Rehabilitation is covered in full or part by most health insurance plans, including Medicare and Medicaid. The hospital has contracts with most major insurance companies and is willing to negotiate with other companies as needed. In order to be evaluated by a HealthSouth rehabilitation liaison, you must request Encompass Health through your attending physician or case manager if being admitted after an acute hospital stay. When beginning your rehabilitation, you are led by your own Encompass Health team, guiding you with a personalized treatment plan targeting your specific needs and goals. The direction, knowledge and tools received through your comprehensive program help you reach your highest level of physical, social and emotional recovery. Rehabilitation requires a strong commitment from each patient to perform therapy exercises and to learn and practice the skills needed for a safe return home.

Throughout each day of your rehabilitation, you are encouraged to be up and dressed, gradually resuming normal routines for a more productive return home. You participate in at least three hours of therapy a day, five days a week. This may include relearning everyday skills, such as dressing, grooming and eating. Other sessions may take place in our state-of-the-art rehabilitation gym – a positive, encouraging environment. Your comfort is a primary concern. We work with you to make sure you get the rest you need between therapy sessions.

In addition, our hospital requires a minimum of three hours a day of physical therapy, occupational therapy, and/or speech therapy, at least five days per week.
