Broward Health Medical Center is a government - hospital district or authority-owned acute care hospitals in Fort Lauderdale, FL, reporting to CMS under the Hospital Compare and Care Compare programs. Its overall CMS Star Rating is 3 out of 5, a composite measure that weighs mortality, safety of care, readmission, patient experience, and timely and effective care against national benchmarks. Because it reports emergency services, its patient mix and its exposure to out-of-network balance-billing under the No Surprises Act both differ from a scheduled-procedures-only facility.
CMS rates each quality indicator as better, same, or worse than the national average -- mortality comes in at 1 above avg, 6 same as avg, patient safety at 4 above avg, 3 same as avg, and 30-day readmission at 9 same as avg, 1 below avg.
What "better/same/worse than average" means
These indicators are risk-adjusted to account for patient severity and are drawn from Medicare claims data. A "same as average" result is the most common category for US hospitals and does not imply poor care; "worse than average" findings are statistically significant and warrant follow-up with the facility's quality department.
Published MRF pricing data is not currently indexed for this hospital.
Using this data to shop for care
Under the Hospital Price Transparency Rule, providers must post standard charges in a machine-readable file; contact the hospital's billing office directly for a Good Faith Estimate specific to your procedure and coverage. Patients should always verify insurance network status, request an itemized estimate before scheduled procedures, and compare negotiated rates across multiple facilities when time allows.
