Hi Bobbie,
I just went through the same process with my doctor. All I did was tell my doctor that I wanted a chair that would meet all of my medical needs or I just wouldn't bother to get a chair that wouldn't meet my medical needs. It worked great for me so give it a try. Good luck and stay strong.
With Love,

Hi All,I ordered a brand new power chair and this morning Dr. Kay, the Medicaid Doctor, called and said she want's to come over to my apartment and meet me to discuss my new power chair order.What should I say? What shouldn't I say?The power chair I'm in now is only 5 years old BUT it malfunctions a lot, like stopping whenever it wants to. It also move's on it's own and it tip backwards very easily.In December 2005 I had an MRI that showed I have a syrinx on C 6 and osteoporosis in my neck.OH, and I've ordered a tilt for the very first time in 33 years.What would you guys do and not do to get this new power chair approved?~ Bobbie ~
