Alton Mental Health Center

Alton Mental Health Center does not carry an overall CMS Hospital Compare star rating — typically because the hospital is too small, too specialized, or reports too few of the underlying measures to compute the composite. The CMS Hospital Compare measures break roughly evenly between better- and worse-than-benchmark performance, which is the modal pattern across U.S. hospitals.

Average Medicare payment per documented procedure at Alton Mental Health Center is $17,396, near the national median for acute-care hospitals. The composite value score of 54/100 puts Alton Mental Health Center in the middle of the value distribution: not a standout choice on cost-vs-quality grounds, but not poor either.

Alton Mental Health Center is a government-owned hospital — typically county, hospital district, or federal (VA, military, Indian Health Service). Government hospitals have a distinct mission profile, often serving safety-net populations or specific veteran or tribal communities. The CMS payment record for Alton Mental Health Center lists 10 distinct DRG codes — a mid-range procedure mix, including Pulmonary Edema and Respiratory Failure, Intracranial Hemorrhage or Cerebral Infarction with MCC, Nutritional and Misc Metabolic Disorders with MCC. Emergency services are not offered, which is unusual for an acute-care facility — most often reflects a specialty hospital or non-traditional inpatient model.
