Asking for a prescription for a wheelchair

[Guest guest]

Okay everyone,

I found out my insurance that I have right now will pay 100% for a

wheelchair and/or even a motorized scooter with precertification. I

don't need precertification for the regular wheelchair, just a

prescription. I sooo want to get one, but feel so foolish asking my

doctor for the prescription. I go on Medicare in November and feel I

should really get the wheelchair now especially where I am getting my

cast on my left foot Monday. What do you gals and guys think? I

think the regular wheelchair would be much easier to transport etc.,

but still don't know how to go about asking for the prescription. I

feel silly just like when I ride in a scooter at the store.

Any feedback is appreciated.

Thanks,
