medicare Spending Per Beneficiary (MSPB) Measure shows whether Medicare spends more, less, or about the same for an episode of care (episode) at a specific hospital compared to all hospitals nationally.

Medicare spending per patient, ratio0.84Below the national median hospital (1.00): Medicare spent less

Source: Medicare Spending Per Beneficiary - Hospital — CMS, released October 19, 2026; data from January 2024 to December 2024.

No result for this hospital: Hospital Value-Based Purchasing Program. This is normal when a hospital is paid under another Medicare system (for example critical access, children’s or psychiatric hospitals), is not in the program that year, or has too few cases.
