JOINT REPLACEMENT

• Are you replacing a hip, knee, shoulder or other joint
• Just had surgery or have an upcoming surgery
• Need help preparing for a surgery
• Have questions about what to expect during recovery

​

In 2014, more than 400,000 Medicare beneficiaries received a hip or knee replacement and many of these patients received home health within 48-72 hours of their surgery taking place.

​

At BSA ComPassion, we are communicating with your physician to customize a plan specific to your needs.  There are many advantages to having home health after your knee surgery instead of going to a Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF), or starting an outpatient therapy program.

​

​

What Can ComPassion Do?

It all starts with a good plan...

​

• When scheduling your surgery, make sure and speak to your physician about home health
• Many physicians will work with a home health agency prior to your surgery to communicate your needs, your insurance, and your post-surgery regimen.
• Once your surgery is complete, a nurse from BSA ComPassion will come to your hospital room to coordinate your discharge with the hospital's discharging staff.

• Once home, your nursing and therapy team will do everything they can to make your transition home seamless and start you on the road to recovery.

​

Make sure and tell your physican you want to use home health, and you want to use BSA ComPassion.
