Who will pay for my medical expenses because of the DePuy hip recall?
In it’s recall notice, DePuy stated that it “intends to cover reasonable and customary costs of monitoring and treatment”, which include hip replacement surgery. Although the company will release the procedure for reimbursement at a later date, it did state that patients will need to pay for any costs they incur and then DePuy will reimburse people for “reasonable and customary expenses” at a later date. The company further stated that such reimbursement will be subject to confirmation of eligibility, which requires the completion of various documentation, x-rays, the removed devices and other medical information.
