    Medicare Part B covers hospital beds as a type of durable medical equipment (DME) - it must be prescribed for use in your home by a doctor and the doctor is enrolled in Medicare.

    Medicare will generally cover 80% of the expenses with you responsible for the other 20%. You will want to find out if the supplier accepts assignment (accepting the Medicare-approved amount as payment in full) - if they do not, you would be responsible for any excess charges. I highly recommend securing a Plan F or G Medicare supplement to cover any excess charges.
