A member asked:
Does knee joint replacement qualify for workmans comp?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sometimes: It really depends on whether there was a specific injury that caused the knee arthritis or flareup of underlying arthritis. In most cases, it isn't a great idea to claim a knee replacement needs to be done under the workers compensation carrier and place that kind of burden on your employer. That's is what medical insurance is for.
