Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation Encompass Health Corporation (the “Company” or “Encompass Health”), incorporated in Delaware in 1984, including its subsidiaries, is a provider of inpatient rehabilitation services. Our national network of inpatient rehabilitation hospitals stretches across 37 states and Puerto Rico, with concentrations of hospitals in the eastern half of the United States and Texas. As of June 30, 2023, we operate 158 inpatient rehabilitation hospitals. We are the sole owner of 97 of these hospitals. We retain 50.0% to 97.5% ownership in the remaining 61 jointly owned hospitals. 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 27, 2023 (the “2022 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, 2022 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. Net Operating Revenues — Our Net operating revenues disaggregated by payor source are as follows (in millions): Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 2022 2023 2022 Medicare $ 763.2 $ 690.7 $ 1,520.7 $ 1,380.8 Medicare Advantage 198.1 160.7 384.5 316.7 Managed care 133.5 123.3 260.6 254.8 Medicaid 48.8 47.5 96.2 89.3 Other third-party payors 10.6 9.4 21.5 19.4 Workers’ compensation 7.3 5.9 13.0 12.0 Patients 4.0 4.1 6.6 9.2 Other income 21.6 20.9 44.4 39.6 Total $ 1,187.1 $ 1,062.5 $ 2,347.5 $ 2,121.8 See Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies , to the consolidated financial statements accompanying the 2022 Form 10-K for our policy related to Net operating revenues . Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Affiliates — On July 1, 2023 we entered into a joint venture agreement with the University of Maryland Rehabilitation Institute of Southern Maryland, LLC (“UM Rehab”) to operate our previously wholly owned 60-bed hospital in Bowie, Maryland. As a condition of the joint venture agreement, UM Rehab paid $26.3 million on June 30, 2023 for a 50% ownership interest in the hospital which became effective on July 1, 2023. This payment is included in Contributions from noncontrolling interests of consolidated affiliates on the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements — We do not believe any 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.

Discontinued Operations and Disposal Groups [Abstract]
Spin Off of Home Health and Hospice Business	Spin Off of Home Health and Hospice Business On July 1, 2022, we completed the previously announced separation of our home health and hospice business through the distribution (the “Spin Off”) of all of the outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Enhabit, Inc. (“Enhabit”) to the stockholders of record of Encompass Health as of the close of business on June 24, 2022 (the “Record Date”). The Spin Off was effective at 12:01 a.m., Eastern Time, on July 1, 2022. The Spin Off was structured as a pro rata distribution of one share of Enhabit common stock for every two shares of Encompass Health common stock held of record as of the Record Date. No fractional shares were distributed. A cash payment was made in lieu of any fractional shares. As a result of the Spin Off, Enhabit is now an independent public company and its common stock is listed under the symbol “EHAB” on the New York Stock Exchange. In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, the historical results of Enhabit have been presented as discontinued operations and, as such, have been excluded from continuing operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. Our presentation of discontinued operations excludes any allocation of general corporate and overhead costs as well as interest expense. Prior to July 1, 2022, we operated under two reporting segments. We now operate under a single reporting segment. In anticipation of the Spin Off, Enhabit transferred the “Encompass” trade name (net book value of $104.2 million) to us during the second quarter of 2022. In connection with the Spin Off, on June 30, 2022, we entered into several agreements with Enhabit that govern the relationship of the parties following the Spin Off, including a Separation and Distribution Agreement, a Transition Services Agreement, a Tax Matters Agreement and an Employee Matters Agreement. We will provide transition services to Enhabit predominately consisting of certain finance, information technology, human resources, employee benefits and other administrative services for a period of up to two years after the Spin Off. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, income related to these transition services of $0.9 million and $1.9 million, respectively, were reflected as reductions to General and administrative expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The following table presents the results of operations of Enhabit as discontinued operations (in millions): Three Months Ended June 30, 2022 Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 Net operating revenue $ 268.0 $ 542.3 Operating expenses: Salaries and benefits 187.8 376.4 Other operating expenses 24.5 47.6 Occupancy costs 5.5 11.0 Supplies 5.4 11.7 General and administrative expenses 24.0 35.0 Depreciation and amortization 8.2 16.7 Total operating expenses 255.4 498.4 Interest expense and amortization of debt discounts and fees — 0.1 Income from discontinued operations before income taxes 12.6 43.8 Provision for income tax expense 1.1 8.6 Income from discontinued operations, net of tax 11.5 35.2 Less: Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests included in discontinued operations (0.7) (1.3) Net income attributable to Encompass Health included in discontinued operations $ 10.8 $ 33.9 Transaction costs of $22.9 million and $32.5 million incurred during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, are included in general and administrative expenses in the table above and in (Loss) income from discontinued operations, net of tax , in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. These charges primarily relate to third-party advisory, consulting, legal and professional services, that are associated with the Spin Off. See Note 2, Spin Off of Home Health and Hospice Business , to the consolidated financial statements accompanying the 2022 Form 10‑K for additional information.

Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract]
Business Combinations	Business Combinations During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we completed the following 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 March 2023, we acquired 50% of the operations of a 24-bed inpatient rehabilitation unit in Eau Claire, Wisconsin when Hospital Sisters Health System contributed those operations to our existing joint venture. • In March 2023, we acquired 50% of the operations of a 48-bed inpatient rehabilitation unit in Knoxville, Tennessee when Covenant Health contributed those operations to our existing joint venture. We accounted for these transactions under the acquisition method of accounting and reported the results of operations of the acquired hospitals from the respective dates 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 discounted cash flow techniques for the noncompete intangible assets; an income approach utilizing the relief from royalty method for the trade name intangible assets; and an income approach utilizing the excess earnings method for the certificate of need 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. 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 hospitals’ historical patient base and the benefits of being able to leverage operational efficiencies with favorable growth opportunities based on positive demographic trends in these markets.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Variable Interest Entities	Variable Interest Entities As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we consolidated eight 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 75.0% as of June 30, 2023. 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 sheets, are as follows (in millions): June 30, 2023 December 31, 2022 Assets Current assets: Cash and cash equivalents $ 0.4 $ 0.2 Accounts receivable 32.8 34.0 Other current assets 7.9 6.7 Total current assets 41.1 40.9 Property and equipment, net 125.2 129.0 Operating lease right-of-use assets 1.4 1.7 Goodwill 15.9 15.9 Intangible assets, net 1.3 1.5 Other long-term assets 18.7 18.8 Total assets $ 203.6 $ 207.8 Liabilities Current liabilities: Current portion of long-term debt $ 0.8 $ 0.8 Current operating lease liabilities — 0.4 Accounts payable 5.9 7.0 Accrued expenses and other current liabilities 17.9 23.9 Total current liabilities 24.6 32.1 Long-term debt, net of current portion 14.1 14.5 Long-term operating lease liabilities 1.3 1.3 Total liabilities $ 40.0 $ 47.9

Each Indenture contains restrictive covenants that, among other things, limit our ability and the ability of certain of our subsidiaries to make certain asset dispositions, investments, and distributions to holders of our capital stock. The amendments to the Indentures permitted us, subject to the leverage ratio condition set forth below, to distribute to our equity holders in one or more transactions (a “Distribution”) some or all of the common stock of a subsidiary that holds substantially all of the assets of our home health and hospice business. We were permitted to make any such distribution so long as the Leverage Ratio (as defined in each Indenture) was no more than 3.5 to 1.0 on a pro forma basis after giving effect thereto. The amendments also reduced the capacity under our restricted payments builder basket under each existing Indenture for the 2028 Notes, 2030 Notes, and 2031 Notes by $200 million and amended the definition of “Consolidated Net Income” to allow us to exclude from Consolidated Net Income (a component of the Leverage Ratio) any fees, expenses or charges related to any Distribution and the solicitation of consents from the holders of the Senior Notes. In December 2021 and January 2022, we received the requisite consents for the adoption of these amendments. Under the terms of the amendments, we agreed to pay the holders of the Senior Notes a total of $40.5 million, excluding fees. We paid $20.0 million and $20.5 million in January and June 2022, respectively. In March 2022, we redeemed the remaining $100 million in outstanding principal amount of the 5.125% Senior Notes due 2023 (the “2023 Notes”) using capacity under our revolving credit facility. Pursuant to the terms of the 2023 Notes, this optional redemption was made at a price of par. As a result of this redemption, we recorded a $0.3 million Loss on early extinguishment of debt during the three months ended March 31, 2022. In June 2022, Enhabit distributed $566.6 million to Encompass Health who used it to fully repay both the $250 million outstanding balance of the Encompass Health revolving credit facility and approximately $236 million of the Encompass Health term loan. As a result of this repayment, we recorded a $1.1 million Loss on early extinguishment of debt during the three months ended June 30, 2022.

Of the restricted stock awards issued to members of our management team, 0.3 million contain only a service condition, while the remainder contain a service and/or performance condition as well as a market condition for certain members of management. For the awards that include a performance and market 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 and the applicable three year market condition 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 2022 Form 10‑K.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Contingencies and Other Commitments	Contingencies and Other Commitments We provide services in the highly regulated healthcare industry. Furthermore, operating inpatient rehabilitation hospitals requires significant staffing and involves intensive therapy for individuals suffering from significant physical or cognitive disabilities or injuries. 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. 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 or its specific claims 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.
