Tricia, yes Medicare does pay for home care for certain surgeries such as
knee replacement.   The CPM machine is used for knee replacement also.   I
used a
machine in my therapy sessions similar to that but not at home however my mom
does have one.   Actual I am a gardener that does not use my knees.   I stand
bent over & do so for 8 hrs or more a day at times with no problems.
Perhaps my shortest is helpful.
