Frequently asked questions

Going to hospital for a knee or hip replacement? Learn about our rehabilitation at home service

A rehabilitation program is sometimes required after you have undergone joint replacement surgery. To give you greater choice and flexibility after total hip or knee replacement surgery, Medibank offers a program that allows you to complete your rehabilitation at home. This can involve regular visits from a physiotherapist, occupational therapist, nurse, and/or personal carer.

If you hold Medibank hospital insurance that includes hip and knee replacements, you could be eligible for this program. We will also consult your treating doctor to determine whether it’s safe and appropriate for you.
