I live alone. I have to have a hip replacement surgery and I was told that insurance provides a facility that will work with you on physical therapy for a few days after the surgery and sends you home after you can help yourself. I live in IL and have Aetna insurance.
Your question should go to your orrhopedist to find out.
Others have given you valuable advice regarding the surgery. Please make sure that you have round-the-clock in-home help for the first few days you return home (plus you may need someone to run errands for you and drive you to appointments). You may need to have meals prepped for you.
My husband had bilateral hip replacement surgery in 1999-2000 and then needed a revision surgery in 2019. He spent a few days in the hospital after the surgery but was then released home; hospital PT made sure he could 1) walk a certain distance and 2) get up and down a small flight of stairs. Granted, he had me and other family members there to help him. The protocols between his first surgeries and the revision had changed drastically; after his first surgeries, they didn't want him to put any weight on his hips, but after the revision, he could be full weight bearing from the start. The only PT that was prescribed for my husband after the bi-lateral replacements was to walk- or better yet, swim, if he had access to a pool. After the revision, he was prescribed outpatient PT for about 6 weeks, 2 times a week.
After the revision, because he could be full weight bearing, he was able to do most everything for himself - dressing, bathing, toileting, etc. Really, for a major joint-replacement surgery, the recovery wasn't horrific. So don't be afraid about the "sending you home" aspect of this; you might very well be able to do more for yourself than you envision right now.
You might have the option of having PT come into your home; you probably won't be allowed to drive for 6 weeks post-surgery.
More importantly for you, there is medical equipment you should make sure you have for your home that will make recovery much more comfortable; a "high seat" toilet extender is among the most important, in my (and my husband's!!) opinion. A high hip chair would be helpful too - but a stool is a pretty good substitute.
Good luck!
I agree with Isthis there are so many MA plans out there with different criteria, that there is no way we could give you an accurate answer. Also, we can't tell you if Rehab will be recommended. Some people go straight home after a hip replacement. You are suppose to recuperate from this surgery pretty well.
You really need to talk to the surgeon about your concerns.
I am gonna guess Advantage plan based on your wording. You need to go to Aetna directly to find out what you can expect for services covered and how it all works. There are to many plans available, state to state variations for anyone but them to know what coverage you have.
Prayers for an easy surgery and quick recovery!
