No, Medicare will NOT cover the cost of an adjustable bed - the kind we are talking about here at least. They will pay for adjustable hospital styled beds that are used for home health care.
Home care adjustable beds are categorized as “durable medical equipment” which means that they can sometimes be covered under Medicare. However, there are some conditions that have to be met to warrant Medicare coverage for adjustable beds, including: Neurological disorders like dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, Epilepsy, and stroke
Spinal injuries
Lung and heart conditions
Severe arthritis and other pain conditions
Although Medicare might only cover the cost of a hospital bed that is prescribed by a doctor, there are many forms of private insurance that could help cover some of the costs of more modern and luxurious adjustable beds for seniors.
