Distinct Part Pediatric Subacute (DP/PSA) and Freestanding Pediatric Subacute (FS/PSA) Facilities

Reimbursement for Pediatric Subacute Care Services is based on a model, since historical cost data are currently not available. Peer groups are based on whether the subacute unit is part of a hospital-based nursing facility or a freestanding nursing facility. Rates also differ according to whether the patient is ventilator dependent or not.
