Business Model & Revenue
Revenue comes from inpatient stays reimbursed mainly by Medicare, managed-care plans and other insurers. Payment is often based on diagnosis and patient characteristics rather than each individual service. Admissions, reimbursement rates, case mix and occupancy drive revenue, while clinical staffing is the largest cost. New hospitals, bed additions and joint ventures with health systems expand capacity and referral relationships.
Key Facts & Market Position
The company focuses exclusively on inpatient rehabilitation after separating its former home-health and hospice business. Facilities must meet Medicare criteria for patient mix, therapy intensity and medical oversight. Scale supports clinical protocols and technology, but nurse and therapist availability, referral patterns, audits and reimbursement changes materially affect operations.
