You : You will need to establish with an orthopedic specialist who can do an assessment, and who can demonstrate in his medical records that you have failed all standard conservative treatment, which for most insurer's including medicare usually includes 6 weeks of standard conservative treatment including nsaid's such as advil (ibuprofen) or other pain relievers, completed course of physical therapy, and that there are physical exam findings. Then an arthrogram is more likely to be considered for coverage under medicare.
