Hello all,
I am preparing to order a power wheelchair and have found the many discussions here on ALS Forums on this subject so very helpful. One question for any of you in the Seattle/Olympia, WA area: Do have any recommendations for a top quality/service power wheelchair DME? Thank you!

It depends on your plan's network and where you are exactly (for example, you will get way less willingness to come to you in certain areas based on traffic/parking, besides normal distance considerations, but if your wheelchair isn't dead, you can meet in the middle sometimes).

But I will say from having worked in the industry here as well as having been a CALS, I would probably have fewest objections to Norco, Bellevue Healthcare, and Olympic Pharmacy, in no particular order. The first two have multiple locations; the third is in Gig Harbor. Of course, there is always staff turnover so ymmv.

The big ones are NSM and Numotion. Your clinic may guide you to one or the other of those, but you can see what your options are on line first at your plan's directory.
 
Wonderful, thank you so much! I live on the peninsula so am familiar with both Olympic Pharmacy and Bellevue Healthcare.
