We serve as consultants for your residents who are receiving therapy services. All physicians are trained to provide basic medical care, but we will defer those decisions to your primary care attending physicians already in-house. However, we can provide assistance with pain management and therapy optimization, and can even perform time-consuming peer to peer reviews for residents on their behalf using our rehab knowledge. We operate under a model of collaboration and communication with your attending physicians, helping free them to focus on their jobs as the main providers of medical care in your facility.

Yes, CMS currently requires licensed PM&R physicians to staff acute inpatient rehabilitation hospitals. However, the types of patients who were appropriate for acute rehab 10-20 years ago are now heading to SNFs, with the same complex medical issues and major physical impairments. Today more than ever, physicians with specialized knowledge of rehabilitation are necessary to ensure that SNF residents get the care they require and deserve. Imagine a post-acute facility without any medical rehabilitation oversight; residents would be at increased risk for decompensation, wounds, infection, falls, intractable pain, and hospital readmission. Let us use our expertise to help your facility prevent these and stand above the rest!

Our clinicians will see all your residents who are receiving physical, occupational, and/or speech therapy. We also accept all insurances.

Absolutely. Adding one of our consultant physicians to your facility will generate more accurate clinical documentation which can encapsulate the entire spectrum of appropriate medical diagnoses. This is important to ensure your facility gets the appropriate reimbursement (via compliance with PDPM and increasing case mix index) for caring for the complex residents of today. Our documentation will also help with risk reduction and potential audit defense.
