The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) employs a star rating system to appraise the quality of acute care hospitals that service Medicaid and Medicare recipients. This rating methodology appraises participating hospital data on several quality metrics, including the timeliness of care, patient safety, readmission rates, patient experience, and mortality. Utilizing a multi-step analysis, the CMS computes a standardized score for each metric, then compiles the scores into a consolidated quality rating on a 1 to 5-star scale, with the scale's best score being 5-stars. Based on this CMS analysis, as of October 13, 2025, only eight (8) acute care hospitals, two of which are veteran's medical centers, in the state of South Carolina earned a five-star quality rating. Alphabetically listed, here are the hospitals rated by the CMS as five-star quality acute care hospitals in South Carolina:
