QUESTION: I presently have a medidyne bed with a mattress very similar to the one mentioned above. I spend 22 to 23 hours in bed with 8 spinal masses, brain tumor, etc. Do you work with Medicare and Medicaid as the secondary insurance. Another company tried to tell me I had to "down grade" to a regular mattress. I have had too many bed sores, etc. My physician has given a blanket order to give me what I want. I also found from Medicare that you can't go backwards but get the newest bed similar to what you already have. If you do take my insurance, please, please call me today. I have multiple surgeries starting on the 12th and there are a very large number of people working to get what I need. Thank you in advance ANSWER: We are sorry that Medicare will not cover purchase of these mattresses. All customers paid by themselves. Physician's prescription does help in this case.
