Is the SleepSafer® TALL Safety Bed covered by Medicaid or insurance?

Frequently asked questions
Does Medicaid cover the SleepSafer® TALL bed?
Medicaid and many private plans cover it when a doctor documents that it is medically necessary, usually through prior authorization. We are in network with Medicaid in Alaska, Arizona (AHCCCS), Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Montana, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Utah and Washington and with major Michigan health plans.
Which SleepSafe® bed height is right?
Choose by how the person moves at night. The SleepSafe® LOW (35¾” floor-to-rail) suits users who roll or slide out of bed; the SleepSafe® II MEDIUM (45¾”) suits users who sit up or kneel; the SleepSafer® TALL (54¾”) suits active climbers; and the SleepSafe® Extension (72″, with an optional top) is for determined climbers. The therapist or doctor writing the letter of medical necessity should explain why the chosen height is needed.
Can the SleepSafer® TALL be made taller later?
Yes. Extension retrofit conversions are available for SleepSafer® TALL beds, which turn the bed into a SleepSafe® Extension with or without a top. A conversion needs its own prescription and approval.
What paperwork does insurance need?
Usually a prescription (written order) from the treating doctor, a letter of medical necessity, recent clinical notes and a copy of the insurance card. The letter should explain the diagnosis, the safety risks during sleep, what has already been tried, and how the bed will be used and supervised. You can upload documents with your eligibility request, or send them later.
