In-Home Outpatient PT Reduces Costs By 52% Compared To Traditional Home Health Services

A new study from the on-demand physical therapy company Luna found that in-home outpatient PT models can reduce costs by 52% compared to traditional home health services for total knee and hip replacements. Home health has a very important value, “They have lots of different services: physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech, nursing, etc. Whereas Luna primarily delivers physical therapy.  Home health care has built a reputation as a high-quality and low-cost setting, with hip and knee patients traditionally a core part of an agency’s business. Luna and Hoag’s findings could suggest a larger role for outpatient PT models in the future, which could take some hip and knee patients away from the home health field. Among the other highlights of the study, HOI and Luna found that patients that received in-home outpatient PT completed 4.3 visits less compared to the home health cohort. They also had a 28% lower hospital readmission rate, according to the study.
