Did you ever think you would be in prison? For many being immobile is worse than prison.
At least in prison, you get to go outside once a day.
Even worse than being locked in-doors is the daily humility of depending on others for even the most minor things like getting a drink or snack from the kitchen.
No one knows the suffering of being too proud to ask for help like someone who is bed ridden.
Even going to the bathroom is a challenge.
Don't despair, there is a solution.
Most insurance companies and medicare will pay some or all of the cost of getting an electric wheelchair or scooter.
The qualifying is rather simple.
You basically need your doctor to fill out a form that says you need the chair.
That's really about it.
Many companies advertise that if insurance refuses to pay for your chair, they will give it to you free.
How can they do that? The fine print reads if you qualify and the insurance company turns you down, they will give you the chair or scooter free.
The key word here is you must qualify.
If you qualify, why would your insurance company ever turn you down? This is why its important for you to get some help handing your claim.
If you fill in the blanks with what you think they are looking for, you are very likely to make a mistake that could cost your freedom and dignity.
What I mean here is you wont get your electric wheelchair or scooter.
Luckily some of the largest wheelchair distributors have an insurance claims department much like you find in a hospital.
Their job is to make sure you fill in the forms correctly.
This is a win-win situation.
They sell a chair that is paid by the insurance company, you get your new chair for free.
Just think what life will be like when you regain your mobility.
You wont have to ask anyone to get up to get you a drink of water or a snack from the kitchen.
You won't need help getting to the bathroom.
The best part is you'll be able to get out of the house! You can go shopping or just sit in the yard in the bright summer sun!
