CMS Investigations

Psychiatric hospitals are inspected on a regular basis.  Inspectors may also come in to investigate problems that come up between regular visits.  The Centers of Medicare and Medicaid Management Services (CMS) inspects the hospitals.  CMS decides whether the hospitals are meeting its standards; if they are, then the hospitals can bill Medicare and Medicaid for patient care.  Copies of CMS inspections for the past three years are available on this site (All reports are PDF documents, less than 100 KB, unless otherwise noted):
