They paid for my power chair 100%. Difficult to find a vendor who'll "take the chance" that Medicare will pay them in full as Medicare WILL NOT say so up front. Dumb but that's our government.
If Medicare paid for the chair .. they'll pay for repairs on it. Including batteries.
I doubt highly they cover conversions ... not a medical expense.
I'm unsubbing indefinitely while on the wound vac.

I have a question as to what Medicare will and will not pay. Hopefully
some on the list will have the answers.
When a power chair is needed, will Medicare pay for it and will
they pay for a lock down for driving at the same time?
Does Medicare pay for repairs to wheelchairs?
Does Medicare cover batteries?
Does Medicare cover any repairs on Handicapped IMS conversions?
Thanks
Glenn
