The Role of the Physician in Transitions to Post-Acute Rehabilitation

Publication Date: 7/22/2021

Length: 62:28

Content Level: Intermediate 1 General CE

Abstract
The PM&R physician plays a key role in the transition from acute to post-acute rehabilitation settings. With CMS changes beginning October 1, 2019 the role of the ?physiatrist will become even more important in determining the appropriate level of post-acute rehabilitation care. The CARE tool items initiated by CMS in October will impact the functional assessments of patients, and in turn will impact the reimbursement for the post-acute rehabilitation setting. The physician’s skilled facilitation of care will not only ensure the appropriate level of care, but also that the appropriate reimbursement is received for the post-acute rehabilitation episode.

Learning Objectives:
1. Describe the CARE tool and its impact on reimbursement for rehabilitation facilities.
2. Explain the role of the medical director/physician advisor in the post-acute rehabilitation setting.
3. List practical recommendations on working with PM&R physicians to ensure smooth transitions to rehabilitation settings.
