The patient's medical records must establish medical necessity for a hospital bed due to one of the following reasons: 1. The patient's condition requires positioning of the body; e.g., to alleviate pain, promote good body alignment, prevent contractures, avoid respiratory infections, in ways not feasible in an ordinary bed; or 2. The patient's condition requires special attachments that cannot be fixed and used on an ordinary bed. You can find this rule in the Medicare National Coverage Determinations Manual, Section 280.7(A).
