Medicare and most insurance companies cover 36 sessions with one of the following diagnoses and a physician’s order:

• Heart attack in the last 12 months
• Open heart surgery
• Coronary stenting or coronary angioplasty
• Stable chest pain
• Heart valve replacement or repair
• Heart or a heart/lung transplant
• Stable chronic heart failure with an ejection fraction less than 35 percent

Other conditions may be covered as well.  If you have a heart-related medical issue, feel free to call us! We will be happy to talk with you or your provider. We also work with people who do not qualify for insurance but who want to pay us direct; a physician referral is still required.

• In our Cardiac Rehab program, patients follow a planned and monitored exercise program three days a week. 
• Blood pressure, heart rate and heart rhythm are all monitored using a wireless EKG while exercising. The overall goal is to strengthen cardiac function, but many times patients find their muscle strength, flexibility and balance improve as well. 
• By the end of the program, patients typically reach a level where they are comfortable carrying on activities of daily living and exercising on their own. Each patient’s progress is documented and sent to their physician over the duration of the program.
