Same here Dianna. Any logic that costs more in beginning funding goes right over the heads of the bean counters that decide what you will and won't get. Please do try to apply for an Ibot. The people at Medicare and Medicaid will insist that they do not discriminate unless you make them put it in writing and get names. They insist that they do pay for any device that is appropriate and nesicary, but they have not bought Ibots or any of a dozen other models of chairs except in cases where the actual cost is payed by other entities. I wish you the best of luck. I had planned on getting paperwork ready for an Ibot just to prove they do not pay for higher quality chairs and that is why we pay for chairs that aren't reliable enough for people to make it to work regularly.
