Easier Access to Cardiac and Pulmonary Rehab under Medicare

New rules make it easier to access cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation programs under Medicare. This means more people can benefit from these important therapies, with treatment available in more settings and from a wider range of medical professionals. These changes will take effect starting January 1, 2024.
Key points
Expansion of locations where cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation can take place, beyond traditional physician offices.
Allows physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and clinical nurse specialists to prescribe and supervise rehabilitation exercises, not just physicians.
Greater flexibility in accessing care after heart or lung issues, potentially speeding up recovery.
