A heavy duty extra wide hospital bed (E0301, E0303) is covered if the patient meets one of the criteria for a fixed height hospital bed and the patient’s weight is more than 350 pounds, but does not exceed 600 pounds.

Moreover, plain bed hospitals can play a crucial role in public health initiatives. They are often involved in vaccination drives, maternal and child health programs, and education about preventive care. By focusing on basic healthcare services, these facilities can significantly contribute to reducing health disparities in their communities.
