But is the wheelchair even billed??? I don't think so, right?

Looking into some CMS documents, I think it'd fall under the category of rented durable medical equipment, and there would be charges if such equipment is used inpatient. But I'll be frank that figuring out what hospitals actually charge for is kinda hell. I've been on the backend of these billing systems, and they are quite arcane.
