Criteria for Electric Wheelchairs

We do accept assignment on electric wheelchairs. This means that if you qualify, we will deliver the power chair to you, and bill Medicare or your private insurance company for payment. Sorry, we do not handle any HMO insurances. To see if you qualify for a power wheelchair, your doctor must complete a form called a Certificate of Medical Necessity (CMN) . We must also collect a prescription from your doctor as well as a Medical Face to Face Evaluation form completed by your doctor or physical therapist. The way that your doctor answers the questions on the CMN will determine if the power wheelchair is a medical necessity. Listed below is what Medicare states as the medical criteria that must be met in order to qualify:

An electric wheelchair is usually covered when all of the following criteria are met:

bullet

The patient's condition is such that without the use of a wheelchair the patient would be bed or chair confined, and

bullet

The patient's condition is such that a wheelchair is medically necessary and the patient is unable to operate a wheelchair manually, and

bullet

The patient is capable of safely operating the controls for the scooter or power wheelchair
