Odyssey Rehabilitation’s policy is to not rotate our Clinical Manager and/or therapy staff.  Once all needs of your facility are met our staff would have the opportunity to assist elsewhere.

Yes.  In addition, Odyssey Rehabilitation has a superior Corporate Compliance Department that will appeal all levels of denials.  Odyssey Rehabilitation will work effectively with your facility to collect, submit, track and maintain electronic copies of all requested documents.

Odyssey Rehabilitation utilizes Therapute which is a web-based  program and was one of the first rehab products designed as a hosted and centralized database for its EMR. Therapute can be interfaced with many programs utilized by nursing facilities.

Odyssey Rehabilitation is a unique therapy provider in that we do not have “productivity standards” that are strictly enforced on our therapists.  Instead, we focus on “efficiency” as we understand the importance of making sure that all  community and resident needs are met, that quality care is provided, programs are established that incorporate best practice standards, and that documentation that justifies the medical necessity of services is completed in a timely fashion

Odyssey Rehabilitation has never been investigated, or fined, by any state, local, or federal agency.

Odyssey Rehabilitation provides our clients with a Therapy Services Report on a monthly or quarterly basis based on client preference.  This report includes average length of stay, RUG categories, discharge destinations, outcomes, therapy’s financial impact on facility and progress toward mutually agreed upon goals.

Odyssey Rehabilitation’s goal is to become a true partner with our client facilities.  Our Clinical Manager and therapy staff will be available to participate in internal and external marketing events, activities and promotions.  In addition, Odyssey Rehabilitation will work with your facility representative to create promotional materials that market the department appropriately.

One of the main differences with Odyssey Rehab is our investment in Program Development.  We look at programming as a way to bridge the gap between residents being discharged from therapy services and acclimating back to their daily routine.  After an analysis of the quality of care triggers, Odyssey will meet with facility leadership to recommend the most appropriate programs to address the deficits reported.  Next, Odyssey will collaborate with center staff to determine which department would be best suited to follow through with therapy program recommendations.  Upon completion of In-services to facility personnel and training of the department initiating the program, Odyssey will monitor the facility driven plan routinely for each participating resident’s improvement or decline and re-evaluate as appropriate.  This unique approach to programming greatly mitigates the resident’s likely hood of experiencing avoidable decline as well as assisting with gains towards independence and quality of life.

Second, with the ever changing Medicare Rules and Regulations, coupled with the increasing frequency of audits by Recovery Audit Contractors (RACs) and Medicare Audit Contractors (MACs), it is more important than ever to have an efficient appeals policy and procedure plan in place to mitigate denials.  Odyssey Rehabilitation’s Corporate Compliance Team is equipped to handle all aspects of the appeals process.  We have effective tracking and monitoring systems which allows timely submission of all requested documents to insurance carriers.  Odyssey Rehab will follow through with the entire appeals process regardless of payer source.  This would include items such as analyzing claim forms for coding errors, exhausting all levels of appeals and providing electronic versions of requested documents to the facility for tracking purposes.  Odyssey will indemnify our clients after all available administrative and/or judicial appeals have been exhausted by the facility and/or Odyssey Rehabilitation.

Odyssey Rehabilitation has had a Corporate Compliance Policy in place since 2012, but saw the need for establishing a more structured program in January of that same year, leading to a the development of a Corporate Compliance Team, consisting of a Chief Compliance Officer, a Corporate Compliance Specialist, and a Corporate Compliance Assistant.  This enabled us to train and educate the Compliance Team, in order for them to be able to operate seamlessly, prior to the mandated deadline of March 2013, put in place by the Secretary of HHS, working jointly with OIG.   We have a formal program, with requirements that specifically apply to the corporate, facility, and staff level management of multi-unit nursing homes.
