Hospital Compare Quality Information

Star ratings information gives patients a useful way to compare local hospitals by highlighting important quality factors like readmissions, mortality, safety of care, patient experience and timely and effective care. The ratings are presented as stars, ranging from 1 to 5. A higher number of stars indicates better performance in each quality aspect.

  • Overall Quality Rating Not Available - There are too few measures or measure groups reported to calculate a star rating or measure group score.

    The overall rating is calculated by taking the weighted average of these group of scores. If a hospital is missing a measure category or group, the weights are redistributed amongst the qualifying measure categories or groups.

NPI NPI Number Validation

How NPI Validation Works

The NPI validation process uses the ISO-standard Luhn algorithm, a mathematical "handshake", to ensure that a provider's 10-digit ID is authentic and free of common typing errors.

To verify the NPI 1215005129, we treat the final digit (9) as the Check Digit—the target answer we need to reach. The process begins by taking the first nine digits and adding a constant value of 24, which accounts for the "80840" prefix required for all U.S. health identifiers. We then double every other digit starting from the right and sum the individual digits of those results together. For this specific NPI, that total comes to 41. The final step is to find the difference between that total and the next multiple of ten (50 - 41 = 9).

Digit-by-digit view

Use the first nine digits for the calculation. Starting from the right, double every other digit. The last digit is the check digit and is not part of the calculation.

Step 1: Double every other digit from the right

Starting with the rightmost digit of the first nine digits, double every other value. If doubling creates a two-digit number, add those digits together.

1 → 2 1 → 2 0 → 0 5 → 10 → 1 2 → 4

Step 2: Add all digits plus the NPI constant

Add the transformed values, the unchanged digits, and the constant 24.

2 + 2 + 2 + 5 + 0 + 0 + 1 + 0 + 1 + 4 + 24 = 41

Step 3: Find the amount needed to reach the next multiple of 10

The next multiple of ten after 41 is 50. The difference is the calculated check digit.

50 - 41 = 9
This NPI is valid
The calculated check digit is 9, which matches the last digit of 1215005129.
