PDPM Financial Analysis: Therapy Armageddon or Therapy Freedom?
Understand How PDPM Reshaped Therapy Reimbursement — And What It Means for Your Margins Today.
Is PDPM the end of therapy as we know it — or the opportunity providers have been waiting for?
When CMS replaced RUGs-IV with PDPM, therapy reimbursement shifted dramatically. Many providers panicked. Others saw potential.
In this white paper, Melissa Sabo, OTR/L, CDP, CSRS, breaks down the true financial impact of PDPM on therapy services in skilled nursing facilities. Using real-world financial modeling and case examples, she shows where providers stand to lose — and where smart strategy can drive stronger margins than ever before.
You’ll learn:
Why PDPM isn’t just a reimbursement change — it’s a redistribution of revenue
How therapy minutes impact your margins under PDPM
What contract therapy pitfalls could trigger audits, denials, or recoupments
Why in-house therapy might be your most profitable move
And how leading providers are adapting to thrive in the new environment
This paper is essential reading for SNF operators, administrators, and therapy leaders navigating life after RUGs-IV.
