Subacute care as a new source of revenue.
Subacute rehabilitation is a segment of subacute care that offers potential financial rewards for providers while offering needed care to rehabilitation patients who would qualify for subacute care. It is also a logical level of care for acute care providers and/or rehabilitation providers to implement. While a subacute rehabilitation unit definitely can be a more financially attractive opportunity than a traditional skilled nursing unit, success in such a venture requires an in-depth understanding of the structure of such units and of reimbursement for skilled nursing care.
