Re: Insurance for electric wheelchairs

[Guest guest]

Most health insurances do cover power chairs and scooters. The key

is to find an insurance that has manageable amount of " Durable

Medical Equipment " . My health insurance will cover $3,500 for most

durable medical equipment for each year. Also ask your doctor who

would be to prescribing this to find a vendor who will accept your

health insurance.

Medicare (Medicaid in my state, which varies from state to state)

will pay if it's needed medically and once every 4 years. But you

also have to fit certain criteria, which they would be able to tell

you.

If you need more information, feel free to ask.
