La respuesta es sí. Medicare Parte B cubre la renta o la compra de camas ajustables para su uso doméstico, siempre y cuando la cama sea considerada una necesidad médica y haya sido recomendada por un doctor. Generalmente, las camas ajustables son categorizadas como equipo médico duradero (DME), de este modo, estas están cubiertas por la Medicare Parte B junto a otros tipos de DME tales como sillas de ruedas, muletas, entre otros.
El secreto consiste en encontrar un proveedor de equipo médico duradero que acepte Medicare como forma de pago por sus productos. Si consigues alguno que acepte Medicare, lograrás conseguir un recorte al costo y pagarás solo 20% del costo de una cama ajustable, mientras el resto será cubierto por Medicare. Interesantemente, con un plan de seguro suplementario de Medicare, uno puede cubrir el costo de una cama ajustable en su totalidad debido a que este cubre el deducible de la Parte B, así como el 20% de coseguro.
A pesar de que Medicare puede pagar camas ajustables, se debe de cumplir con algunos requerimientos para poder calificar. El primer requerimiento es que el poseer una cama ajustable debe de ser considerada una necesidad médica en casa. Es por eso que es necesario que un médico prescriba la cama ajustable con el propósito de usarse en el hogar.
Una vez que has obtenido la prescripción de un doctor, ahora debes conseguir la cama de parte de un distribuidor aprobado por Medicare. Es importante mencionar que no todos los proveedores de DME aceptan cobertura de Medicare. Tras cumplir con todos los requerimientos, debes de tener en consideración que este solo cubrirá una parte del costo y dependerá del paciente pagar el resto o, de ser posible, utilizar una cobertura médica adicional que cubra el costo restante. Desafortunadamente, Medicare no cubre camas ajustables totalmente eléctricas.
Una vez que se ha considerado una necesidad médica, un proveedor acreditado por Medicare puede realizar la orden para adquirir la cama ajustable. Los proveedores contratados por Medicare te ayudarán a reducir los costos y el precio que la cobertura acordará pagar es siempre previamente acordado por las partes involucradas.
Si compras una cama ajustable de un proveedor que no esté acreditado por Medicare, no recibirás cobertura por el costo. En algunas ocasiones, los proveedores y compañías médicas pueden engañar a las personas para que adquieran equipo médico duradero con ellos a pesar de que estos no sean proveedores acreditados; esto se puede deber a que el representante de ventas puede confundir el servicio que se está ofreciendo o simplemente están intentando incrementar sus ventas. Lo más importante que debes de hacer es siempre contactar a Medicare para obtener una pre-autorización directa.
No solo porque un médico indica que es importante adquirir una cama ajustable, no significa que automáticamente recibirás la aprobación para comprar una. El diagnóstico de un médico es necesario para que el paciente reciba la aprobación, sin embargo, es importante hacer notar que no todo el equipo médico duradero es el mismo.
Algunos tipos de equipo médico duradero no son aprobados, de tal modo que Medicare no pagará por ello. Esto es lo mismo que sucede con las prescripciones médicas, donde algunos recibirán aprobación, mientras otros no. De tal modo que no asumas que Medicare cubrirá todo tipo de camas ajustables, de modo que es buena idea confirmarlo en su sitio web.
