What is a comprehensive outpatient rehabilitation facility?

A Comprehensive Outpatient Rehabilitation Facility (CORF) is a Medicare-certified facility that provides coordinated outpatient rehabilitation services. CORFs offer physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech-language pathology, and other rehabilitation services to help patients recover from illness, injury, or surgery without being admitted to a hospital or skilled nursing facility.

What services do CORFs provide?

CORFs must provide physician services, physical therapy, and social or psychological services. They may also offer occupational therapy, speech-language pathology, respiratory therapy, prosthetic and orthotic services, and nursing care. All services are coordinated by a physician to create a comprehensive rehabilitation plan.

Does Medicare cover CORF services?

Yes, Medicare Part B covers outpatient rehabilitation services at CORFs when medically necessary and ordered by a physician. You typically pay 20% of the Medicare-approved amount after meeting the Part B deductible. Coverage includes physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and other rehabilitation services.

Understanding Comprehensive Outpatient Rehab Facilities

CORF Services

Physical therapy: Restore movement, strength, and function after injury or illness
Occupational therapy: Relearn daily activities, adapt to limitations, home safety
Speech therapy: Address swallowing, speech, cognitive-communication issues
Respiratory therapy: Pulmonary rehabilitation, breathing techniques
Psychological services: Counseling related to rehabilitation process

When CORF Makes Sense

Multiple therapy needs: Need PT, OT, and speech in a coordinated program
Intensive outpatient: More intensive than home health, less than inpatient rehab
Chronic conditions: Parkinson's, MS, stroke recovery, COPD requiring ongoing therapy
Post-acute care: Continuing rehabilitation after hospital or SNF discharge

CORF vs. Other Settings

vs. Single-discipline clinics: CORFs offer coordinated multi-specialty care under one roof
vs. Home health: More equipment and intensity; you travel to the facility
vs. Inpatient rehab: Less intensive; you go home each day
vs. Hospital outpatient: CORFs may offer more therapy-focused environment

Choosing a CORF

Check services offered: Make sure the CORF provides all the therapy types you need—not all offer every service.

Consider scheduling: How often will you need to attend? Can they accommodate your schedule? Is transportation available?

Meet the team: A physician directs the program. Ask about therapist experience with your specific condition.

Ask about outcomes: What goals will you work toward? How do they measure progress?
