Quality measures

CMS publishes these measures quarterly through the Care Compare program. Each measure is risk-adjusted where applicable so hospitals serving sicker patients aren’t penalized for their case mix. Values shown are this hospital’s reported numbers; “Not reported” means the case volume was too low for the figure to be statistically meaningful.

Mortality

30-day risk-standardized death rates for common admission types — tracked by CMS as a hospital-level outcome measure. Lower numbers are better; CMS adjusts for case mix so hospitals serving sicker patients aren't penalized.

Is NORTHEAST GEORGIA MEDICAL CENTER HABERSHAM a non-profit hospital?
NORTHEAST GEORGIA MEDICAL CENTER HABERSHAM is registered with CMS as Government - Hospital District or Authority. ACA §501(r)'s charity-care requirement applies to non-profit hospitals; for-profit and most government hospitals are governed by other rules.
How do I dispute a bill from NORTHEAST GEORGIA MEDICAL CENTER HABERSHAM?
Every patient has federal rights regardless of which hospital sent the bill: (1) request an itemized statement (HIPAA §164.524), (2) receive a Good Faith Estimate before scheduled care (No Surprises Act, 2022), (3) dispute amounts billed beyond the agreed-upon estimate or without prior consent, and (4) apply for charity care if the facility is a 501(c)(3) non-profit (ACA §501(r)). Side-by-side comparison of your itemized bill against Medicare benchmarks is the standard first step in any review.
