Swiss orthopedics company Medacta International and Geisinger Health System have said they will pilot a lifetime guarantee program for knee replacement surgeries.

The program will cover full costs for screened Geisinger Health Plan members who receive knee replacement surgery while also ensuring reimbursement for any associated future care the patients may incur throughout their lifetimes. Medacta and Geisinger will share the costs of the implant and associated hospital fees while patients remain on the Geisinger Health Plan and are treated by Geisinger providers.
