Specialized

Breathing Care

Respiratory therapy is specialized care for patients who have trouble breathing. It can help patients improve their breathing function, strengthen their lungs and recover from serious injuries or illnesses, including respiratory and cardiac arrest. Care may include mechanical ventilators, oxygen and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment.

Insurance Coverage & Referrals

Because insurance plans vary, we encourage you to check with your insurance provider before scheduling to understand your specific coverage. This includes whether a referral or prior authorization is required, and whether both the provider and facility are in‑network with your plan to help avoid unexpected out‑of‑pocket costs.

At Glencoe Regional Health, a referral is required to schedule appointments with our Respiratory Therapy providers.
