The standards established by Jimmo v Sebelius apply to four health care settings. They include:
1. Skilled Nursing Facility,
2. Home Health, and,
3. Outpatient Therapy (PT, SLP/ST, OT)
4. Inpatient Rehabilitation Hospital (Facility) (IRF)
Skilled maintenance therapies and nursing are covered by Medicare, and a claim should never be denied because the patient cannot be expected to return to prior level of functioning or cannot achieve complete independence in self-care.
