How it works
1. Referral or Consultation
Start your journey with a referral from your physician — or contact us directly if you’d like help arranging one.
If you don’t yet have a referral, our team can provide a Resp-Aera Referral Form that you can take to your doctor.
This ensures our program aligns with your medical needs and health history.
2. Assessment & Baseline Testing
Your Registered Respiratory Therapist conducts a personalized evaluation, including spirometry, functional exercise testing, and symptom assessment, to design a safe and effective treatment plan.
3. 8-Week Program
Our comprehensive program follows CTS, ATS, and AACVPR guidelines.
Each session focuses on breathing retraining, progressive exercise, self-management education, and emotional support — all tailored to your goals and abilities.
4. Completion & Follow-Up
After eight weeks, we provide a summary report to your physician and a maintenance plan to help you continue improving independently.
Cost & Coverage
The full 8-week program costs $1,000.
Many extended health plans offer coverage for rehabilitation programs under paramedical, physiotherapy, or wellness benefits. Because our program includes supervised exercise therapy and evidence-based respiratory education, some insurers may reimburse part or all of the cost under physiotherapy or related benefit categories.
We can provide documentation or referral forms to help you confirm coverage with your insurance provider before starting.
Not sure if your plan covers pulmonary rehabilitation? Contact us — we can guide you through the process and help you discuss it with your insurer or physician.
