yes, they will cover a bilateral knee replacement if the doctor's documentation shows that both knees need replacement.
Contact medicare for this answer.
yes
I had bilateral knee replacent surgery three months ago. I have not been able to increase the range of motion beyond 95 degrees. I exercise daily on a stationary bike and a rowing machine. Swelling is almost gone.
Yes, but unlike other procedures that are 80%/20% copay, knee & hips are 70%/30% which means that either secondary insurance pays the thousands of dollars in copayments or the patient pays.
Will Medicare pay for a second knee replacement on the same knee?
I would suggest you contact some experienced surgeon now. We refer our patients to a trained Knee Surgeons only.
you had a tkr done by a dodgy surgeon and he did not do it properly, that's why you are suffering, just like me, now awaiting a revision.
"Bilateral" means both the knees are concerned. "replacement" probably means a prothesis will be put instead of the bone and flesh knee. To elaborate on above answer bilateral knee replacement is a surgical procedure where in knee replacement surgeon replaces both arthritic knees of patients in a same hospitalization period.
no you shoulded because it could get like way wourse! No way it's bad to bend over after knee surgery. All it's doing is hurting the joints!!!(By a 5th grader)
B/L Knee means Bilateral knees, i guess
A knee brace has its own benefits especially after knee surgery. One, there's mainly the problem of additional damage to the weak bone of the knee after knee surgery.
