About Palmetto Lowcountry Behavioral Health
Palmetto Lowcountry Behavioral Health 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, Palmetto Lowcountry Behavioral Health is mid-pack: $16,802 average payment across documented procedures, close to the median for U.S. acute-care facilities. Palmetto Lowcountry Behavioral Health's value rating (55/100) reflects solid quality-for-cost performance: not the absolute best on either dimension alone, but a strong combination.
Ownership is for-profit, which puts Palmetto Lowcountry Behavioral Health 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 Palmetto Lowcountry Behavioral Health lists 17 distinct DRG codes — a mid-range procedure mix, including Kidney and Urinary Tract Infections without MCC, Esophagitis, Gastroenteritis with MCC, Cardiac Arrhythmia and Conduction 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.
