How to get financial assistance for total knee replacement?

My dad is 65 and has Medicare. He needs a total knee replacement on both knees. He cannot stand or walk for any length of time and is in pain most of the time. Although he has Medicare, there is still a substantial amount that he would need to pay out-of-pocket for the surgery and post-surgical rehabilitation. He lives in Chester County, PA and does not qualify for any sort of Medicaid. Does anyone know of someone/somewhere where he can get financial assistance to help cover the cost?|||He should buy a Medicare supplemental insurance also known as Medi Gap for about $150 a month. You buy it from an insurance company, separate from Medicare. It picks up the balance of charges that Medicare wont cover.





Go to an independent agent locally who knows which insurance is available in your area and make recommendations.
