The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) periodically surveys adult patients who stayed recently at a hospital that services Medicaid and Medicare plan participants.  The purpose of these surveys is to gauge the level of patient satisfaction with their recent inpatient hospital experience. The CMS ratings methodology involves combining patient questionnaire responses into a uniform patient satisfaction rating on a 1 to 5-star scale, with five stars being the high score on the scale.  As of April 15, 2026, only ten hospitals in Nebraska earned five-stars on CMS patient surveys.  From CMS patient satisfaction surveys, listed alphabetically the ten hospitals in Nebraska that rated as five-stars for patient experience were:
