CORF ORF OPT

The purpose of Comprehensive Outpatient Rehabilitation Facility (CORF) is to permit the beneficiary to receive multidisciplinary rehabilitation services at a single, freestanding location in a coordinated fashion.

A CORF is defined as a facility that is primarily engaged in providing diagnostic, therapeutic, and restorative services to outpatients for the rehabilitation of the injured and disabled or to patients recovering from illness. The CORF must provide a comprehensive, coordinated, skilled rehabilitation program for its patients that include, at a minimum, CORF physicians’ services, physical therapy services, and social or psychological services.  In general, all services must be furnished on the premises of the CORF. The only exceptions are the home evaluation, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech-language pathology services.

An Outpatient Rehabilitation Facility (ORF) is a freestanding facility that provides outpatient physical therapy, occupational therapy, or speech-language pathology services under a written plan of treatment.  These facilities furnish services in a team environment and in accordance with a “multidisciplinary” program.
