Has No Life - Lives on TB
What are the limits for getting physical therapy for your knees, if you have Medicare?
I know that there are yearly limits, but I am wondering what they are, as my knees are in really bad shape.
Also, if I would have knee replacement surgery, would the amount of physical therapy that they cover be higher?
one other question — I understand that physical therapy for the knees BEFORE knee replacement surgery is a good thing, as the stronger the muscles are going into the surgery, the better the recovery after the fact.
But if I were to go into a regimen of PT before surgery, would they cut the amount of PT they will pay for after surgery?
Thank you in advance for your insights and shared knowledge.
