Three Phases of Pulmonary Rehabilitation
Swedish Covenant Hospital's Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program involves three treatment phases to ensure the best recovery for your lung health.
Phase II is covered by Medicare and most insurance policies; Phase III is not generally covered, but check with your insurance carrier to be sure.
PHASE I The first phase begins with inpatient education during hospitalization, when necessary.
PHASE II The initial outpatient program, Phase II meets 3 times a week in the Galter LifeCenter for up to 10 weeks or fewer, if progress is rapid. Participants graduate to the next phase after achieving certain fitness goals.
PHASE III A medically supervised maintenance exercise program, Phase III involves less monitoring. It is designed to preserve for a lifetime the benefits gained by participation in the program.
