Palo Verde Hospital

Palo Verde Hospital 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.

On payment metrics, Palo Verde Hospital runs expensive: average Medicare payment across documented procedures is $18,978, in the upper bracket of U.S. hospitals. The composite value score of 52/100 puts Palo Verde Hospital in the middle of the value distribution: not a standout choice on cost-vs-quality grounds, but not poor either.

Palo Verde Hospital 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 Palo Verde Hospital lists 12 distinct DRG codes — a mid-range procedure mix, including Cesarean Section without CC/MCC, Simple Pneumonia and Pleurisy with MCC, Simple Pneumonia and Pleurisy 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.
