Clinical Guidelines for Prescribing Cubby Beds
Before moving forward, consider if the patient meets the following criteria:
- Demonstrated safety risks: elopement/wandering, entrapment or self-injurious behaviors.
- Concerns regarding nighttime safety: risk of injury, lack of supervision or unsafe sleep environment.
- Insurance coverage: patient is enrolled in Medicaid, a Medicaid waiver or private insurance.
If these apply, continue with the prescription and documentation steps below.
- Provide a prescription (Rx) for a “Cubby Safety Bed (enclosed safety bed)” if medically necessary.
- Be sure to clearly document patient’s diagnosis, safety concerns, failed alternatives and expected clinical benefit from the Cubby Bed.
- Incomplete or vague LMNs are the most common cause of insurance delays. Reference our sample LMN outline by clicking here.
- Direct families to the Cubby Supplier Locator Map.
- Once a supplier is chosen, send both the prescription and LMN directly to the supplier.
- The supplier will manage the insurance submission and approval process on behalf of the family.
