About Us
Rehabilitation services are provided by physical and occupational therapists, speech and language therapists, social workers and vocational counselors. Each patient has a written care plan for services that include: diagnosis, prognosis of conditions, and a treatment regime intended to enhance and increase a patient's functional abilities.
Along with providing services, staff members at rehabilitation agencies are responsible for maintaining treatment equipment, a sanitary and comfortable treatment environment and confidentiality of clinical records.
Rehabilitation agencies aren't licensed by the state, but may be Medicare certified.
Medicare pays for services provided by certified rehabilitation agencies who voluntarily seek and are approved for certification by the federal Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). CMS contracts with the Department of Health to evaluate compliance with the federal rehabilitation regulations by periodically conducting unannounced surveys of these agencies.
