How is cardiac rehabilitation performed?
Lee 健康’s cardiac rehabilitation program provides comprehensive care in a center that helps you feel safe and supported. Most insurance plans cover cardiac rehabilitation with the patient responsible for any co-pay or balance due.
What are the Phases of Cardiac Rehabilitation?
Phase 1 (Inpatient)
If your cardiac condition requires a hospital stay, your rehabilitation will begin while you are in the hospital. You will learn about your heart’s function, 心脏病, and the role diet and 锻炼 play in your recovery, and you will begin limited physical activity.
Your physician will usually make a patient referral to Phase 2 Outpatient Cardiac Rehabilitation when you are discharged from the hospital.
Phase 2 (Outpatient)
Patients who undergo Phase 2 Cardiac Rehabilitation have had recent heart problems such as angina, 心脏病, angioplasty/stent, 心脏手术, and stable chronic heart failure. Phase 2 is a medically supervised program and includes 教育, support, and 锻炼.
This phase focuses on improving quality of life and reducing the risks associated with heart problems. Patients are encouraged to begin the program within 2-4 weeks after discharge from the hospital.
Phase 2 cardiac rehabilitation takes place at 健康Park Medical Plaza One, Cape Coral Hospital, and Lee 健康 Coconut Point. Patients need a physician referral to get into the program. This usually happens at discharge from the hospital after a cardiac event or procedure.
Medicare covers approximately 80 percent of the cost of cardiac rehabilitation. Most supplemental insurance will cover the remainder of the balance if the patient has a supplemental policy.
For Phase 2 patients, please note:
- We provide full medical supervision at all times.
- We provide a safe environment, where your heart function can be carefully monitored during 锻炼.
- Doctors, nurses, 锻炼 physiologists, and a dietitian are all included in the care team.

Phase 3 (Maintenance)
Heart patients who have completed Phase 2 or need less supervision are encouraged to participate in Phase 3. This program emphasizes independence while helping you maintain a heart-healthy lifestyle. Phase 3 programs take place at the 健康y Life Center in Fort Myers and the 健康y Life Center in Cape Coral. Trained 锻炼 specialists are available to help at our 健康y Life Center Babcock Ranch facility.
A physician must refer a patient to the program. Because Phase 3 is considered a maintenance program, the membership fee is usually not covered by insurance companies. For more information, call the location of your choice.
What to Expect After Cardiac Rehabilitation
The doctor may request that you conduct another 锻炼 stress test after your final cardiac rehab session and as part of completing your program to:
- Reevaluate how safe 锻炼 is
- Indicate your cardiorespiratory fitness has improved since your original 锻炼 stress test
- Your personalized 锻炼 training recommendations should be updated to take into account your improved physical health.
If you continue to apply all you've learned about lowering your cardiovascular risk factors, 处理压力, preparing heart-healthy meals, and quit up tobacco products, you'll increase your body's overall health.
