Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Hoyer Lift, and why is the term used for many patient lifts?

Hoyer Lift is a popular brand from Joerns Healthcare, but it's often used generically (like "Kleenex" for tissues) to refer to any patient lift device that safely transfers individuals with limited mobility. Our best-selling collection includes authentic Hoyer models plus comparable full body, sit-to-stand, and stand assist lifts from trusted brands like Best Care, ETAC (Molift), Dansons, and Proactive Medical.

What is the difference between a full body patient lift and a sit-to-stand lift?

A full body patient lift (often called a Hoyer lift) uses a sling to fully support and lift a person from lying or seated positions—ideal for those with little to no weight-bearing ability. A sit-to-stand lift (or stand assist) helps users who can bear some weight rise from sitting to standing or take short steps—great for rehab, toileting, or building strength. Both types are featured in our best-sellers, including Hoyer Advance, Hoyer Journey, and alternatives like Molift Quick Raiser or BestStand models.

Can one person operate a Hoyer Lift or patient lift safely?

Yes, most modern electric patient lifts (including many Hoyer models) are designed for single-caregiver use with intuitive controls, battery power, and emergency stops. Manual hydraulic options may require more effort but are still manageable solo. Always follow manufacturer guidelines, use proper slings, and ensure the caregiver is trained for safe transfers.

Do I need special slings for these lifts?

Yes—slings are essential for secure, comfortable transfers. We offer Hoyer Classic Slings in various styles (U-sling, padded, mesh, amputee, commode, etc.) compatible with Hoyer and most other brands in our collection. Match the sling to the lift type and user for best results.

How do I choose the right patient lift for my needs?

Consider the user's weight capacity (e.g., 340–700 lbs), mobility level (full support vs. partial weight-bearing), environment (home space, tight doorways), and power type (electric for ease, manual for cost). Popular picks include the portable Hoyer Advance Electric Portable Patient Lift for versatility or the Hoyer Journey Sit-to-Stand for active assistance. Our team can help—contact us for personalized recommendations!

How portable are these patient lifts for home use?

Many top models fold easily without tools (e.g., Hoyer Advance, BestLift PL400EF) for storage or transport. Electric portable designs weigh under 100 lbs with wheels for maneuvering through doorways. Sit-to-stand options like the Hoyer Journey or Dansons SA350 are compact for everyday home environments.

Is training required to use a Hoyer Lift or similar patient lift?

While not always mandatory, proper training is highly recommended for safety. Many users learn via manufacturer videos, our product guides, or professional OT/PT sessions. Key tips: position the base correctly, secure the sling properly, and communicate with the user during lifts.

Are these best-selling lifts covered by insurance or Medicare?

Many patient lifts, including Hoyer Lifts and equivalent models in our best-selling collection, qualify as Durable Medical Equipment (DME) and may be covered under Medicare Part B, Medicaid (varies by state), or private insurance plans (such as Aetna, Cigna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Humana, and others) when prescribed as medically necessary for improving mobility and safety in the home. Coverage typically requires documentation of medical need, such as a face-to-face exam, prescription from a qualified practitioner, and proof that the lift addresses limitations in mobility-related activities of daily living (e.g., transfers for bathing, grooming, or toileting) that can't be resolved with simpler aids like canes or walkers.
Eligibility and reimbursement processes differ by insurer:

Medicare: Often covers 80% after deductible if criteria are met (e.g., home use only, safe operation demonstrated).

Medicaid: State-dependent; frequently requires prior authorization and medical justification.

Private insurers (Aetna, Cigna, etc.): May reimburse after private pay if you submit receipts, prescriptions, and supporting medical records—often within specific timeframes.

We recommend consulting your healthcare provider and insurance plan directly to confirm coverage specifics for your situation.
