Physiatry Driven Payment Model: Targeting Higher Acuity and Increased PDPM Accuracy Through Physiatry
Discover How Adding Physiatrists to Your SNF Care Team Can Unlock Higher PDPM Reimbursement — Without Adding Cost.
Are You Leaving PDPM Reimbursement on the Table?
Most skilled nursing facilities focus on therapy or nursing when it comes to PDPM strategy. But there’s a missing piece that could drive even better margins — physiatry.
This white paper breaks down a Gravity Healthcare Consulting study on the impact of PDPM-trained physiatrists working within SNFs. The results speak for themselves — facilities using physiatry services saw an average PDPM per diem increase of $58-$72 per resident, per day.
In this white paper, you’ll learn:
What physiatrists actually do in a skilled nursing setting
Why accurate ICD-10 coding and documentation directly impacts PDPM rates
The PDPM categories most impacted by physiatry collaboration
Real-world financial results from SNFs using this model
How physiatry can elevate both reimbursement and clinical care — without adding cost to the facility
If you’re serving higher-acuity residents or struggling to capture the right reimbursement under PDPM, this is essential reading.
