IN-PATIENT & OUT-PATIENT REHABILITATION

Mid-America assists providers in the development and management of acute, sub-acute, and outpatient rehabilitation services. Our partners have helped providers of all types - from small rural hospitals to highly integrated healthcare service networks - improve their patient care management systems. Advances in acute care, combined with focused medical and physical rehabilitation services, have helped millions to live productively and without debilitating pain or frustrating limitations. Continued discoveries in the realm of rehabilitation services will help even more people to overcome serious setbacks and achieve unforeseen levels of independence.  Despite cost pressures and utilization limitations imposed by Medicare and other payers, providers of rehabilitation services face the challenge of maintaining high quality and achieving desired outcomes. Newly implemented prospective payment system (PPS) rates require providers of rehabilitation and sub-acute (skilled nursing facility) services to redesign processes, improve efficiency and demonstrate cost effectiveness in order to remain profitable and positioned for managed care and other third-party contracting.
