Lifestyle medicine is critical for optimal recovery from a cardiac event but is often delivered without a robust reimbursement model in place. This session will provide a foundational understanding of how Pritikin Intensive Cardiac Rehab (ICR) can enhance patient care and improve outcomes by bringing lifestyle education to the forefront, and the opportunity it offers for a strong, financially sustainable program. You will also gain valuable peer insights from a dietitian and former ICR director who will share their first-hand experience implementing the Pritikin ICR program.

Learning Objectives:

Identify the eligible patient population for Intensive Cardiac Rehab.
Understand what physician specialties can bill for ICR and how it is reimbursed.
Discover the key components of Pritikin’s lifestyle education curriculum.
Determine what is needed – from a facility and staffing perspective – to deliver the Pritikin ICR program.
