Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R), also known as Physiatry, is a branch of medicine that tackles obstacles to therapy and advances patients towards functional goals. Our expert physiatry teams are specialists in diagnosing and managing conditions related to muscles, bones, nerves, and disabilities, including pain management.
Our specialized physiatry team utilizes cutting-edge medical diagnostics and personalized rehabilitation programs. We focus on treating the whole person, minimizing pain and maximizing performance without invasive interventions.
Partnering with American Physiatry can increase patient satisfaction and enhance clinical outcomes at no cost to you.
Here’s how we enhance your facility:
Many studies have shown that having a physiatry presence in your facility decreases fall risk, lowers hospital readmission rates, and increases patient satisfaction.
At No Cost To Your Facility
By bringing in a physiatry program, we collaborate with your existing team at no cost to you.
Our billing process is separate from that of the facility because we bill as medical consultants, so it does not impact the SNF billing. In addition, all diagnoses and ICD-10 codes are uploaded directly into PCC/Matrix, ensuring full charge capture for the facility. See this article from Knights on how this can affect your billing.
Driven by shared values and a commitment to excellent patient care, our specially trained teams collaborate with therapists and doctors in SNFs to help patients manage pain and enhance their functional abilities. We maintain the highest standard of medical oversight to ensure the quality and safety of our procedures and treatments.
