About Mental Health Institute
Mental Health Institute 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. Outcome measures are mixed: 0 mortality, 0 safety, and 0 readmission measures rate better than benchmark; 0 mortality, 0 safety, and 0 rate worse. The composite outcome score is 50/100.
Cost-wise, Mental Health Institute is mid-pack: $13,487 average payment across documented procedures, close to the median for U.S. acute-care facilities. Mental Health Institute's value rating (61/100) reflects solid quality-for-cost performance: not the absolute best on either dimension alone, but a strong combination.
Mental Health Institute 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 Mental Health Institute lists 16 distinct DRG codes — a mid-range procedure mix, including Spinal Fusion (Non-Cervical) with MCC, Intracranial Hemorrhage or Cerebral Infarction with MCC, Septicemia or Severe Sepsis without Ventilator. Emergency services are not offered, which is unusual for an acute-care facility — most often reflects a specialty hospital or non-traditional inpatient model.
