Patients typically begin cardiac rehab two to six weeks following a cardiac event or procedure, or a release from your cardiologist.
Most insurance companies will cover certain diagnoses for cardiac rehab. Our experienced staff will help you verify your coverage or talk to you about your options if your insurance does not cover the cost of the program.
Ask your cardiologist or a family physician for a referral to Saint Joseph Cardiac Rehabilitation Center, or call our Center at (859) 313-4793.
During Phase II, patients typically attend rehab three times a week. During Phase III, you can exercise up to five days a week.
An individualized program is set up for everyone. In general, cardiac rehab takes six to 12 weeks. Phase III maintenance and prevention programs are ongoing.
