Medicare Criteria for Medical Equipment, Scooters and Power Wheelchairs

 

We accept assignment on electric wheelchairs and scooters. If you qualify we deliver the power chair to you and bill Medicare or your private insurance company for payment. Sorry, we do not handle any HMO insurances because they have closed their enrollment and do not want any new dealers. To see if you qualify for a power wheelchair or scooter:

 

1)       Your doctor must complete a form called a Certificate of Medical necessity (CMN).

2)      We must also collect a prescription from your doctor as well as a medical evaluation 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

 

Here is what Medicare states as the medical criteria that must be met in order to qualify:

 

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

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

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

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

 

 

For Medical Equipment all we need is a doctors prescription and on a few other items like hospital beds we need a CMN (Certificate of medical necessity. Don't worry we will get this from your doctor ).  Once we get the prescription we can deliver your items to your home and our tech will teach you about its proper use and maintenance.
