In-house rehab without the headache
PTM is offering the best of both worlds. Well researched and proven in-house therapy with the additional expert management traditionally expected from your therapy vendor — but without the additional cost and without traditional revenue sharing. It’s time to inspect your rehab partner and ensure proper alignment, strong clinical programs, revenue building opportunities, and cost reduction.
Clinical Expertise and Turnkey Management
PTM is a therapy solution integrating with your facility clinical team. We bring compliance assurance, training, quality assurance, risk management, and innovative programs. All while managing your therapy department, staffing, outcome tracking, caseload development, and daily workflow oversight.
Endorsements
The PTM therapy model is the best financial option for SNFs. After careful review and analysis of costs and revenue generation, It’s clear the in-house hybrid model is the best option. This model’s revenue streams do not fall off and the expenses become contained, lower, and predictable. I endorse PTM and excited to join the collaboration. I’m encouraging our Axiom customers to review PTM and set up a consultation. I’m endorsing and recommending Pacific Therapy Management.

Axiom Health Care
We designed the hybrid in-house contract therapy model over a decade ago. As predicted, SNFs needed a better solution as reimbursements changed and pressures mounted for expense control. We’re expanding and offering PTM as a collaborative relationship with partners you already trust and know. Your facility deserves an innovative solution to keep your revenues without losing the service delivery you’ve come to expect from therapy providers.

Pricing and Fees
The PTM model is designed around a simple management fee to carry out the daily operations of your therapy program. We do not share in your reimbursements for any payer.
Management Fee:
PTM charges a small flat monthly rate based on your licensed bed count. And no need for concern if your facility is running far below licensed capacity. We work on a pricing formula which takes your last 12 months ADC into account.
WHY CHARGE BY BED COUNT?
The PTM model is more than a contract vendor who appears only to treat caseload. We work with your entire facility across all pay sources and programs. Ensuring you have proper input into your various committees and oversight teams. Screening, assessing, and ensuring total facility coverage.

Frequently asked questions
PTM charges a flat monthly rate per facility, calculated based on licensed beds. The rates are available with a call to our inquiry team. Staffing is migrated to your payroll while PTM continues to oversee 100% of daily workflow. The rate is far less than what you could hire an experienced rehab director to run your highly sensitive and nuanced therapy program.
No additional fees. PTM offers a transparent fixed rate to perform the vast amount of service items. We are able to offer our service at lower costs as we gain efficiency across multiple locations.
We cannot indemnify you for denied claims - as PTM receives $0 reimbursements or shared revenues from your facility. With that said, we stand behind our assurance processes and documentation practices. All PTM therapy follows a rigorous and well tested documentation process - geared toward producing solid, defensible records.
No, you don't have to worry about staffing or recruiting. PTM will recruit, hire, train, and oversee each member of your therapy team. You simply process their payroll with the hours and data we provide - and we handle 100% of your department operations.
PTM utilizes a decade long tested model of the treating Rehab Director. The director is more or less the communicator of the department and is allowed productivity room to attend meetings and conferences for the cohesion of care in the facility. PTM handles the oversight and does provide a regional director to work weekly (daily if necessary) with the Rehab Director in each location.
PTM provides a well trained and experienced team of documentation experts. When a denial, ADR, Probe, or letter arrives from any payor, PTM will put the documentation together and assist the facility with assembling the package. Communication channels are provided to help tell the story of care.
Absolutely! PTM has learned that developing caseload and programs is critical in creating the best possible outcomes for each resident on caseload. Whether we employ standard assessment and care items, or we develop a facility specific plan based on your acuity, speciality, or market opportunity -- PTM is with you in the revenue growth journey.
This is a multifaceted question we receive over and over. If you are currently in a shared revenue contract with your therapy provider, we typically see 40 - 45% savings simply by switching to or hybrid in-house model. Some cases are lower while others are higher.
If you are switching between managed model of therapy providers, it will depend upon the service delivery levels. We often point these questions to the revenue building aspect of PTM. Dollar for dollar, PTM's model may be slightly higher than competitors, but we've employed this model for more than a decade - and have helped many providers lower costs and return revenue back to their operation.
