    Yes, Medicare does cover knee and hip replacement surgeries. These are very popular surgeries and getting more common all the time. However, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) is reported to be considering deep cuts in the reimbursements paid to orthopedic doctors for performing this type of operation. It remains to be seen if that comes to pass.
