My father was discharged from hospice care. We would like to keep the hospital bed or get another one. He has night time urine incontinence and I can't see having him use a regular bed because of this.
He has Medicare Part A & B. Any idea what the cost would be to us to purchase? Hospice will write a doctor's order for him to have one.
How much is the cost? Depends where you buy it. Shop around if you can. And it's very very important that where you purchase it, is an approved place by Medicare. Medicare may cover 80% but if you buy the hospital bed from a company not approved by Medicare, you will be stuck with the cost 100%. (I found out just recently that this also applies for doctors! I now have to make sure that when father goes to the clinic, he must see a Medicare-approved doctor.)
The hospice can give you recommendations on where to purchase the bed.
