First and foremost, it’s Important for you to know that after leaving the hospital and before you arrive in rehab how much rehabilitation and therapy you will get is predetermined and severely limited by your federal government regardless of your rehabilitation needs or your health status. The new PDPM systems goal is to shorten the rehabilitation length of stay and decrease reimbursement cost for therapies. PDPM will achieve this by limiting your access to therapies in skilled rehab centers and by limiting how long you stay in a rehab center. This will be achieved by decreasing reimbursement for skilled rehabilitation making therapies a financial liability for the rehab centers providing them. In other words, they plan to take a
