For fiscal year 2026, CMS reports a Total HAC Score of 2.1717 for Unity Specialty Hospital and a payment reduction decision of Yes.

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

Its score was above CMS’s line, so CMS cut its Medicare inpatient payments by 1% 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 FY2022, CMS reports a payment reduction decision for this hospital but no Total HAC Score.

CMS’s note on the score: This result is not based on performance data; the hospital did not submit data and did not submit an HAI exemption form.

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.

  2. CLABSI (what it counts)

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

(2.1717SSI)÷1measures=2.1717Total HAC Score

This hospital’s score is 1.7925 above 0.3792, the highest score CMS marked No. (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 2.1717 and a payment reduction decision of Yes.

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.

What would it take?

From CMS’s values, one measure at a time, with every other measure held at CMS’s value.

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.

Its longest run: cut 3 years in a row.

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 New York, its score is higher than 100% of the other 125 scored there.

Figure 5. Its score is above the middle in all 5 groups it belongs to; the share cut runs from 25% (All hospitals) to 36% (New York).
