Frequently Asked Questions About Shoulder Replacement in Allentown

How do I choose the best shoulder replacement surgeon in Allentown?
Look for surgeons who specialize in shoulder surgery with high procedure volumes (50+ shoulder replacements annually), board certification, fellowship training in shoulder and elbow surgery, and experience with reverse shoulder replacement. Allentown has specialized shoulder surgeons ranked by Medicare volume.

Medicare covers 80% of shoulder replacement costs after your deductible. Typical out-of-pocket costs range from $1,500-$4,500 depending on procedure complexity and facility. Allentown surgeons who participate in Medicare help control costs through standard fee schedules.

What's the difference between regular and reverse shoulder replacement?

Allentown surgeons evaluate which type is appropriate based on your specific shoulder condition and rotator cuff integrity.
