Context that affects how to read this rating

Chi St Lukes Health Memorial San Augustine is a Rural Emergency Hospital (REH) — a facility designation created by Congress in 2023 for rural hospitals that converted from full inpatient service to emergency department + 24-hour observation only. REH facilities do not report standard inpatient quality measures because they don't admit inpatients. Quality oversight for REH is via the CMS REH Conditions of Participation and state survey agencies.

Medicare quality scoring (MIPS)

19 of these clinicians have a published Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) final score. Of those, 12 (63%) score above the national median of 85.5.

MIPS scoring is heavily compressed at the top of the 0–100 range, so individual scores are not a reliable consumer signal. We surface roster-level coverage and the share above the national median instead.

Source: CMS Doctors and Clinicians (Care Compare) national downloadable file and MIPS Performance Year final scores, as of 2026-05-27. Affiliations from the CMS Facility Affiliations dataset. About 16% of small facilities (critical access, rural emergency, freestanding psych, IRF/LTCH) do not appear in the affiliations file and therefore have no panel.

About this data

Quality and ratings data are sourced from the U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Hospital Compare program. Star ratings are CMS's own calculation; CareRanks does not modify or re-weight them. Facility-level details (address, beds, ownership, teaching status) come from CMS provider files and the CMS Provider of Services file.

Pricing data, where shown, is drawn from the hospital's own Machine-Readable File (MRF) published under the federal Hospital Price Transparency Rule. See our methodology for the full update cadence and limitations.
