from this program

For fiscal year 2026, CMS reports a Total HAC Score of −1.4622 for Whiteriver PHS Indian Hospital and a payment reduction decision of No.

A cut would have taken about $28K estimate 1% of about $2.8M, this site’s estimate of what traditional Medicare pays it for inpatient stays in a year. Its score was 1.8421 under 0.3799, the lowest score CMS cut.

Likely range $21–35K

Its score was at or below CMS’s line, so this program did not cut its Medicare payments for the year. The score compares hospitals with each other; it is not a grade of the quality of care.

CMS cut scores of 0.3799 and above.

Each year CMS cuts the hospitals with the highest quarter of scores, those above the 75th percentile, so the line moves with other hospitals’ scores.

In FY2024, CMS reports a payment reduction decision for this hospital but no Total HAC Score.

CMS scored this hospital on a single measure, so that measure alone set its Total HAC Score.

Where the score came from

CMS scored this hospital on 1 of the 6 measures. On every measure a lower value is better. Each row puts the hospital among every hospital with a value: the gray columns are those hospitals, the tall tick is the national median, and the hatched ends score the same as CMS’s floor or cap.

None of the measures CMS scored it on is above the national median, so no single measure at the median would lower its score.

How the parts add up

CMS adds the z‑scores and divides by the number of measures scored, so each measure counts the same. Each bar below is one z‑score divided by 1; a bar right of zero raised the score and one left of zero lowered it.

(−1.4622CDI)÷1measures=−1.4622Total HAC Score

Added from the rounded z‑scores CMS published, the parts make −1.4622; CMS reports −1.4622. The small difference is rounding.

This hospital’s score is 1.8421 below 0.3799, the lowest score CMS marked Yes. (This site recomputes.)

The money is a cliff

This program’s cut doesn’t grow with the score. Over CMS’s line, CMS cuts 1% of what traditional Medicare pays a hospital for inpatient stays that year; at or under the line, this program cuts nothing.

The chart draws what the cut would be for this hospital at any Total HAC Score, from this site’s estimate of its payments, with its own score marked.

Figure 3. The cut is a cliff, not a slope: this hospital’s score, 1.8421 under the lowest score CMS cut, costs it nothing; 1.8421 higher, the cut would have been about $28K by this site’s estimate, the same as at CMS’s highest score, 2.3133.

The money, line by line

This site estimates what traditional Medicare pays the hospital for a year of inpatient stays, from CMS’s FY2026 payment files, then applies Medicare’s three hospital quality programs: the readmissions and value-based adjustments to the base payment, and the HAC cut last, as the law sets.

The readmissions and value-based programs adjust only the base payment: the DRG rates times the hospital’s cases, and a Medicare-dependent hospital’s add-on. The HAC cut comes last and takes 1% of everything left, teaching, low-income-patient, outlier, capital and uncompensated care payments included.

$28,359at stake÷191traditional Medicare stays=$148per traditional Medicare stay

Figure 4. No HAC cut this year; 1% of the hospital’s whole inpatient payment would have been about $28K by this site’s estimate. The readmissions and value-based adjustments, on the base alone, came to $0 and $0.

Not paid to this hospital: a Medicare-dependent hospital add-on, teaching payments, outlier payments, and a sole community hospital rate difference.

Whole dollars, so every line adds up; the estimate is not that precise. Each likely range spans the middle 80% of the misses this site’s estimate made for similar hospitals (or for a wider group, where there were too few) when it was checked against their FY2024 cost reports: one year’s check, not a promise of how often a hospital’s actual figure lands inside.

CMS’s line: between 0.3792 and 0.3799

The faint ticks are CMS’s line in earlier years under the same formula, from about 0.300 (FY2022) to about 0.375 (FY2024). The line moves every year, so a hospital can cross it without changing anything.

CMS reports a Total HAC Score of −1.4622 and a payment reduction decision of No.

A what-if shows the formula’s arithmetic, not what a hospital could realistically change or how. CMS’s real result also depends on other hospitals.

How much cushion?

Staying at or under CMS’s line keeps about $28K out of this program’s cut, this site estimates: a score a hair over would cost all of it.

Among hospitals with a Yes or No payment decision, CMS cut those with a published Total HAC Score of 0.3799 or higher and none at 0.3792 or lower. Maryland’s hospitals are scored but not subject to the reduction.

Held fixed: every other hospital’s results, CMS’s line, and each measure’s mean, spread, floor and cap as this site fits them to CMS’s published values.

Year by year

Where this hospital’s score fell among every hospital’s, each year CMS published one. A score near the top is among the highest; the shaded band is where CMS cut. Places compare across years even where CMS changed how it builds the score.
