By chance do you still have the wheelchair. I am at the stage of needing a power chair and my insurance only covers a fraction of what one costs.

Thank you,

Jim - Have you qualified for Medicare yet? Medicare will cover one pwc... Just a thought.

I am looking ibto medicare. Do you know how much they will cover for equipment costs?

Thank you

If you get straight Medicare, the last time I looked, they will cover 80%. That leaves you with 20 and that 20 can be a lot for a PWC. If you go with a Medicare Advantage Plan, look closely at what they cover for DME, as some plans are now going with a 70/30 split, instead of 80/20. If you can't afford the 20%, be sure and ask the PWC distributor about "financial need or waiver" program.

Also remember that there is a waiting period of 5 months for Medicare, even after the date of approval.
