   Medicare will cover medically necessary Durable Medical Equipment.  the key here is Medically necessary.  Medicare may pay for a wheelchair for one person but not another, for example, depending on the reason for the wheelchair.  It will pay for diabetic monitors.  It may pay for lift chairs if there is a medical necessity.  You need to have a doctors prescription and any DME must go through an approval process by Medicare.
