Limited availability and access: Cardiac rehabilitation programs may not be widely available in all areas, which can make it difficult for some patients to access the care they need.
Limited insurance coverage: Some insurance plans may not cover the costs of cardiac rehabilitation, or may have limits on the number of sessions covered. This can make it difficult for some patients to afford the costs of the program.
Patient adherence: It can be challenging for some patients to stick to the prescribed rehabilitation program, particularly if they have busy schedules or find the exercises and lifestyle changes difficult to follow.
Coordinating care: Cardiac rehabilitation programs often involve a team of healthcare professionals, including doctors, nurses, and physical therapists. Coordinating the care of multiple healthcare providers can be challenging.
Managing chronic conditions: Many patients who undergo cardiac rehabilitation have underlying chronic conditions, such as diabetes or high blood pressure. Managing these conditions and ensuring that they are well-controlled can be a challenge.

General liability insurance: This type of insurance protects the rehabilitation center against claims of property damage or bodily injury that may occur on the premises.
Property insurance: This type of insurance covers damages to the rehabilitation center’s physical buildings and property.
Business interruption insurance: This type of insurance provides financial protection if the rehabilitation center is unable to operate due to a covered event, such as a natural disaster.
