That sounds like a good idea. I probably already mentioned it but my sons usually wear the onesize fit all type gloves (some are thicker than others) so that...

You need to apply as much pressure possible with DMEs, there is no excuse for them making you wait. Call them daily for updates. I suggest contacting your...
Tom, I just got new chair last week. It took a year and half to get it ordered, first time the guy submitted my order without the doc's letter, then 4 months...
Cody, my supplier wanted to just basically duplicate what I have so that we would not be reinventing the wheel. As far as seating, controls are concerned. We...
Tom, I have severe scoliosis (spine is a S shape), the only why I can sit up, is with a custom molded back made to fit my back. I'm on my third mold. 14yrs. ...
... Cody, on that first line did you mean Medicaid? I ask, because I have never heard of Medicare paying $16k for a new wheelchair. The most they would pay ...
Tom, I know that Medicare won't pay for the upper model chairs (which is absolutely wrong and something we all need to be vocal about) - however, they will...

Dear Adele, I understand that many insurances have the "in the home" rule, precisely because many of the private insurances follow Medicare as a guideline....
I wonder how much of it has to do with the size of the distributor a person is working with, maybe some smaller mom-and-pop shops make progress at a snail's...
Yes, I tried the "pindot" (sp) seating system. At least twice with bad results.. The original molding was so off every time that it was useless. They never...

In CA the state will pay 100% of the wheelchair I believe Todd's cost 25K. It takes us almost a year to get a chair once it has been ordered. It is not...
Jason, what I was saying, is that Medicaid follows Medicare guidelines. The new Permobil C300 falls into the same category as for example, Invacare TDX or...
The molding depends allot on the people doing the mold, and how long you sit in it and if you sit upright while taking the molding. I must admit my molds...
Adele I just wanted to share with you that I got an Arrow Storm TDX in July of 2005. I don't weigh 250 pounds. Well, that's my two cents. Hope all is well with...
Brook, So you mean that Medicare paid for the full cost of your Arrow Storm TDX wheelchair? ... -- Check out my blog at: http://freedomandchoice.blogspot.com ...
Cody, I see what you and Brook are getting at with how your chair(s) met Medicare guidelines which is why Arizona Medicaid paid. However, Medicare does not ...
What I have learned over the past few years is that with every rule, there are exceptions and what happens in one place, doesn't mean it happens all over. The...
If the only insurance you have is Medicare or Medicaid, they will pay the full cost of a new power mobility. But Full price is a fraction of what they charge....
What I don't get, is why do you have Medicare as opposed to Medicaid? Maybe you said before, but I don't recall... When I think of Medicare, I think of...
