Post-Acute Care

Post-acute care (PAC) includes rehabilitation or palliative services that beneficiaries receive after, or in some cases instead of, a stay in an acute care hospital. Depending on the intensity of care the patient requires, treatment may include a stay in a facility, ongoing outpatient therapy, or care provided at home. The Commission analyzes trends in care and spending in PAC settings and makes recommendations to the Congress and the Medicare program.
