Does Medicare Plan AB Pay For Total Knee Replacement In 2014? 
Most likely yes , but a lot of it depends on medical necessity , services needed in combination with the surgery itself , post-op care , and other factors . The cost of the care will also depend on whether it 's an inpatient or outpatient procedure , the percentage of cost Medicare will cover , etc. . I would make sure to have a Medigap plan in place to cover the costs that Medicare does n't pay for -LRB- e.g. if Medicare covers 80 % of the expenses , the plan would cover the other 20 % if it 's a plan F or G - that 20 % can be a very high dollar figure if you paid it yourself -RRB- . I hope the information is helpful - please feel free to contact me for assistance with your Medigap plan and if you have any other questions . Thanks very much .
