Permanent Crutches Navigating Life Beyond Limitations

So it starts out with a fixed hospital bed is covered if one or more of the following criteria are met. Okay, so down here are the four criteria. “The beneficiary has a medical condition which requires positioning of the body in ways not feasible with an ordinary bed. Elevation of the head, upper body less than 30 degrees does not usually require the use of a hospital bed.” So basically, what they’re telling you is you can just use a bed wedge and you don’t qualify. So that’s what they’re gonna give you, some sorta wedge or tell you to do a wedge, and that is not covered. The second question is, “The beneficiary must require positioning of the body in ways not feasible with an ordinary bed in order to alleviate pain.” Again, they’re gonna say some sorta bed wedge or something can be done in a regular bed and they’re not gonna cover it. The third one is probably where most people qualify for it but it’s limited to the diagnosis. “The beneficiary requires the head of the bed to be elevated more than 30 degrees most of the time due to congestive heart failure, chronic pulmonary disease, or problems with aspiration,” okay. Then the next one is, “The beneficiary requires traction equipment which can only be attached to a hospital bed.” There’s not many things nowadays that is not free standing. So a trapeze bar is free standing. So they will say, “If you just need the trapeze bar, you can get a free standing trapeze bar.” So they’re not gonna cover the bed based on that. So you’re gonna have to have one of those three diagnoses in order to qualify for it in the most part. So it’s very tough criteria and, you know, we’re seeing more and more people need to rent them for short-term use and things like that, and that’s where we can come in and help you out.

Side rails (E0305, E0310) or safety enclosures (E0316) are covered when they are required by the patient’s condition and they are an integral part of, or an accessory to, a covered hospital bed.

Increased Comfort

2. Heavy-Duty Electric Wheelchairs

Comfort is another crucial aspect of outdoor rollators with seats. Many models feature ergonomically designed handles to minimize strain on the hands and wrists. Additionally, the seats are often padded and positioned at a comfortable height, making it easier for users to sit and rise. Many rollators also come equipped with backpacks or storage baskets, allowing users to carry personal items such as water bottles, snacks, or personal belongings. This convenience enables users to remain self-sufficient during their outings.

In addition to comfort and hygiene, a travel potty seat offers flexibility. It can be used in a variety of settings—from airplane washrooms to campsite toilets—allowing travelers to feel more at ease no matter where they are. This versatility is particularly advantageous for those embarking on road trips, outdoor adventures, or extended travel in various countries where restroom standards may not be ideal.

Easy Maintenance

Heavy duty trapeze equipment (E0911, E0912) is covered if the beneficiary meets the criteria for regular trapeze equipment and the beneficiary’s weight is more than 250 pounds.

Special needs potty seats are designed to accommodate various physical disabilities, including limited mobility, muscle weakness, or developmental delays. Traditional toilets can be difficult for individuals who require additional support or have difficulty with balance or coordination. A special needs potty seat addresses these concerns by providing added safety features and ergonomic designs that cater to the user’s specific requirements.
