Frequently Asked Questions

Pre-hab services are for those who are planning an elective procedure. It is done ahead of time to prepare a person physically and mentally for surgery, as well as promote a faster recovery.

Here at Green Hills, our physical therapist can work with you and your physician to identify physical deficits such as weakness, pain, and balance issues. You will work with the therapist to develop a plan of action to increase strength, balance, and range of motion. It is common for people to participate in pre-hab two to three times a week at Green Hills’ therapy gym, wellness center and pool, with each session lasting 45 to 60 minutes.

Medicare Part A pays for approximately 80% of your Medicare-approved services. Your supplemental insurance helps with the other 20%. Often, there is a remaining co-payment required. Please refer to the Medicare and You Handbook for more details.
