Medicare Part B may cover durable medical equipment (DME) and home health services for qualifying beneficiaries. Coverage for in-bed shower systems depends on medical necessity documentation.
The Bed Shower Wibby™ may qualify as Durable Medical Equipment (DME) under Medicare Part B for homebound patients with documented medical necessity. Coverage requires a physician's order and assignment to a Medicare-enrolled DME supplier. Typical patient cost-share: 20% after the Part B deductible.
For patients in Medicare-certified SNFs, in-bed showering may be covered as part of the daily skilled nursing rate under Part A. The facility bears the cost of hygiene equipment and services during the covered stay.
Many Medicare Advantage plans offer supplemental benefits beyond Original Medicare, including personal care and hygiene services. Coverage varies significantly by plan and carrier. Contact your plan's member services to verify in-bed shower coverage.
1. Obtain a physician's written order documenting medical necessity. 2. Confirm your DME supplier is Medicare-enrolled. 3. Submit a prior authorization request if required by your plan. 4. Contact Bed Shower™ at (877) 763-7291 for assistance with documentation.
