Does Medicare Cover Joint Replacement? 
It 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 .
