Procedure codes E0250*, E0255* and E0260* must be billed when hospital beds are purchased for Medicaid beneficiaries of all ages. Providers must only provide these purchase-only services to beneficiaries who are expected to require the bed for a long period of time. Each procedure code for hospital beds listed above may only be billed once every 10 years.

Procedure codes E0250*, E0255* and E0260* must also be used to bill for equipment that does not meet the purchase-only criteria. They are reimbursed on a capped rental basis. The capped rental items must be used until the equipment is no longer repairable or until it is no longer appropriate for the beneficiary as verified by the physician.
