About Scenic Mountain Medical Center
Scenic Mountain Medical 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.

Average Medicare payment per documented procedure at Scenic Mountain Medical Center is $17,212, near the national median for acute-care hospitals. The composite value score of 54/100 puts Scenic Mountain Medical Center in the middle of the value distribution: not a standout choice on cost-vs-quality grounds, but not poor either.
