McLean offers a full spectrum of care spanning inpatient, acute and longer-term residential, partial hospitalization and outpatient services.

  • Introduction to Non-Acute Hospital Profiles
    INTRODUCTION TO NON-ACUTE HOSPITAL PROFILES Non-acute hospitals in Massachusetts are typically identified as psychiatric, rehabilitation, and chronic care facilities. CHIA has defined non-acute hospitals in this publication using the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (DPH) and Department of Mental Health (DMH) license criteria. When presenting trends for utilization, costs, and financial performance, CHIA has provided baseline data for each hospital’s cohort as a point of comparison. Specialty non-acute hospitals are not considered a cohort; however, individual specialty non-acute hospital profiles are available. Psychiatric hospitals are licensed by DMH for psychiatric services and by DPH for substance abuse services.

However, in order for Partners HealthCare System affiliated entities to continue to provide high quality services and support community needs, each entity has a responsibility to seek prompt payment for services provided. Partners HealthCare System affiliated entities recognize that some patients have limited means and may not have access to insurance coverage for all services. This policy has been developed to assist uninsured patients and underinsured patients with limited financial resources. DEFINITIONS: POLICY STATEMENT: I. GENERAL PROVISIONS A.
