Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation Encompass Health Corporation, incorporated in Delaware in 1984, including its subsidiaries, is a leading provider of post-acute healthcare services, offering both facility-based and home-based patient services in 42 states and Puerto Rico through its network of inpatient rehabilitation hospitals, home health agencies, and hospice agencies. We manage our operations and disclose financial information using two reportable segments: (1) inpatient rehabilitation and (2) home health and hospice. See also Note 11, Segment Reporting . The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Encompass Health Corporation and Subsidiaries should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes contained in Encompass Health’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on February 26, 2021 (the “2020 Form 10‑K”). The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC applicable to interim financial information. Certain information and note disclosures included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America have been omitted in these interim statements, as allowed by such SEC rules and regulations. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 has been derived from audited financial statements, but it does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. However, we believe the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The unaudited results of operations for the interim periods shown in these financial statements are not necessarily indicative of operating results for the entire year. In our opinion, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements recognize all adjustments of a normal recurring nature considered necessary to fairly state the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for each interim period presented. Supplemental Noncash Investing and Financing Items — Our noncash investing and financing activities related to increases in property and equipment additions under financing arrangements were $46.6 million and $4.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. In addition, our noncash investing activities related to increases in our accrued purchases of property and equipment were $17.0 million and $0.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Net Operating Revenues — Our Net operating revenues disaggregated by payor source and segment are as follows (in millions): Inpatient Rehabilitation Home Health and Hospice Consolidated Three Months Ended June 30, Three Months Ended June 30, Three Months Ended June 30, 2021 2020 2021 2020 2021 2020 Medicare $ 650.8 $ 502.9 $ 234.9 $ 204.1 $ 885.7 $ 707.0 Medicare Advantage 153.6 166.1 29.9 29.2 183.5 195.3 Managed care 114.7 88.4 16.6 11.5 131.3 99.9 Medicaid 41.8 34.7 4.2 4.1 46.0 38.8 Other third-party payors 11.0 9.3 — — 11.0 9.3 Workers’ compensation 5.2 4.2 — 0.3 5.2 4.5 Patients 4.3 4.2 0.3 0.2 4.6 4.4 Other income 20.2 14.7 0.2 0.2 20.4 14.9 Total $ 1,001.6 $ 824.5 $ 286.1 $ 249.6 $ 1,287.7 $ 1,074.1 Inpatient Rehabilitation Home Health and Hospice Consolidated Six Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 2020 2021 2020 2021 2020 Medicare $ 1,265.3 $ 1,145.9 $ 458.8 $ 430.4 $ 1,724.1 $ 1,576.3 Medicare Advantage 312.0 277.0 57.9 58.7 369.9 335.7 Managed care 226.9 178.3 30.9 23.5 257.8 201.8 Medicaid 80.8 65.2 8.0 8.4 88.8 73.6 Other third-party payors 23.1 20.3 — — 23.1 20.3 Workers’ compensation 10.9 11.1 0.1 0.5 11.0 11.6 Patients 9.2 9.7 0.5 0.6 9.7 10.3 Other income 33.3 26.2 0.4 0.3 33.7 26.5 Total $ 1,961.5 $ 1,733.7 $ 556.6 $ 522.4 $ 2,518.1 $ 2,256.1 See Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies , to the consolidated financial statements accompanying the 2020 Form 10-K for our policy related to Net operating revenues . Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements — In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.” The standard removes certain exceptions to the general principles of ASC 740 and simplifies other areas such as accounting for outside basis differences of equity method investments. Either prospective or retrospective transition of this standard is dependent upon the specific amendments. The new guidance was effective for us beginning January 1, 2021. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact to our condensed consolidated financial statements. We do not believe any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards will have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract]
Business Combinations	Business Combinations Inpatient Rehabilitation During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we completed the following inpatient rehabilitation acquisitions, none of which were individually material to our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. Each acquisition was made to enhance our position and ability to provide inpatient rehabilitation services to patients in the applicable geographic areas. • In April 2021, we acquired 51% of the operations of a 14-bed inpatient rehabilitation unit in San Angelo, Texas when Shannon Medical contributed those operations to our existing joint venture entity. • In June 2021, we acquired 75% of the operations of a 16-bed inpatient rehabilitation unit in McKees Rocks, Pennsylvania through our existing joint venture with Heritage Valley Health System, Inc. The acquisition was funded using cash on hand. The cash payment of $1.1 million shown in the table below occurred in July 2021. We accounted for these transactions under the acquisition method of accounting and reported the results of operations of the acquired hospitals from its respective date of acquisition. Assets acquired were recorded at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. Estimated fair values were based on various valuation methodologies including: an income approach using primarily discounted cash flow techniques for the noncompete intangible assets and an income approach utilizing the relief from royalty method for the trade name intangible asset. The aforementioned income methods utilize management’s estimates of future operating results and cash flows discounted using a weighted-average cost of capital that reflects market participant assumptions. The excess of the fair value of the consideration conveyed over the fair value of the assets acquired was recorded as goodwill. The goodwill reflects our expectations of our ability to gain access to and penetrate the acquired hospital’s historical patient base and the benefits of being able to leverage operational efficiencies with favorable growth opportunities based on positive demographic trends in this market. None of the goodwill recorded as a result from these transactions is deductible for federal income tax purposes. The fair value of the assets acquired at the acquisition date were as follows (in millions): Identifiable intangible assets: Noncompete agreement (useful life of 3 years) $ 0.4 Trade name (useful life of 20 years) 0.3 Goodwill 3.5 Other long-term assets 0.1 Total assets acquired $ 4.3 Information regarding the net cash paid for the inpatient rehabilitation acquisitions during each period presented is as follows (in millions): Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 2020 2021 2020 Fair value of assets acquired $ 0.8 $ 1.4 $ 0.8 $ 1.7 Goodwill 3.5 6.6 3.5 9.2 Fair value of noncontrolling interest owned by joint venture partner (3.2) (8.0) (3.2) (10.9) Net cash paid for acquisitions $ 1.1 $ — $ 1.1 $ — Home Health and Hospice On June 1, 2021, we completed the acquisition of the home health and hospice assets of Frontier Home Health and Hospice (“Frontier”) in Alaska, Colorado, Montana, Washington, and Wyoming. The Frontier acquisition included the purchase of a 50% equity interest in the Heart of the Rockies Home Health joint venture and a 90% equity interest in the Hospice of Southwest Montana joint venture (inclusive of an additional 40% equity interest purchased for approximately $4 million). On the acquisition date, nine home health and eleven hospice locations became part of our national network of home health and hospice locations. This acquisition was made to expand our existing presence in Colorado and Wyoming and extend our services to Alaska, Montana and Washington. We funded this transaction using cash on hand and borrowings under our revolving credit facility. We accounted for this transaction under the acquisition method of accounting and reported the results of operations of Frontier from its date of acquisition. Assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and noncontrolling interests were recorded at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. Estimated fair values were based on various valuation methodologies including: replacement cost and continued use methods for property and equipment; an income approach using primarily discounted cash flow techniques for the noncompete and license intangible assets; an income approach utilizing the relief-from-royalty method for the trade name intangible asset; an income approach utilizing the excess earnings method for the certificates of need; and present value of remaining lease payments for leases. The aforementioned income methods utilize management’s estimates of future operating results and cash flows discounted using a weighted average cost of capital that reflects market participant assumptions. For all other assets and liabilities, the fair value was assumed to represent carrying value due to their short maturities. The excess of the fair value of the consideration conveyed over the fair value of the net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill. All goodwill recorded reflects our expectations of favorable growth opportunities in the home health and hospice markets based on positive demographic trends. All of the goodwill recorded as a result of this transaction is deductible for federal income tax purposes. The fair values recorded were based upon a preliminary valuation.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Variable Interest Entities	Variable Interest Entities As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we consolidated ten and nine, respectively, limited partnership-like entities that are variable interest entities (“VIEs”) and of which we are the primary beneficiary. Our ownership percentages in these entities range from 50.0% to 90.0% as of June 30, 2021. Through partnership and management agreements with or governing each of these entities, we manage all of these entities and handle all day-to-day operating decisions. Accordingly, we have the decision making power over the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of our VIEs and an obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. These decisions and significant activities include, but are not limited to, marketing efforts, oversight of patient admissions, medical training, nurse and therapist scheduling, provision of healthcare services, billing, collections, and creation and maintenance of medical records. The terms of the agreements governing each of our VIEs prohibit us from using the assets of each VIE to satisfy the obligations of other entities. The carrying amounts and classifications of the consolidated VIEs’ assets and liabilities, which are included in our condensed consolidated balance sheet, are as follows (in millions): June 30, 2021 December 31, 2020 Assets Current assets: Cash and cash equivalents $ 0.8 $ 0.1 Accounts receivable 34.1 33.1 Other current assets 10.0 8.6 Total current assets 44.9 41.8 Property and equipment, net 117.4 121.1 Operating lease right-of-use assets 4.4 4.7 Goodwill 29.4 19.2 Intangible assets, net 3.6 3.3 Other long-term assets 31.1 31.1 Total assets $ 230.8 $ 221.2 Liabilities Current liabilities: Current portion of long-term debt $ 0.9 $ 0.9 Current operating lease liabilities 1.6 1.5 Accounts payable 6.9 6.1 Accrued expenses and other current liabilities 23.3 23.0 Total current liabilities 32.7 31.5 Long-term debt, net of current portion 9.1 9.6 Long-term operating lease liabilities 2.9 3.3 Other long-term liabilities 2.4 2.4 Total liabilities $ 47.1 $ 46.8

Pursuant to the terms of the 2023 Notes, these optional redemptions were made at a price of par. As a result of these redemptions, we recorded an aggregate $1.0 million Loss on early extinguishment of debt in the second quarter of 2021.

(“EHHI”). In the acquisition, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of EHHI, other than equity interests contributed to Encompass Health Home Health Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”), a subsidiary of Encompass Health and an indirect parent of EHHI, by certain sellers in exchange for shares of common stock of Holdings. Those sellers were members of EHHI management, and they contributed a portion of their shares of common stock of EHHI, valued at approximately $64 million on the acquisition date, in exchange for approximately 16.7% of the outstanding shares of common stock of Holdings. At any time after December 31, 2017, each management investor had the right (but not the obligation) to have his or her shares of Holdings stock repurchased by Encompass Health for a cash purchase price per share equal to the fair value. In January 2020, we received exercise notices, representing approximately 4.3% of the outstanding shares of the common stock of Holdings. On February 18, 2020, Encompass Health settled the acquisition of those shares upon payment of approximately $162 million in cash. Upon settlement of these exercises, approximately $46 million of the shares of Holdings held by two management investors remained outstanding. On February 20, 2020, Encompass Health entered into exchange agreements (each, an “Exchange Agreement”) with these two management investors, pursuant to which they had the right to exchange all of the remaining shares of Holdings held by them for shares of common stock of Encompass Health (the “EHC Shares”). Each of the Exchange Agreements provided that the management investor must deliver a written exchange notice (an “Exchange Notice”) to Encompass Health in order to exchange his or her remaining shares of Holdings for EHC Shares. Each Exchange Agreement further provided that the number of EHC Shares to be delivered to the management investor was to be determined by dividing the fair value of the shares of Holdings held by the management investor on the date of the Exchange Agreement by the last reported sales price of Encompass Health’s common stock on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) on the date of delivery of the Exchange Notice. On February 20, 2020, Encompass Health received an Exchange Notice from each of the management investors. Based on the last sales price of Encompass Health’s common stock on the NYSE on February 20, 2020, Encompass Health delivered an aggregate 560,957 EHC Shares to the management investors. The total number of EHC Shares issued pursuant to the exchange agreements on March 6, 2020 represented less than 0.6% of the outstanding shares of Encompass Health common stock. Encompass Health issued the EHC Shares from its treasury shares. Encompass Health now owns 100% of Holdings and EHHI. See also Note 6, Fair Value Measurements .

There are assets and liabilities that are not required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. However, these assets may be recorded at fair value as a result of impairment charges or other adjustments made to the carrying value of the applicable assets. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020, we did not record any material gains or losses related to these assets. As discussed in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies , “Fair Value Measurements,” to the consolidated financial statements accompanying the 2020 Form 10‑K, the carrying value equals fair value for our financial instruments that are not included in the table below and are classified as current in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Share-based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]
Share-Based Payments	Share-Based Payments During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we issued a total of 0.5 million restricted stock awards to members of our management team and our board of directors. Approximately 0.2 million of these awards contain only a service condition, while the remainder contain both a service and a performance condition. For the awards that include a performance condition, the number of shares that will ultimately be granted to employees may vary based on the Company’s performance during the applicable two year performance measurement period. Additionally, we granted 0.1 million stock options to members of our management team. The fair value of these awards and options was determined using the policies described in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies , and Note 14, Share-Based Payments , to the consolidated financial statements accompanying the 2020 Form 10‑K. In conjunction with the EHHI acquisition discussed in Note 5, Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests , we granted stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) based on Holdings common stock to certain members of EHHI management at closing. In January 2020, members of the management team exercised the remaining SARs, and in February 2020, we settled those awards upon payment of approximately $101 million in cash.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Contingencies and Other Commitments	Contingencies and Other Commitments We operate in a highly regulated industry in which healthcare providers are routinely subject to litigation. As a result, various lawsuits, claims, and legal and regulatory proceedings have been and can be expected to be instituted or asserted against us. The resolution of any such lawsuits, claims, or legal and regulatory proceedings could materially and adversely affect our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in a given period. Nichols Litigation— We were named as a defendant in a lawsuit filed March 28, 2003 by several individual stockholders in the Circuit Court of Jefferson County, Alabama, captioned Nichols v. HealthSouth Corp . In July 2019, we entered into settlement agreements with all but one plaintiff and paid those settling plaintiffs an aggregate amount of cash less than $0.1 million. The remaining plaintiff alleged that we, some of our former officers, and our former investment bank engaged in a scheme to overstate and misrepresent our earnings and financial position. The plaintiff sought compensatory and punitive damages. On June 9, 2021, the trial court granted our renewed motion for summary judgment on all of the plaintiff’s claims. The plaintiff did not appeal, so the matter has concluded. The conclusion of this matter did not have any impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. Other Matters— The False Claims Act allows private citizens, called “relators,” to institute civil proceedings on behalf of the United States alleging violations of the False Claims Act. These lawsuits, also known as “whistleblower” or “ qui tam ” actions, can involve significant monetary damages, fines, attorneys’ fees and the award of bounties to the relators who successfully prosecute or bring these suits to the government. Qui tam cases are sealed at the time of filing, which means knowledge of the information contained in the complaint typically is limited to the relator, the federal government, and the presiding court. The defendant in a qui tam action may remain unaware of the existence of a sealed complaint for years. While the complaint is under seal, the government reviews the merits of the case and may conduct a broad investigation and seek discovery from the defendant and other parties before deciding whether to intervene in the case and take the lead on litigating the claims. The court lifts the seal when the government makes its decision on whether to intervene. If the government decides not to intervene, the relator may elect to continue to pursue the lawsuit individually on behalf of the government. It is possible that qui tam lawsuits have been filed against us, which suits remain under seal, or that we are unaware of such filings or precluded by existing law or court order from discussing or disclosing the filing of such suits. We may be subject to liability under one or more undisclosed qui tam cases brought pursuant to the False Claims Act. It is our obligation as a participant in Medicare and other federal healthcare programs to routinely conduct audits and reviews of the accuracy of our billing systems and other regulatory compliance matters. As a result of these reviews, we have made, and will continue to make, disclosures to the United States Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services relating to amounts we suspect represent over-payments from these programs, whether due to inaccurate billing or otherwise. Some of these disclosures have resulted in, or may result in, Encompass Health refunding amounts to Medicare or other federal healthcare programs.

Segment Reporting

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment Reporting	Segment Reporting Our internal financial reporting and management structure is focused on the major types of services provided by Encompass Health. We manage our operations using two operating segments which are also our reportable segments: (1) inpatient rehabilitation and (2) home health and hospice. These reportable operating segments are consistent with information used by our chief executive officer, who is our chief operating decision maker, to assess performance and allocate resources. The following is a brief description of our reportable segments: • Inpatient Rehabilitation - Our national network of inpatient rehabilitation hospitals stretches across 35 states and Puerto Rico, with a concentration of hospitals in the eastern half of the United States and Texas. As of June 30, 2021, we operate 140 inpatient rehabilitation hospitals. We are the sole owner of 87 of these hospitals. We retain 50.0% to 97.5% ownership in the remaining 53 jointly owned hospitals. In addition, we manage four inpatient rehabilitation units through management contracts. We provide specialized rehabilitative treatment on both an inpatient and outpatient basis. Our inpatient rehabilitation hospitals provide a higher level of rehabilitative care to patients who are recovering from conditions such as stroke and other neurological disorders, cardiac and pulmonary conditions, brain and spinal cord injuries, complex orthopedic conditions, and amputations. • Home Health and Hospice - As of June 30, 2021, we provide home health services in 249 locations and hospice services in 94 locations across 34 states with concentrations in the southern half of the United States. In addition, one of these home health locations operates as a joint venture which we account for using the equity method of accounting. We are the sole owner of 334 of these locations. We retain 50.0% to 90.0% ownership in the remaining nine jointly owned locations. Our home health services include a comprehensive range of Medicare-certified home nursing services to adult patients in need of care. These services include, among others, skilled nursing, physical, occupational, and speech therapy, medical social work, and home health aide services. Our hospice services include in-home services to terminally ill patients and their families to address patients’ physical needs, including pain control and symptom management, and to provide emotional and spiritual support. The accounting policies of our reportable segments are the same as those described in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies , to the consolidated financial statements accompanying the 2020 Form 10‑K. All revenues for our services are generated through external customers. See Note 1, Basis of Presentation , “Net Operating Revenues,” for the disaggregation of our revenues. No corporate overhead is allocated to either of our reportable segments. Our chief operating decision maker evaluates the performance of our segments and allocates resources to them based on adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“Segment Adjusted EBITDA”). Selected financial information for our reportable segments is as follows (in millions): Inpatient Rehabilitation Home Health and Hospice Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 2020 2021 2020 2021 2020 2021 2020 Net operating revenues $ 1,001.6 $ 824.5 $ 1,961.5 $ 1,733.7 $ 286.1 $ 249.6 $ 556.6 $ 522.4 Operating expenses: Inpatient rehabilitation: Salaries and benefits 515.9 451.4 1,017.8 933.7 — — — — Other operating expenses 147.5 124.3 287.5 259.0 — — — — Supplies 44.1 42.0 89.3 81.6 — — — — Occupancy costs 15.0 15.4 30.1 30.7 — — — — Home health and hospice: Cost of service (excluding depreciation and amortization) — — — — 122.6 136.7 240.7 267.6 Support and overhead costs — — — — 103.1 98.3 204.5 198.5 722.5 633.1 1,424.7 1,305.0 225.7 235.0 445.2 466.1 Other income (2.3) (3.4) (3.8) (1.8) (1.6) — (1.6) — Equity in net income of nonconsolidated affiliates (0.8) (0.6) (1.6) (1.2) (0.2) (0.1) (0.4) (0.3) Noncontrolling interests 28.2 15.1 53.3 35.9 0.5 (0.3) 0.9 0.6 Segment Adjusted EBITDA $ 254.0 $ 180.3 $ 488.9 $ 395.8 $ 61.7 $ 15.0 $ 112.5 $ 56.0 Capital expenditures $ 120.4 $ 88.9 $ 220.2 $ 172.2 $ 2.2 $ 0.6 $ 3.1 $ 2.1 Segment reconciliations (in millions): Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 2020 2021 2020 Total Segment Adjusted EBITDA $ 315.7 $ 195.3 $ 601.4 $ 451.8 General and administrative expenses (54.2) (43.0) (92.8) (78.6) Depreciation and amortization (63.4) (60.7) (125.9) (119.5) Loss on disposal or impairment of assets (2.9) (3.0) (2.8) (3.1) Government, class action, and related settlements — — — (2.8) Loss on early extinguishment of debt (1.0) — (1.0) — Interest expense and amortization of debt discounts and fees (41.8) (45.8) (84.6) (89.0) Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests 28.7 14.8 54.2 36.5 Change in fair market value of equity securities 0.7 2.4 0.6 (0.1) Gain on consolidation of joint venture formerly accounted for under the equity method of accounting — — — 2.2 Payroll taxes on SARs exercise — — — (1.5) Income from continuing operations before income tax expense $ 181.8 $ 60.0 $ 349.1 $ 195.9 Additional detail regarding the revenues of our operating segments by service line follows (in millions): Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 2020 2021 2020 Inpatient rehabilitation: Inpatient $ 976.9 $ 808.0 $ 1,919.2 $ 1,698.0 Outpatient and other 24.7 16.5 42.3 35.7 Total inpatient rehabilitation 1,001.6 824.5 1,961.5 1,733.7 Home health and hospice: Home health 232.3 201.8 452.2 426.6 Hospice 53.8 47.8 104.4 95.8 Total home health and hospice 286.1 249.6 556.6 522.4 Total net operating revenues $ 1,287.7 $ 1,074.1 $ 2,518.1 $ 2,256.1

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements	Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements — In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.” The standard removes certain exceptions to the general principles of ASC 740 and simplifies other areas such as accounting for outside basis differences of equity method investments. Either prospective or retrospective transition of this standard is dependent upon the specific amendments. The new guidance was effective for us beginning January 1, 2021. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact to our condensed consolidated financial statements. We do not believe any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards will have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
