The rehabilitation therapy industry in the U.S. consists of about 30,000 establishments with combined annual revenues of approximately $20 billion. The industry is highly fragmented, with the top 50 companies accounting for less than 25% of total revenue.
More specifically, the outpatient rehabilitation industry accounts for nearly $5 billion of Medicare spending in the U.S. This figure has been rising steadily, and has more than doubled since 2000.
The three primary classifications within outpatient rehabilitation are physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech language pathology.
