Opmed.ai’s Newly Launched AI-led Rehabilitation Offering Achieves 95% Reimbursement Approval Rate
Opmed.ai’s AI technology delivered a 95% reimbursement approval rate with inpatient rehabilitation facilities, while initial results showed patient wait times dropping by more than 90%, a 12% increase in billable hours, and a 13% improvement in treatment value.
When operational barriers in healthcare are addressed, patients experience better healthcare outcomes while therapists and healthcare providers gain more time to deliver value-based care. Seeking to unlock these gains across more care settings, Opmed.ai, a healthcare optimization company transforming how hospitals and care centers manage capacity, scheduling, and resources, launched a brand new solution for rehabilitation centers. Leveraging AI and network science, the flagship solution analyses billions of permutations to uncover hidden efficiency, reduce waste, and improve patient outcomes across operating rooms, rehabilitation centers, and other complex clinical environments.
Opmed.ai was co-founded by Dr. Mor Brokman Meltzer, Avi Paz, and Prof. Baruch Barzel. The company is backed by NFX, Grove Ventures, Secret Chord Ventures, Sir Ronald Cohen, and Unbox Ventures, and partners with leading institutions, including Mayo Clinic and Geisinger, to redefine operational excellence in healthcare.
Why this solution matters
Inpatient rehabilitation facilities face scheduling error rates of 20–30%, driving up compliance risks and reimbursement denials, according to a study that found 175 of 220 IRF stays failed Medicare requirements. Staffing shortages, high demand, and administrative overload further strain already slim margins. Despite these challenges, most rehabilitation centers continue relying on manual scheduling workflows that require 4–5 hours a day, resulting in constant reshuffling, missed sessions, and idle hours that reduce revenue and harm patient outcomes.
How Opmed.ai’s platform is a game changer
Opmed.ai’s rehabilitation platform leverages advanced AI to balance patient availability, therapist schedules, insurance rules, continuity of care, and individualized treatment plans simultaneously to generate the most effective schedule possible. Tested across rehabilitation centers in the U.S. and abroad, the platform delivered significant results, increasing billable hours and improving treatment value by double digits. It reduced patient wait times, strengthened continuity of care with the same primary therapist, and ensured inpatient treatments complied with CMS requirements for Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement.
This is an inflection point for the rehabilitation sector.
Significant Results
The platform achieved:
• 95% reimbursement approval rate with inpatient rehabilitation facilities
• 90% reduction in patient wait times
• 12% increase in billable hours
• 13% improvement in treatment value
• 29% improvement in provider utilization
“This is an inflection point for the rehabilitation sector,” said Dr. Mor Brokman Meltzer, Co-Founder and CEO of Opmed.ai. “Rehabilitation centers are under enormous pressure to do more with less, yet they’re still constrained by scheduling systems that weren’t built for their complexity.”
“We were amazed by how quickly the platform adapted to our real-world constraints,” said Dr. Laura Mraz, founder of Three Birds One Mission. “In a short period of time, we saw a meaningful improvement in provider scheduling and efficiency, allowing our teams to focus more on delivering care rather than managing logistics. It’s been a true game-changer for rehabilitation operations”.
Opmed.ai and Three Birds One Mission jointly presented results, including the 29% provider utilization improvement, at the 2025 American Congress of Rehabilitation Medicine.
