About Tower Behavioral Health
Tower 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.
Average payment per documented procedure at Tower Behavioral Health is $18,939 — among the higher-cost facilities in the dataset. Combined cost-and-quality value comes to 52/100 — a middling result, reflecting either average quality at average cost or trade-offs in one direction.
Ownership is for-profit, which puts Tower 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 Tower Behavioral Health lists 12 distinct DRG codes — a mid-range procedure mix, including Pulmonary Edema and Respiratory Failure, Percutaneous Cardiovascular Procedure with Drug-Eluting Stent, Hip and Femur Procedures Except Major Joint 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.
