Adjustable Beds
Adjustable Beds - not Medicare
Approved
Semi-electric Hospital Beds basically do
the same thing as Adjustable Beds. But, Adjustable Beds are not Medicare
Approved (Medicare specifies that Adjustable Beds have to have a manual crank
or electric motor to elevate the whole bed up and down to qualify as a hospital
bed. The only adjustable beds that have the electric 3 motor function
are the
flex-a-bed's
and
Transfer Master adjustable
beds. But, if you can afford
an Adjustable Bed out of your own money, you will be getting a better looking
bed, and a much better standard mattress. If you only qualify for a
Standard Semi-Electric Hospital Bed, you are allowed to pay the difference
to get a Flex-A-Bed or Transfer Master Adjustable Bed. You must sign
the ABN form, acknowledging that you
know you are going to pay the difference.

There is
considerable amount of paperwork that has to be filled out before you are
eligible for a Mobility Scooter or Mobility Power Chair - BUT THIS PAPERWORK
IS DONE PRIMARILY BETWEEN OUR MEDICARE BILLER AND YOUR PHYSICIAN. The
Paperwork has to be complete BEFORE delivery. You have to have a specific
appointment with your Physician, a "Face-to-Face" with your Physician that
addresses your needs. The Doctor has to specifically write in his chart
notes during this meeting why you cannot handle a walker or a manual wheelchair.
Medicare only cares about your indoor use Medicare does not care about
your outdoor use; Patient must have mobility limitation that significantly
impairs his/her ability to participate in one or more mobility-related activities
of daily living (MRADLs) such as toileting, feeding, dressing, grooming,
and bathing in customary locations in the home. You are allowed
to walk; just to have difficulty walking within your home).

Step 1
Visit with your physician for a face-to-face examination and discuss your
mobility options. Medicare now requires a face-to-face examination with your
physician prior to writing a prescription for a power mobility device.
During your exam, your physician must first consider the use of cane, walker,
and manual wheelchair before considering a scooter or power wheelchair. If
your physician feels that your mobility needs must be resolved with a scooter
or power wheelchair, this must be supported in your medical records and a
prescription can be written. A Physical Therapist or Occupational Therapist
may also conduct an additional assessment if your physician deems it necessary.
Step 2
Have your physician fax or mail the written prescription and medical records
to your Mobility Supplier. The Mobility Supplier must receive the written
prescription and supporting documentation (medical records) within 45 days
from the date of your face-to-face examination.
Once received, the Mobility Supplier will work with you and your physician
to determine the appropriate scooter or power wheelchair model for your needs.
Step 3
Your Mobility Supplier will conduct a home assessment to ensure that you
have adequate access and maneuverability space.*
The primary reason for a power mobility device is to compensate for your
mobility limitations within your home and your ability to perform activities
of daily living including toileting, grooming, bathing, dressing and eating.
Therefore, it is critical to determine if your home environment will support
the use of a scooter or power wheelchair.
