Common Questions Orthopedic Surgeons Hear from Joint Patients

Q:  Can I choose my rehabilitation center?

A:  If you need to go to an inpatient rehab facility, the decision of where you go will depend on your needs. It may also depend on which facility has a bed available. Your insurance company may influence the decision as well. Find out about your options in advance and discuss them with your case manager.

Think also about what is the best location—near your home, near the hospital or near your family members. While you may not get your first choice, it is a good idea to be prepared with options so you can let your preferences be known.
