Patient Care Equipment

Under US Medicare Part B, DME must meet the program's equipment criteria and be prescribed as medically necessary for home use. The list includes hospital beds. A product enquiry establishes neither prescription nor coverage eligibility; describe the offered item and route to verification separately.

Medicare's US DME guidance requires enrolled suppliers and doctors; Medicare pays for DME obtained from enrolled suppliers. It also says to ask whether a supplier participates or accepts assignment. Suggested practice: qualify the supplier/payment route before recording a Medicare enquiry as a covered sale.

For US Medicare Part B hospital beds, the published patient share is 20% of the Medicare-approved amount after the deductible when the supplier accepts assignment. A supplier that does not participate or accept assignment can create additional upfront rental cost. Coverage and supplier status must be checked.

Medicare's US hospital-bed page says the equipment type determines whether it is rented, bought or available through either option. Suggested reporting practice: distinguish a rental arrangement from ownership when defining an order event. The saved account AOV is neither a bed price nor a Medicare reimbursement amount.
