Minnesota has 136 hospitals in the CMS hospital files, 116 of them with emergency services. The average overall rating is 3.8 of 5 and 1 is rated one star. In fiscal year 2026, 10 of them faced a 1% Medicare payment reduction under the Hospital-Acquired Condition Reduction Program, and 30 had an excess readmission ratio above 1.0 on at least one condition tracked by the Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program.

SpecStream is the live web data engine for teams and agents. It reads the CMS hospital files and the Medicare ownership file, and this page is that reading, joined on the CMS Certification Number. Ask for the hospitals you track by state, owner, system or rating, and each new penalty or rating change arrives in your sheet, CRM, Slack or agent as CMS publishes it.
