How Long Will you Stay?

Our overall average length of stay for 2020 was 12.13 days.

Many factors influence your length of stay including severity of injury, previous health status, and
medical complications. The Rehab Team will determine an estimated length of stay for you based on the evaluations after your admission. A case manager will keep you updated on the Teams recommendations.

Admission Criteria and Process

The Admission Process begins with a physician order, followed by a referral to our facility. Our Admissions Liaison will correspond with the referring facility’s Case Manager to obtain clinical information and meet with the patient and family. The information obtained will then be presented to our Rehabilitation Physician, who will determine the appropriateness of inpatient rehabilitation admission.

Requirements for admission to the Rehabilitation Center are that the patient is clinically stable, has
ongoing medical needs that require close supervision of a physician, and can tolerate and be willing to participate in an intensive rehab program consisting of 3 hours of therapy per day for 5 days a week, or 15 hours a week.

Upon being accepted for admission our Liaison will coordinate with the Case Manager at your facility to obtain discharge orders and arrange transport to our facility.

Insurance/Payment Information

  • Medicare: Covers inpatient rehabilitation provided you meet the criteria at admission and during your stay. The medical director will make the decision whether you meet the criteria, but that determination is always subject to review from Medicare.
  • Private Insurance: Your benefits will be verified prior to admission and preauthorization for admission obtained. This is not a guarantee of payment. Throughout your stay, your case manager will work with your insurance provider to obtain continued authorization.
  • Private Pay: If you are paying for the program privately and feel you may need assistance, please contact the business office at Norman Regional at 405-307-1318, and they will assist you.
