Yes, a mattress typically comes with a Medicare-covered hospital bed, but it must meet specific Medicare criteria. The mattress is usually a standard foam or gel type designed for hospital use. It's essential to ensure that the bed and mattress are prescribed by a healthcare professional and meet Medicare's medical necessity requirements for coverage. Always check with your supplier for details on what is included with the rental or purchase.

How often will medicare replace a hospital bed mattress?
Medicare typically covers the replacement of a hospital bed mattress every five years, provided that the mattress is deemed medically necessary and shows signs of wear or damage. To qualify for replacement, the patient must have a condition that necessitates the use of a hospital bed and mattress, such as pressure ulcers or other medical issues. It's essential for the healthcare provider to document the need and submit the appropriate claims for coverage. Always check with Medicare or your provider for specific eligibility and coverage details.

Will Medicare cover orthopedic tempur pedic mattresses?
No not a mattress for a normal bed whether tempur-pedic or otherwise. They will cover 80% of a hospital bed and Tempur-Pedic does make a mattress for this style of bed. With a very specific prescription Medicare may cover 20% of that mattress but you have to pay for it up front and Medicare MAY reimburse you or the provider (like a home health store) the 20%. I just spent 3 days researching this very subject and Medicare will not cover the cost of a "normal" mattress even with a doctor's prescription. By this I mean I have a prescription in my hand that states I need to have a posturpedic firm - extra firm mattress or a Tempur-pedic or other memory foam type mattress, after contacting three different home health companies (they provide hospital beds, replacement hospital bed mattresses, lifts etc.) that all told me they have never heard of Medicare paying for a normal mattress so I decided to contact Medicare directly. I talked to three different people and all of them said the same thing. A hospital bed would be covered if my doctor prescribes one, however no normal mattress is covered for any reason. There are some mattresses and Mattress covers provided for patients with ulcers of the skin etc. but they have to be waterproof and other restrictions apply. For a closer inspection of your own look under Pressure Reducing Support Surfaces - *Group 1 Group 2 and Group 3 At http://www.medicare.gov and you will have to put in your own state and narrow it down from there. *Group 1 is as close as your going to get to a mattress and Medicare will only pay for waterproof mattresses under this group.
