About Bienville Medical Center
Bienville Medical 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 Bienville Medical Center is $17,656, near the national median for acute-care hospitals. The composite value score of 54/100 puts Bienville Medical Center in the middle of the value distribution: not a standout choice on cost-vs-quality grounds, but not poor either.
Ownership is for-profit, which puts Bienville Medical Center in the investor-owned segment of U.S. hospitals. The category is overrepresented in some markets and absent in others, and the CMS measure set treats it identically to non-profits for reporting. The CMS payment record for Bienville Medical Center lists 18 distinct DRG codes — a mid-range procedure mix, including Major Hip and Knee Joint Replacement, Pulmonary Edema and Respiratory Failure, Nutritional and Misc Metabolic Disorders with MCC.
