Medicine Lodge Memorial Hospital is a government - hospital district or authority-owned critical access hospitals in Medicine Lodge, KS, reporting to CMS under the Hospital Compare and Care Compare programs. CMS has not issued an overall Star Rating for this facility, which typically means the hospital is new, is specialty-focused (children’s, cancer, or psychiatric), or did not meet reporting thresholds. Emergency services are part of this facility’s reported scope, a factor that shapes both case mix and No-Surprises-Act balance-billing exposure for patients treated here.
CMS rates each quality indicator as better, same, or worse than the national average -- mortality comes in at 1 same as avg, patient safety at 1 same as avg, and 30-day readmission at 2 same as 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. This page provides publicly reported CMS data for informational reference, not medical or financial advice.
