Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Critical Access Hospital (CAH)?▼
Critical Access Hospitals are small rural hospitals with 25 or fewer inpatient beds, located more than 35 miles from the nearest hospital. They receive special Medicare funding to keep rural healthcare accessible.
Why doesn't this hospital have a star rating?▼
Critical Access Hospitals are exempt from CMS star ratings because their small patient volumes make statistical comparisons unreliable. This is not a reflection of quality.
Are Critical Access Hospitals safe?▼
CAHs meet federal safety standards and are regularly inspected. For complex procedures, they often transfer patients to larger facilities — which is the right call for patient safety.
Why is some clinical data missing?▼
CAHs report fewer measures to CMS because their patient volumes are too small to produce statistically valid results. Missing data does not mean poor quality.
Should I travel to a larger hospital instead?▼
For emergencies, go to the nearest hospital. For planned procedures like joint replacement or cancer surgery, discuss with your doctor whether the procedure volume at a larger hospital would be beneficial.
