  Due to Medicare regulations enacted by Congress, it is very difficult for physicians to admit their patients, who have recently undergone total joint procedures, into post-operative rehab facilities after surgery.

The new rules in place require a facility to have at least 75% of its patients fall under certain criteria including stroke, traumatic brain injury and spinal cord injury. Total joint procedures are not included in this 75%. Therefore, patients who do not qualify are being turned away from specialized orthopedic rehabilitation facilities.

  

PLEASE tell your congressmen that you deserve and expect the right to rehab access. Ask for their help in changing the qualifying criteria to include total joint procedures for house bill HR 3373-Preserving Patient Access to Inpatient Rehabilitation Hospitals Act of 2005, S. 1405. We wish to continue to provide the excellent care you have come to expect from McBride Clinic physicians.
