Inpatient Rehabilitation Care Access Information Card
Medicare Patients and Their Families Must Act Now to Protect Services

Your Access to Inpatient Rehabilitation Care May Be Lost to a Government Rule Change
A change in Medicare policy threatens your very ability to get inpatient rehabilitation care and could soon jeopardize the existence of many rehabilitation hospitals in Pennsylvania. In a sweeping change of how Medicare defines which patients qualify for inpatient rehabilitation services, many individuals who would have previously been able to receive inpatient rehabilitation care now will not.
Without your help, critical rehabilitation services could vanish and your ability to get that care at the most comprehensive site available … a rehabilitation hospital … will only be a memory for those who need it most.
