Certification of the facility mandates three basic services be offered.

• Medical services (provided by an MD or a DO)
• Physical Therapy (PT)
• one of either Social Services, or Psychological counseling.

 Additional services offered may be:

• Occupational Therapy (OT)
• Speech Therapy (ST)
• Respiratory Therapy (RT)
• Nursing Services      
• DME (Durable Medical Equipment)
• Drugs and Biologicals

 All services and therapies offered must be provided by a doctor, clinician or therapist, licensed to practice in the state in which the facility operates. Services offered in addition to the three mandated services are determined by factors having to do with local need, demand, and availability. Any additional services offered are done so at the sole determination of the facility administration and are not mandated under the regulations of the program. A CORFs ability to offer to the local community this multitude of services (as may be needed) and bill Medicare Part A under a single provider number sets this program apart from all other single-service programs. No other program lets the facility custom tailor the services provided to the needs of the community and submit billing under a single provider number.
