About Inpatient Rehabilitation

Inpatient Rehabilitation Facilities (IRFs) deliver intensive therapy — typically three or more hours per day, five days a week — for patients recovering from stroke, brain or spinal-cord injury, major joint replacement, or other major events. Medicare Part A covers IRF stays when the patient can tolerate the intensive therapy schedule and is expected to make measurable functional gains.

When you call: Ask about therapy-hour intensity, physician oversight (rehabilitation physician daily rounding), nurse-to-patient ratios, and discharge planning support.
