Medicare does cover joint replacement if the need to replace the joint is considered medically necessary. Joint replacement includes shoulder, hip, knee and other body joints.
Make sure you use a medical provider that accepts assignment.
Some replacement joint devices are considered a "premium" device. You may be responsible for paying the difference in a basic device and an upgrade. Your provider can advise.
