Medicare Liaison Service:

The Medicare qualification process can be confusing and time-consuming. That's why Medicare Power Wheelchairs has in-house Medicare experts who will take your information and accurately determine whether or not you qualify for Medicare reimbursement. If you do qualify, we'll even complete your paperwork for no additional charge!
 

The following questions will help you determine whether or not you'd like us to seek Medicare reimbursement for your scooter or power chair.

1. Is your upper body weak?
2. Is your upper body weakness caused by a neurological (nervous system) problem, muscular condition or heart disease?
3. Are you seeing one or more of the following types of doctors: physical medicine, orthopedic surgeon, neurologist or rheumatologist?
4. Does your medical condition require you to utilize a wheelchair? In other words, do you need a wheelchair to move around your house?
5. Without your wheelchair, would you be confined to a bed or chair?
6. Are you unable to operate your wheelchair manually?
7. Do you believe you can safely operate the controls of a power wheelchair?
8. Do you believe that your medical condition will require you to use a power wheelchair or scooter for at least six months?

Did you answer "Yes" to every question? If so, please call us toll free at 1-800-308-8010  and ask to talk to a Medicare liaison.

Medicare will deny a scooter as not medically necessary when it is needed only for use outside the home. A scooter that is beneficial primarily in allowing the patient to perform leisure or recreational activities will be denied as not medically necessary.
