Capital District Psych Center

Capital District Psych 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.

On payment metrics, Capital District Psych Center runs expensive: average Medicare payment across documented procedures is $19,183, in the upper bracket of U.S. hospitals. The composite value score of 51/100 puts Capital District Psych Center in the middle of the value distribution: not a standout choice on cost-vs-quality grounds, but not poor either.

Ownership is government — county, hospital-district, or federal. The category includes some of the largest safety-net hospitals in the country alongside small rural facilities. The CMS payment record for Capital District Psych Center lists 16 distinct DRG codes — a mid-range procedure mix, including Spinal Fusion (Non-Cervical) with MCC, Septicemia or Severe Sepsis without Ventilator, Heart Failure and Shock with CC. Emergency services are not offered, which is unusual for an acute-care facility — most often reflects a specialty hospital or non-traditional inpatient model.
