| What Medicare covers | What the patient pays |
| Durable medical equipment | |
| Air-fluidized beds | The patient pays 20% of the Medicare-approved amount after paying Medicare Part B deductible for the year. Medicare pays the other 80%. The Medicare-approved amount is the lower of the actual charge for the item or the fee Medicare sets for the item. However, the amount the patient pays may vary because Medicare pays for different kinds of durable medical equipment in different ways. Some equipment may be able to be rented or purchased. |
