Most likely yes, but a lot of it depends on medical necessity, services needed in combination with the surgery itself, post-op care, and other factors.
The cost of the care will also depend on whether it's an inpatient or outpatient procedure, the percentage of cost Medicare will cover, etc. I would make sure to have a Medigap plan in place to cover the costs that Medicare doesn't pay for (e.g. if Medicare covers 80% of the expenses, the plan would cover the other 20% if it's a plan F or G - that 20% can be a very high dollar figure if you paid it yourself).
I hope the information is helpful - please feel free to contact me for assistance with your Medigap plan and if you have any other questions. Thanks very much.
