How often is it covered?

Medicare covers a comprehensive pulmonary rehabilitation program if you have moderate to very severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). These services are intended to help you breathe better, make you stronger, and be able to live more independently. These services may be provided in a doctor's office or a hospital outpatient setting that offers pulmonary rehabilitation programs.

Who's eligible?

People with Medicare who have a referral from the doctor treating this chronic respiratory disease are covered.
