In this episode of Home Health & DME, we unpack the discharge-day caregiver checklist to master Medicare Part B rules for oxygen, hospital beds, and walkers. Discover how supplier assignment works, what strict documentation is required, and the exact setup steps that prevent dangerous gaps in care when your loved one arrives home.
Key takeaways:
- Confirm the assigned Medicare supplier accepts the order and schedule same-day delivery for critical items like oxygen
- Verify prescriptions detail flow rates and usage hours before the supplier installs equipment and trains you
- Position the hospital bed near outlets with three feet of clearance on each side and test height adjustments
- Measure hallways to choose a properly fitted walker and adjust handles to wrist level for safe ambulation
- Prepare for weekend delays by keeping the discharge planner's number handy and review the delivery slip for missing accessories
