In some countries in Europe, for example, when a patient leaves the hospital and begins receiving home care, he or she only needs a certificate from the doctor that a pump mattress is required for home use, and insurance will pick up the tab.
例如歐美國家的老人，出院回家療養後，只要醫師開立證明需要氣墊床，醫院就會出借一床，讓病患在家使用，費用則由保險公司支付。
