Is Your Physical Rehabilitation Program At Risk For Losing Its Exempt Status?

In today’s rapidly changing environment, a current unit has a number of rules and regulations to which it must now comply. As a result, many hospitals may have their unit exemptions at risk. Call Horizon Health Rehabilitation Services for a complimentary, risk-free analysis of your unit. Census, bed needs, CMG payments, staffing, average length of stay, and a host of other variables will be analyzed to provide you with an objective status review of your unit.

  • Are you confident that the admissions to your unit are compliant with the current phase of the 75% Rule implementation?
  • Are you working closely with your Fiscal Intermediary to ensure your patients will not be rejected as core CMS 13 admissions?
  • Are you behind in the number of CMS 13 admissions needed by your unit to be compliant with the 75% rule?

Is your acute rehabilitation program ready for full implementation of the 75% Rule?

A recent RAND study estimates that potentially 86% of IRFs may currently be out of compliance with the 75% rule. CMS can retroactively pay by DRG in lieu of CMGs for existing cost report year. The following year would also be paid under DRG until qualification can be re-established.

Is your inpatient acute rehabilitation program in compliance with the “75% Rule”? Let Horizon Health Rehabilitation Services help you determine whether your hospital is in compliance.
