For fiscal year 2026, CMS reports a Total HAC Score of 0.3548 for Levi Hospital and a payment reduction decision of No.

CMS’s FY2026 impact file, which this site’s estimate is built from, has no usable row for this hospital.

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.

Where the score came from

CMS scored this hospital on 2 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.

Figure 1. This hospital has a published value for one measure, CDI, and it is at or below the national median.

    Surgical site infections after colon surgery or abdominal hysterectomy

    CMS assigned this measure its worst possible score under the program’s rules; it is not a measured result. CMS’s footnote gives the reason.

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 2; a bar right of zero raised the score and one left of zero lowered it.

This hospital’s score is 0.0251 below 0.3799, the lowest score CMS marked Yes. (This site recomputes.)

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 0.3548 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.

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.

Among hospitals like it

Each row is a group this hospital belongs to, drawn from every hospital in it with a payment decision. Red columns are hospitals past CMS’s line, the ones CMS cut; the short tick is the group’s middle score.

In Arkansas, its score is higher than 63% of the other 38 scored there.

Figure 5. Its score is above the middle in all 5 groups it belongs to; the share cut runs from 22% (South region) to 36% (Arkansas).
