My cardiologist wants me to start cardiac rehab after my heart attack. Does Medicare cover it, and how many sessions do I get?
Answered by 1 licensed agent
Before receiving treatment you should always ask your doctor about Medicare coverage and what is included. According to Medicare.gov website "Medicare Part B (Medical Insurance) covers regular and intensive cardiac rehabilitation programs if you're eligible." A heart attack in the last 12 months is one of the eligible conditions, so you qualify as long as you start within that window. Your cardiologist’s referral is the key piece. Make sure to ask your doctor how many sessions will be covered by Medicare to avoid any surprises.
