If your loved one’s doctor determines that they need a lift chair, Medicare will cover this expense as a durable medical equipment. In most cases, Medicare won’t cover features that they don’t consider to be medically necessary. This includes recliner, heat, and massage features. This means that if you want a lift chair that includes these functions, you will need to pay for a portion of the cost.
In order for your lift chair to be covered by Medicare, you need to make sure it is purchased through suppliers that are enrolled in their program. Otherwise, Medicare and supplementary insurances might not cover the cost of your lift chair.
