Yes, Medicare can cover hospital beds—but only under strict conditions, and the process often involves delays, limited product options, and surprise out-of-pocket costs. If you or a loved one needs a hospital bed quickly, buying directly from Med Mart is often the better, faster, and less stressful solution.
What Medicare Actually Covers
Medicare Part B may help cover a hospital bed if it’s considered medically necessary and prescribed by your doctor. Here’s what the process usually looks like:
-
A face-to-face visit with your physician
-
A written prescription stating the bed is medically required
-
Documentation that a regular bed won’t meet your needs
-
Use of a Medicare-enrolled DME (Durable Medical Equipment) supplier
Even when approved, Medicare typically only pays for a basic manual or semi-electric bed, and you may still be responsible for 20% of the cost, plus your Part B deductible.
Common Limitations with Medicare-Covered Beds
-
Delays: Approval and paperwork can take weeks
-
Limited Models: Most upgraded features (like full electric adjustment or specialized mattresses) are not covered
-
No Accessories: Side rails, mattress upgrades, and delivery/setup are often excluded
-
Regional Restrictions: Not all suppliers offer nationwide delivery
