My Steps Free "Structured" Walking Program vs. Supervised Exercise Therapy (SET)
"Supervised exercise (therapy, SET), often prescribed to patients at risk for peripheral arterial disease, requires a $10 to $20 co-pay each for a dozen visits to a rehabilitation center that might be an hour's drive away. For someone without easy access, making $32,000 a year, such a regimen is likely to be impossible, Foluso Fakorede said. Government insurance won't reimburse for at-home supervised exercise, which would solve the problem." ~ USA Today Reporter Karen Weintraub
