For Hospitals & Rehab Units
A Coverage Partner Built Around Your Unit's Needs
Fadoul Medical works directly with inpatient rehabilitation facilities across Georgia to provide consistent, dual-specialty physician coverage — structured to fit your unit's workflow, regulatory requirements, and patient population.
How We Work
The Partnership Model
Fadoul Medical operates as a contracted physician coverage partner — not a staffing agency, not a locum arrangement. We build ongoing relationships with the units we serve, becoming a consistent presence that your staff, therapists, and case managers can rely on.
Contracted coverage relationship
We work under a direct contract with your facility, establishing clear expectations for coverage hours, rounding schedules, documentation standards, and communication protocols.
Consistent physician presence
Unlike locum or rotating coverage, Fadoul Medical provides a consistent physician — the same face your team sees every day, building continuity of care and institutional familiarity.
Integrated with your care team
We work within your existing workflows — participating in IDT conferences, coordinating with therapy and nursing leadership, and aligning documentation with your unit's systems.
Flexible coverage structure
Coverage arrangements are tailored to your unit's size, census, and existing physician resources. We can provide full coverage or supplement existing medical staff.
Coverage Logistics

Physician rounds on all rehabilitation patients each day, with documentation completed same-day.

Metrics covered
60% Rule compliance
Clinical decision-making and documentation that supports appropriate patient selection and compliance with the CMS 60% rule for qualifying conditions.
Functional Independence Measure (FIM)
Accurate, timely FIM scoring at admission and discharge, supporting quality reporting and outcomes benchmarking.
IRF-PAI documentation
Complete and accurate Inpatient Rehabilitation Facility — Patient Assessment Instrument documentation, submitted within CMS deadlines.
Therapy intensity documentation
Physician documentation supporting the required intensity of therapy standards — 3 hours per day, 5 days per week — and medical necessity for any exceptions.
Readmission reduction
Active medical management during the rehabilitation stay to reduce avoidable acute transfers and readmissions — a key quality and financial metric for IRFs.
Discharge to community
Goal-oriented discharge planning that supports community discharge rates — a primary IRF quality measure tracked by CMS.
Quality & Compliance
IRF Quality Metrics We Support
CMS Inpatient Rehabilitation Facility quality reporting requirements place significant documentation and clinical demands on the physician of record. Fadoul Medical's coverage is built around these requirements — not as an afterthought, but as a core part of how we practice.
