Most bathroom equipment is not covered under this type of insurance except the standard Commode! Medicare considers a bath lift as a non-covered item and will decline your claim in most cases. As silly as it sounds, they feel bath lifts are a "luxury item" and are not deemed a necessity. An item that is denied as non-covered is different than an item that is denied as not medically necessary.
If your claim for a certain Durable Medical Equipment item is denied, that could mean that the item does not meet the coverage criteria in a medical policy or that there is not enough information to prove why you need the item. You can always appeal a medical necessity denial. You cannot appeal a non-covered item. Non-covered items could include hearing aids, syringes, exercise equipment, wigs, Hair Washing Aids etc.
