You had said that I will need a knee replacement sometime in the future. I have been told by Medicare that coverage for rehab (living in a rehab facility) after discharge from hospital is determined by the surgeon or primary doctor. Is this correct?

Coverage for any service is determined by the patient’s health plan. We do not dictate what a carrier/plan will or will not cover. We recommend that you contact your carrier for more detail.

I think it's most probable. Usually your sent home these days. But he's the best of the best! Good luck☺👍
