MY DME WENT OUT OF BUSINESS BECAUSE THEY WERE CHEATING MEDICARE AND CUSTOMERS,
SO i JUST SWITCHED TO ANOTHER DME IN MY AREA, THEY TAKE CARE OF MY NEEDS THRU
OUR PRIVATE INSURANCE... IF THEY GET ( PAID ) WHY WOULD THEY CARE WHERE YOU
BUY THE CHAIR???? THEY CHARGE AN AWFUL LOT FOR ALL REPAIRS,,, PLUS HOPE THAT
YOU WILL BUY YOUR NEXT FROM THEIR COMPANY.

Thanks. This sounds like what I need. Only problem, the cost will come from my
wallet. A rough road any way you go.

I hope by now you've looked at www.roadrunnermobility.com and made
arrangements with them. Be that as it may. You can't imagine the legal
ramifications these days with DME working on wheelchairs not sold by them. The
other side is being reimbursed by CMS for equipment not paid for by CMS. It is
such a major business headache that most DME, 'just say no.'
Since Invacare purchased RoadRunner Mobility in Janurary of this year, most
of the field service is being done by them in North America. This might be
another issue with the local DME as Invacare pays Road Runner less money than
they did the DME for service work done for the provider.
You and so many others may find yourself between a rock and a hard spot
because of this. Hence it is always wise to develop friendships with local
DME's before you need them and not during an emergency.
Again, Best Wishes

First thing I checked. I'm feeling very urinated on and frustrated right now.
There are 3 Invacare dealers within 20 miles of me. None of them will even
look at the chair. Why? Because I didn't buy it there. I bought it from an
individual. You would think a certified dealer would provide service to its
company products, like Ford or Chevy, but not so. Their basic answer was -
tough luck bud, but we'd love to sell you a new one. Greedy jerks. I have no
idea how to get it fixed.

guys, my invacare power chair has died on me. The control box and batteries
are ok because I tested them. Every one of the lights on the control box are
on. The 'gas gauge' is lit from one side to the other and all the power level
lights are on at once. The chair does nothing. Any ideas?
