Does Medicare Cover Wheelchairs?

Almost daily customers will ask if Medicare will cover a manual wheelchair.  Medicare has very clear criteria to qualify for a manual wheelchair, whether it is a

• standard wheelchair
• lightweight wheelchair
• high strength wheelchair
• or heavy duty wheelchair. 

First and foremost, you must have a prescription and doctors notes that meet Medicare's requirements.  We work with your doctor to make sure all documents qualify.  After you qualify, we will dispense your wheelchair that Medicare and a secondary insurance will rent for 13 months.  Kind of like a rent to own.  After 13 months of rental, the wheelchair becomes yours to keep! 

But never fear! If your doctors notes do not qualify, you can privately rent or purchase a wheelchair at anytime.  Just come in or call us anytime!  We are always here to help, and YES we deliver!
