Milestone Health

Description

These rehabilitation facilities serve medically fragile patients who require an intense level of physical, occupational and speech therapy in an inpatient hospital setting. DRG exempt IRFs are specially licensed and Medicare certified. This includes highly regulated and close monitoring by CMS. The prevailing goal for these patients is to return to the community at the highest level of independence. This is accomplished with an intensive treatment program including 3 hours of therapy a day and specialized rehabilitation nursing spanning a 12-14 day average length of stay.

These units are DRG exempt from Acute PPS and must comply with very specific CMS regulations to maintain exemption status. Length of stay for the geriatric psychiatric population is approximately 14 days to realize the full benefits of psychotropic medications and behavioral management of symptoms.
