Rehabilitation Access: More Physician Freedom in Therapy Planning

This act aims to restore greater freedom to physicians in determining which rehabilitation therapies are necessary for patients in hospitals. This allows Medicare patients to receive more personalized care, potentially improving their recovery and independence.
Key points
Physicians will be able to include more types of therapies (e.g., recreational, respiratory) in rehabilitation plans, which was previously restricted.
This change is intended to ensure that patients receive the full range of medically necessary rehabilitation services tailored to their individual needs.
The act applies to Medicare patients requiring intensive inpatient rehabilitation.
