Care is delivered through an interdisciplinary model involving specialized nurses, therapists, and case managers utilizing advanced clinical protocols and technology. Nearly all patients enter these facilities via physician referrals following acute-care hospital stays, with Medicare, Medicare Advantage, and managed care plans serving as the primary sources of payment for these nondiscretionary healthcare services.
