The hospital is licensed as an acute care hospital by the State of Nebraska and fully accredited by The Joint Commission. In addition, Nebraska Orthopaedic Hospital has obtained Disease Specific Care Certification by the Joint Commission for both total hip and total knee replacement - the only hospital in Nebraska to hold this level of certification. It is also certified by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), therefore the hospital is able to provide care for individuals who participate in those government sponsored programs.
