Does Medicare Cover Joint Replacement?
235 POINTSview profilejesse bannisterPresident/CEO, TheMedigapMarket.com, Phoenix, ArizonaIt is difficult to give a definitive answer on this. A joint replacement surgery usually comes after years of treatment and physical therapy. In general Medicare must consider the joint replacement surgery to be medically necessary before they will pay on the claim. Without knowing the specific details of your history I really can not say for sure how medicare would look at the this treatment in your situation. I would recommend that you call Medicare directly to ask them how would treat this surgery. The phone number is 1-800-MEDICARE, I wish I had a better answer for you.Answered on January 24, 2014flag this answer
