Additionally, hospital-style recliner chairs can play an important emotional role in patient care. A comfortable and inviting chair can make a medical environment feel less intimidating, helping to alleviate fear and anxiety. This is particularly beneficial for pediatric patients or those receiving treatment for chronic conditions. When patients feel comfortable, they are more likely to engage positively with their treatment and recovery processes.

For any of the above hospital beds (plus those coded E1399 – see Policy Article Coding Guidelines), if documentation does not support the medical necessity of the type of bed billed, payment will be based on the allowance for the least costly medically appropriate alternative.

Hospital bedside rolling tables are designed to be both practical and versatile. They typically feature adjustable heights, allowing them to accommodate patients in various positions—whether seated in bed or lying down. The rolling mechanism enables easy movement, allowing healthcare providers to easily position the table for optimal accessibility. This flexibility ensures that patients can have their essential items—like water, medication, or reading materials—within reach, fostering a sense of comfort and control.
