I am having my surgery (TKP) this Friday and I still don't know where I am going after I leave the hospital. My surgeon wants me to have in home therapy for the first two weeks and then go to outpatient therapy. Sorry to say in my home town Columbus Nebraska we don't have in home therapy.I mentioned this to my surgeon and he said to talk with my family doctor and have him help me . Now my family doctor wants me to go straight to the rehab unit when I get out of the hospital in our home town for 10 days. I had told him that I need to make sure our insurance will cover this. Our insurance is Golden Rule which is being taken over by United Health. Calling the insurance company is a joke as I keep getting different answers everytime I call. Seems like no one knows what is going on while this transaction is taking place. My doctor told me not to worry about it . He said the day after my surgery a counsler will come and talk with me. I am suppose to mention to them that my doctor wants me to go to the swing bed unit and they will do all the work with my insurance company. I just don't want to find out that it was not covered and end up paying this off for the next 15 yrs. I am so confused.....Also how important is the CPM machine. Seems like my surgeon doesn't use this machine.
