Hospital Ratings Avoiding C-Sections Hospital Ratings Avoiding C-Sections Delivering a baby by C-section when that is not medically necessary poses additional health risks to the mother and the baby. Many hospitals in the U.S. do more C-sections than they should. Our hospital Ratings can help people compare hospitals in their community based on C-section rates. Higher-rated hospitals do fewer C-sections. Lower-rated hospitals do more of them. We have Ratings for avoiding C-sections for over 1,500 hospitals in 22 states. The rates were calculated using hospital billing records from those states; some of them already make this data public. Our Ratings are the largest, single source of comparative C-section data for individual hospitals in the country. The Ratings are based on the C-section rates for mothers who anticipate a low-risk delivery – that is, women who haven’t had a C-section before, don’t deliver prematurely, and are pregnant with a single baby who is properly positioned. The Ratings include all moms, not just first- time moms. The data the Ratings are based on does not include information on factors that may increase the risk of a C-section, such as heart problems in the mother or fetus, pregnancy-related high blood pressure, obesity, or other chronic diseases. C-section rates among the hospitals we looked at ranged from a low of 4 percent to a high of 57 percent. The average C-section rate was 17.6 percent, which would earn hospitals our second lowest Rating. Read our article on unnecessary C-sections (go to www.consumerreports.org/ cro/csections0514.htm) and our technical report on how we rate hospitals (go to www.consumerreports.org/howweratehospitals).

  • Network Considerations with the Advantage Network You Get Care at Hospitals and Generally Pay Similar Prices from One to Another
    Introduction Network Considerations With the Advantage network you get care at hospitals and generally pay similar prices from one to another. With the Summit network, some services are available only at hospitals, while others are also available at surgical or imaging centers with prices varying from one facility to the next. With both networks you get access to doctors’ offices, where prices can vary. The Summit network also provides rebates for certain procedures; see Benefits Summary. ADVANTAGE Price estimates for Intermountain Healthcare hospitals Procedure Doctor’s Office Surgery/Imaging Center Hospital Hysteroscopy $567 Not Available $4,165-5,858 Colonoscopy $653 Not Available $1,100-2,225 MRI of Head $536 Not Available $1,931-2,638 Knee Arthroscopy Not Available Not Available $3,279-8,373 Knee Replacement Not Available Not Available $31,485-33,289 SUMMIT Price ranges for IASIS, MountainStar, University of Utah, surgical centers, imaging centers Procedure Doctor’s Office Surgery/Imaging Center Hospital Hysteroscopy $507-567 $1,209-1,638 $3,721-9,532 Colonoscopy $653 $645-1,456 $1,284-2,728 MRI of Head $536 $550 $1,179-1,890 Knee Arthroscopy Not Available $851-1,489 $2,287-7,059 Knee Replacement Not Available $12,800-20,000 $23,961-36,815 *For illustrative purposes only. Based on PEHP average-cost data from April 2017. Costs may vary. Estimates shown reflect the total cost — not necessarily your portion of the cost. Live in Rural Utah? If so, consider which group of Wasatch Front providers you prefer when you choose your network. In addition to any personal preference or need for network- specific care, consider whether your local hospital and doctors are more likely to refer you to specialty care from Advantage (Intermountain) or Summit (University, Iasis, or MountainStar) providers and where emergency transport would most likely send you.

  • Hospital-Acquired Condition Penalties, Year 3
    Hospital-Acquired Condition Penalties, Year 3 Medicare is reducing payments to 769 hospitals with high rates of potentially avoidable infections and complications such as blood clots, bed sores and falls. This is the third year of the Hospital-Acquired Conditions Reduction Program, which was mandated by the federal health law to reduce patient injuries. Hospitals will lose 1 percent of each Medicare payment during the 12 months that began last October. This chart indicates which years hospitals were penalized under the program.
