BUYING VS RENTING GUIDE

Should You Rent or Buy Hospital Beds?

Should you rent or buy a hospital bed? For surgical recoveries under 6 months, renting is almost always the more economical choice. For chronic long-term conditions exceeding 12 months, purchasing or using Medicare's 13-month capped rental program provides maximum value.

Types of Hospital Beds Available

We supply every clinical configuration to match patient needs and room layouts: • **Semi-Electric Beds:** Head and foot sections adjust electrically via a hand control, while overall bed height is adjusted with a manual crank. This is Medicare's baseline covered model. • **Full-Electric Beds:** Head, foot, and entire deck height adjust motorized at the touch of a button. Essential when caregivers need to raise the bed to waist height for transfers or linen changes. • **Hi-Lo Low Beds:** Specially engineered to lower nearly to floor level (such as the Joerns WeCare), dramatically reducing fall injury risk for patients with dementia or mobility deficits. • **Wall-Hugger Beds:** Innovative frames (like the Med Mizer Retractabed) that retract toward the wall as the head elevates, preserving floor space and keeping nightstands within easy arm reach. • **Bariatric Hospital Beds:** Heavy-duty reinforced frames with widths up to 48 inches and weight capacities from 600 to 1,000 lbs. • **Manual Beds:** Crank-operated beds for situations where electrical power is unavailable.

Medicare Coverage Criteria for Hospital Beds

Medicare Part B covers 80% of an approved hospital bed under durable medical equipment (DME) when your doctor certifies medical necessity. Common qualifying criteria include: 1. A medical condition requiring head elevation >30 degrees (e.g., congestive heart failure, COPD, severe gastroesophageal reflux, or aspiration risk). 2. A clinical need to change body positions to relieve severe pain or prevent pressure sores. 3. The need for traction equipment that can only attach to a hospital bed frame. 4. Recovery following complex surgery requiring positioning not achievable in an ordinary bed. Medicare treats hospital beds as a 'capped rental' item: Medicare pays monthly rent for 13 months, after which ownership transfers to the patient. We handle the physician order, benefit verification, and claim submission.

Same-Day Delivery & In-Home Assembly

When discharge happens on short notice, waiting days for equipment is not an option. From our Downers Grove warehouse, we provide same-day or next-day delivery throughout Naperville, Oak Brook, Bolingbrook, Westmont, Lombard, Aurora, and the greater Chicago suburbs. Our professional technician sets up the frame, tests the motor system, installs half or full safety rails, fits the mattress, and trains family caregivers on hand control operation.

Mattresses & Support Surfaces

A hospital bed frame requires a compatible clinical mattress. Standard innerspring mattresses come with every standard bed delivery. For patients spending most of the day in bed, we provide Medicare-approved Group 1 and Group 2 pressure-reducing support surfaces (foam, gel, or alternating pressure pumps) to prevent and treat decubitus pressure ulcers.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions About Hospital Beds

How fast can you deliver a hospital bed to my home in Naperville or Downers Grove?

We offer same-day and next-day delivery. If your doctor sends the order or you call us by midday, we can often have the bed assembled in your bedroom before the patient arrives home from the hospital.

What does Medicare pay toward a hospital bed in Illinois?

Medicare Part B pays 80% of the approved allowable rental fee for a semi-electric bed once your deductible is met. You or your secondary insurance pays the remaining 20% (typically around $30/month). We verify your exact benefits before delivery.

Can I upgrade from semi-electric to full-electric?

Yes. While Medicare standard coverage is for semi-electric, you can pay a modest monthly or one-time upgrade fee to receive a full-electric bed. We disclose all out-of-pocket costs clearly upfront.
