Read this carefully. The chargemaster is the hospital’s starting price; very few patients actually pay this amount, but it’s often the basis for self-pay billing before discounts. Cash-pay is what the hospital accepts when paid in full at time of service. Median commercial is what insurance plans typically pay (the actual rate on your EOB depends on your specific plan). Medicare is the federally-set baseline.

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.

Common questions

How does CMS rate RUSSELL COUNTY HOSPITAL?
RUSSELL COUNTY HOSPITAL did not receive a CMS overall hospital rating in the most recent CMS Care Compare release. Hospitals can be unrated when they don't report enough cases for the rating to be statistically meaningful.
Is RUSSELL COUNTY HOSPITAL a non-profit hospital?
RUSSELL COUNTY HOSPITAL is registered with CMS as Government - Local. 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 RUSSELL COUNTY HOSPITAL?
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.
How fresh is this data?
Quality and pricing data on this page comes from the CMS Care Compare program, refreshed quarterly. Last updated: 2026-04-29. The hospital roster (name, address, ownership) refreshes on the same cadence. Source files are linked from /data-sources, and a "Report inaccuracy" link at the bottom of this page sends a correction request that we acknowledge within 24 hours.

P.S. If you have a bill from RUSSELL COUNTY HOSPITAL on your desk right now, the fastest path is to scan it. The audit takes about a minute and cross-references every charge against four public data sources: CMS Medicare rates, NADAC drug acquisition costs, federally-required Hospital Price Transparency files, and the CMS National Correct Coding Initiative bundling rules. Start the audit →

P.P.S. Even though this isn’t a non-profit hospital, you still have federal rights: itemized statement (HIPAA §164.524), Good Faith Estimate (No Surprises Act), and the right to dispute amounts billed without prior consent. The scan drafts the appropriate letters for whichever apply.

P.P.P.S.The metrics on this page are from CMS Care Compare and refresh quarterly. They’re one input among several when evaluating a hospital. The other input most patients don’t look at: the hospital’s federally-required price-transparency file, which shows what the hospital actually bills for each procedure.
