The physician your patients already need.
Cercle Health brings board-certified Physiatrists to skilled nursing facilities across New York — at no cost to the facility. In-person across NYC and Long Island. Via telemedicine for upstate New York.
Reach. Reliability. Results.
Most SNF patients have pain, functional decline, or both. PM&R Physicians (or Physiatrists) are the only specialists trained to address both at once — without defaulting to opioids or unnecessary procedures.
A board-certified physiatrist sees your most complex residents — wherever your facility is. In person across the New York metro area. Via telemedicine throughout upstate New York. No recruitment. No waiting.
The same physician. A consistent schedule. Integrated with your interdisciplinary team. Your staff knows who's coming, when they're coming, and how to reach them.
Physiatrists document complexity in ways that survive audit, support PDPM-specific ICD-10 coding, and manage pain without defaulting to opioids. Clinical value from the first visit.
Built for the complexity of skilled nursing.
We work exclusively in SNFs. No hospital rotations. No divided attention. Every protocol, every workflow, every physician — designed for this setting.

FAQs
Find answers to commonly asked questions about physiatry, pain management, and Cercle Health's services.
Physiatry, also known as physical medicine and rehabilitation, is a medical specialty that focuses on restoring and improving function and quality of life for individuals with physical impairments or disabilities.
A board-certified physiatrist evaluates your most complex residents on a consistent, scheduled basis — in person if you're in the New York metro area, via telemedicine if you're upstate. We conduct pain evaluations, functional assessments, and rehabilitation consultations. Between scheduled visits, your staff can reach a Cercle physician directly for urgent questions.
Correct. PM&R physician services are excluded from SNF consolidated billing under Medicare. Cercle bills Medicare Part B and Medicare Advantage directly — never the facility. There is no contract fee, no administrative charge, and no cost passed to residents.
Yes. We work within your existing documentation workflow and don't require any new software or IT setup on your end. Our physicians use your EHR for notes and referrals. Most facilities are operational within a few weeks of the initial conversation.
A board-certified physiatrist brings diagnostic authority, prescriptive range, and documentation depth that NPs cannot match in complex cases. They can order and interpret diagnostics, manage complex medication regimens, and produce notes that hold up under payer scrutiny. For your highest-acuity residents, the distinction is clinically meaningful — and for PDPM, the specificity of physician documentation often directly affects case mix.
