Will Medicare cover hip replacement surgery at age 75?
2330 POINTSview profileSteve AdlmanOwner, Alabama Medicare Plans, Birmingham, AlabamaIf It is medically necessary Medicare will pay for hip replacement surgery at age 75. Age is not the determining factor but whether or not the surgery is medically necessary. Hopefully, your doctor would not want you to go through this type of surgery if it wasn't medically necessary.Answered on October 11, 2017flag this answer

Send the best answer I could give would be talk to planet minute straighter to find out what your total out-of-pocket would be.Answered on March 24, 2019flag this answer
216 POINTSview profileWalker BolinInsurance agent, Bolin Insurance, Natick MAMedicare will cover a hip replacement surgery when if your symptoms have not responded to other treatments and it is deemed medically necessary. Medicare part B covers outpatient surgery, doctor visits, post-operative physical therapy, and durable medical equipment but only pays 80%. A Medicare supplement can cover the 20% and a medicare advantage plan could have fixed costs instead of the 20% as well as a maximum out of pocket limit (MOOP).Answered on December 11, 2019flag this answer
