U.S. I also need the number broken down into the number of acute
inpatient facilities versus sub-acute care facilities. |

Hi bobbie7!
I think that the number of rehabilitation hospitals is closer to
8,000, so I think the information below may be just a subset of them.

In the following document it says that there are an estimated 6,820
hospitals in the United States.

Dear Jess05,
I'm a bit confused.
In the following document it says that there are an estimated 6,820
hospitals in the United States.
http://www.americanpyro.com/Safety%20Info/Facts02/Perspective.pdf
And in your clarification you say that you think the number of
rehabilitation hospitals is closer to 8,000.
How can that be if there are an estimated 6,820hospitals in the United States?
Could you please clarify your question.
Sincerely, Bobbie7

Hi bobbie7,
I need to know the number of outpatient rehabilitation facilities
there are in the United States. These may not all be hospital-based.

There are about 15,000 SNFs, 2,500 outpatient rehabilitation
facilities, and about 5,600 outpatient hospital facilities.
Excerpt:
"Sections 4541(a)(2) and 4541(a)(3) of BBA 1997 change the payment
of outpatient rehabilitation services from cost-based to a payment
system based on the physician fee schedule. The regulatory changes are
to conform our regulations to the provisions of the BBA 1997.
In addition to the changes directed by the statute, the following
changes are being made in this rule to furnish information for
identification of the outpatient rehabilitation services and for
administrative purposes:
Specifying HCPCS as the coding system for rehabilitation
services since it is used by the fee schedule in section 1848 of the
Act.
Providing for discipline-specific modifiers to be used in
coding services.
Providing for a code for nursing services performed in
CORFs.
These administrative changes will have a negligible impact.
Section 4541(c) of BBA 1997 applies an annual per beneficiary limit
of $1,500 to all outpatient physical therapy services (including
speech-language pathology services) except for services furnished by a
hospital outpatient department. A separate $1,500 limit also applies to
all outpatient occupational therapy services except for services
furnished by hospital outpatient departments. Therapy services
furnished incident to a physician's professional services are also
subject to these limits. The changes in this rule conform the
regulations to the BBA 1997 provisions. The delay in full
implementation, however, is discussed below.
There are several different types of providers that will be
affected by this BBA 1997 provision. The largest providers are SNFs,
outpatient rehabilitation facilities, and hospital outpatient
departments. There are about 15,000 SNFs, 2,500 outpatient
rehabilitation facilities, and about 5,600 outpatient hospital
facilities. We determined that the services that would be affected by
these changes account for about 15 percent of Medicare Part B payments
to facilities.

Is this what you need?

Hi bobbie7,
That is the number I need, however the excerpt that you posted is from
1998. It would be extremely helpful to have a more recent estimate,
even from 2000 or later if it is possible.

Hello again Jess05!
Would this figure be helpful?

35,000 rehabilitation facilities in Canada, the United States and Europe
"The Davis Center for Rehabilitation at Baptist Hospital provides a
full range of inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation services for
adults and children. Baptist Health?s overall commitment to excellence
has extended to this specialized field since 1976, when it began the
first private inpatient rehabilitation program in Miami-Dade County.
Baptist Hospital is accredited by the Rehabilitation Accreditation
Commission in four programs: inpatient rebabilitation; inpatient brain
injury rehabilitation; outpatient rehabilitation; and outpatient brain
injury rehabilitation. The commission is a private, not-for-profit
organization that currently accredits more than 35,000 rehabilitation
facilities in Canada, the United States and Europe. Our goal is to
return patients to their highest level of independence, and to
integrate them back to the community following their injury."

Hi bobbie7,
This is definitely an interesting number but adds a bit to the
confusion. If there are only 3,700 rehabilitation facilities in the
U.S. (1,200 inpatient and 2,500 outpatient)from the data already given
above, it seems strange that Canada and Europe would have an
additional 30,000+ rehab facilities between them (to make up the
number of 35,000).

Jess05,
This is very frustrating because of the different figures provided by
various sources.
I sent out an email to The American Academy of Physical Medicine and
Rehabilitation ( www.aapmr.org ) asking if they could give me an
appoximate number of rehabilitation facilities and hospitals in the
United States.
If they reply, I will let you know.
Best regards,
Bobbie7
