Where would I find information about financial support after a total hip replacement?

I am doing research for college and I have found most of the community resources I need, but I haven't been able to find any place the gives financial support for patients who have had a total hip arthroplasty (replacement) If anyone has any information they could share I would really appreciate it! Thanks!Where would I find information about financial support after a total hip replacement?If the patient is employed, he might have paid sick days to use until he is recovered. Once recovered, most patients can return to their regular employment or activities. The expensive part is the doctor, hospital, and rehab. Once those expenses have been covered (usually by some kind of insurance; less often by the patient's cash payment) there isn't a whole lot that's needed beyond their usual income. The employed individual may have paid sick leave; the retired person would continue to receive their retirement benefits regardless of health status..Where would I find information about financial support after a total hip replacement?If someone is employed then they would get statutory sick pay from the employer. If unemployed and receiving benefits the benefits will alter if they are on Job Seekers Allowance or whatever as they are no longer available for x number of weeks to work.



The highest number of hip replacements are done in retired people and nothing alters for them, they receive the pension and related payments as normal.
