  • No federal fines or payment denials in CMS’s 3-year window.
  • Inspection results have improved across recent cycles.

The composite number cleared 70 points, but Recommended is gated: inspection record below the Recommended bar; CMS rates its health inspections "much below average". That rule is part of the published method.
