Nearly all insurance companies and plans only cover a semi-electric bed, which will raise and lower the head and feet areas but not raise and lower the height of the bed. A fully electric bed however is not covered by insurance. These beds raise and lower the head and feet and also have electric height management, which can make it much easier for users to transfer from wheelchair to bed, or for shorter people or those with a limited range of motion to get into and out of bed more easily. Most hospital beds are 80×36 in. and require twin-long sheets. You can get fully electric beds in different sizes like Full, Queen or even a Split King.

In recent years, the trend towards home healthcare has gained significant momentum. As more patients seek the comfort and familiarity of their own homes during recovery, the demand for specialized equipment has increased, particularly surgical beds. These beds are not only designed for hospitals but are also essential for home care setups where patients require post-operative recovery or chronic care.

In addition to physical adjustments, modern care beds are often equipped with advanced technologies. Some beds feature built-in monitoring systems that allow healthcare providers to track vital signs and other important data remotely. This real-time monitoring enhances patient safety and enables quicker responses in emergencies. Moreover, some care beds incorporate pressure relief systems that redistribute weight to prevent bedsores, a common issue among immobile patients.

In the context of healthcare, the environment plays a critical role in both patient recovery and the efficiency of medical staff. One often overlooked but essential element in hospital design is the dressing table, particularly in treatment rooms and surgical wards. Dressing tables are not just functional furniture; they contribute significantly to the organization, hygiene, and overall atmosphere of a healthcare facility.

Trapeze equipment (E0910, E0940) is covered if the beneficiary needs this device to sit up because of a respiratory condition, to change body position for other medical reasons, or to get in or out of bed.
