Does Medicare cover Hospital Beds?

Medicare considers hospital beds as a “capped rental” item. This means that you must use a vendor that rents equipment and bills Medicare for the monthly payments. We advise you to seek a local dealer that rents since Medicare will require them to install and maintain this “capped rental” equipment. If you determine to rent, please contact us. We may help you find a local dealer who rents hospital beds. Medicare does not consider a full-electric hospital bed, Deluxe bed, or a Luxury bed to be medically necessary.
