In Colorado, Medicare Part B may cover the cost of medically necessary durable medical equipment (DME) for beneficiaries who meet certain eligibility requirements. Bathroom grab bars may be covered under Medicare as DME if they are deemed medically necessary by a healthcare provider.
To be eligible for coverage, the grab bars must be prescribed by a healthcare provider as necessary for the treatment of a medical condition or illness. They must also meet certain criteria for durability and function, and must be used in the home.
However, it’s important to note that not all bathroom grab bars will be covered by Medicare. For example, decorative or non-medical grab bars may not be covered. It’s also important to consult with your healthcare provider and Medicare representative to determine your specific eligibility for coverage of bathroom grab bars under Medicare in Colorado.
