How to order a hospital bed with Scotts

How it works, step by step

1. Tell us what you need. Call (800) 304-7030, start in the order wizard, or have your clinician send a referral with the documents attached. If you already use a product, the manufacturer code on the box is the most useful thing you can give us: it settles size, style and fit without guesswork.
2. We verify your benefits first. Medicare Part B, Florida Medicaid, Medicare Advantage and most commercial plans. Before anything ships you hear what the plan covers and what your share is, and if it is not covered we say so and quote a private-pay option instead.
3. We collect the order and the documentation from your prescriber. For a hospital bed that usually means:
   • A written order and a face-to-face evaluation
   • Documentation of the medical need — typically that the patient requires positioning that an ordinary bed cannot provide, needs the head elevated above a certain angle, needs traction, or needs to change position frequently and cannot do so in a standard bed
   • Which type of bed — semi-electric versus full-electric — and why
   • Whether rails and a therapeutic mattress are needed, and why
   • Room measurements and access — tell us about stairs, narrow doorways and lifts before delivery day
   You do not chase the paperwork; we do, and we tell you if something is missing.
4. Delivery or shipping. Delivered and set up across South Florida, or shipped across Florida, with the instructions you need and a phone number for the questions that come later.
5. Resupply, if it applies. Supplies that recur are tracked on the policy’s schedule. We check in before each shipment; nothing ships that you did not ask for. How automatic resupply works.

What Medicare looks for

Semi-electric hospital bed is covered under Medicare policy LCD L33820, Hospital Beds and Accessories. In plain words, the chart has to show this: Condition requires body positioning not feasible in an ordinary bed (e.g. Positioning need must be in the medical record, not just the dx. The diagnoses it names include heart failure (positioning need), copd (positioning need), chronic respiratory failure. How often the policy allows a replacement depends on the item: capped rental, 13 months; one-time purchase.

Policies change and plans differ; the link above is the current text. We do not publish allowances or quantity limits here because the number that applies to you depends on your plan and your chart. Ask us and we will tell you yours.
