Los Alamos Medical Center is a proprietary-owned acute care hospitals in Los Alamos, NM, reporting to CMS under the Hospital Compare and Care Compare programs. No overall CMS Star Rating exists yet for this facility -- common for newly-reporting hospitals, specialty facilities (children’s, cancer, or psychiatric), or those below the reporting-threshold case volume. 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.
Across CMS's three benchmarked quality categories, this facility's mortality reads 1 same as avg, patient safety reads 1 same as avg, and 30-day readmission reads 4 same as avg, each measured against the national average.
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.
