Genesis Healthcare expects to see its annual operating costs reduced by $30 million under the newly implemented Patient Driven Payment Model, CEO George Hager Jr. said in November.

The savings will come as the company focuses more on group and concurrent therapy services. It will also, however, come at the cost of therapy jobs — a point of concern for many therapists amid the shift to PDPM. 

“What you’ll find there is if you provide therapy with more efficient modalities, you need less therapy resources,” Hager said.
