I would call the facility who is going to do the rehab. Your dr can tell you who that is. Also my facility has a program that you can continue with it when your done with the prescribed portion. Although the continuing program is not covered by insurance they make it very cheap. Insurance was getting charged $800 a session x 2 a week for $1600 a week for 9 weeks. Of course I had to pay my co pay but it was very small. Now I pay less than $50 a month for the continuing program and well worth it to "work out" with others who have the same difficulties and are not running 100 mph on a treadmill!
