PDPM (Patient Driven Payment Model) is a new case-mix classification system that went into effective October 1, 2019. This model classifies patients into five components: physical therapy (PT), occupational therapy (OT), speech language therapy (SLP), non-therapy ancillary (NTA), and nursing; for purposes of providing a single payment based on the sum of these classifications and maintains a per diem adjustment factor for PT, OT, and NTA components. PDPM has a combined 25 percent limit on concurrent therapy and group therapy for each discipline of therapy provided.
