About Southcoast Behavioral Health
Southcoast 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.

On payment metrics, Southcoast Behavioral Health runs expensive: average Medicare payment across documented procedures is $19,704, in the upper bracket of U.S. hospitals. The composite value score of 50/100 puts Southcoast Behavioral Health in the middle of the value distribution: not a standout choice on cost-vs-quality grounds, but not poor either.
