About Hill Crest Behavioral Health Services
Hill Crest Behavioral Health Services 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.
Cost-wise, Hill Crest Behavioral Health Services is mid-pack: $14,734 average payment across documented procedures, close to the median for U.S. acute-care facilities. Hill Crest Behavioral Health Services's value rating (58/100) reflects solid quality-for-cost performance: not the absolute best on either dimension alone, but a strong combination.
Ownership is for-profit, which puts Hill Crest Behavioral Health Services 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. 10 distinct procedures are documented in CMS payment files for Hill Crest Behavioral Health Services. Top examples: Cardiac Arrhythmia and Conduction Disorders with MCC, Renal Failure with CC, Major Hip and Knee Joint Replacement. Emergency services are not offered, which is unusual for an acute-care facility — most often reflects a specialty hospital or non-traditional inpatient model.
