Medicare contractors are required to develop and disseminate Local Coverage Determinations (LCDs).

Doctors will often prescribe a hospital bed when a patient requires in-home care. These often include conditions that require monitoring and attention, such as cognitive impairments like dementia. An adjustable hospital bed can make it easier to feed, bathe, and entertain patients immobilized by their condition. A hospital bed will often include side rails which can be used as assistive devices for getting into or out of bed.
Many of these conditions make the variable height feature of a hospital bed a medical necessity. When a patient with debilitating diseases and conditions can control the height of their bed, they can get in and out more easily and without caregiver assistance. Conditions like arthritis can require this feature to allow the patient to ease up off the mattress, enabling them to place their feet on the floor while sitting on the edge of the bed.
Hospital beds are specially designed to let users adjust their head and feet when needed, changing the pressure points and improving their body’s circulation. Qualifying for a hospital bed can depend on the severity and frequency of the symptoms that necessitate an adjustable model. If the reason for needing a hospital bed is that the patient’s condition requires frequent repositioning, the prescription and documentation must describe the medical condition.
