TASS Brain Injury Rehabilitation Center

What TASS Brain Injury Rehabilitation Center does

TASS Brain Injury Rehabilitation Center is a private, founder-owned operator of post-acute residential rehabilitation facilities for adults with acquired brain injuries and dual-diagnosis spinal cord injuries. Founded by Suzanne Lentz in 2011 in Ponchatoula, Louisiana, the company has grown to three licensed facilities — Ponchatoula, LA (2011, headquarters); Crystal Springs, MS (2019, operated as NRC-TASS and described as the only facility of its kind in Mississippi); and Covington, LA (2021). All three programs hold CARF (Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities) accreditation, described as the gold standard in the rehabilitation industry, and are licensed by the Louisiana Department of Health and Mississippi State Department of Health respectively.

The service model is a continuum of care spanning intensive short-term treatment through long-term supported living, delivered 24/7/365 by a multidisciplinary clinical team covering physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech-language pathology, cognitive rehabilitation, behavioral therapy, nursing management, counseling, and vocational rehabilitation, supplemented by alternative modalities (equine, horticultural, music, sound, art, and massage therapy). TASS does not develop proprietary technology platforms; its core capability is clinical programming, residential care delivery, and outcome measurement using standardized tools such as the Mayo Portland assessment. Client length of stay is determined by goal attainment and Mayo Portland score improvements, with progress reports submitted to funders every three months.

Revenue is generated on a per-diem residential rate covering room, board, and all therapeutic services, billed to one of four funder categories: private insurance, private pay, Veterans Affairs, and Workers Compensation. The go-to-market is exclusively referral-based, relying on relationships with hospitals across Louisiana, Mississippi, and the broader US; Managed Care Organizations; case workers; physicians; the Department of Human Services; the VA; social workers; and workers compensation carriers. In 2025, TASS announced a partnership with Vizion Health, a national behavioral healthcare and neurorehabilitation company, bringing the Ponchatoula and Covington facilities into a larger provider network while preserving the TASS brand.

Revenue model

1. Residential Rehabilitation Daily Rate: TASS generates revenue through daily rates charged for residential rehabilitation services. Daily rates cover room, board, and all therapeutic programming including physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, cognitive rehabilitation, behavioral therapy, and alternative therapies. The payer for services (insurance, VA, workers comp, or private pay) is responsible for the daily rate. Length of stay is estimated upon admission and determined by progress on goals, Mayo Portland assessment score improvements, and funder approval, with progress reports submitted every three months or as required by the funder.
