Medicare’s Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program (HRRP) requires CMS to penalize acute care hospitals for readmissions within 30 days of discharge for these admission types:
84.2% of hospitals with dedicated psychiatric services are penalized for readmissions.²
For example, risk of readmission doubles in Rhode Island when mental health or substance abuse comorbidities are present.³
Mental health or substance abuse = Significantly higher potential for readmissions
1. Schizophrenia: 21%
2. Bipolar disorders: 15.8%
