Medicare paid for 80% of my Permobil and my supplemental insurance cover the other 20%. I had to drop the supplemental insurance about 4 1/2 years ago because they got too expensive so now, if I were to getting new chair, I would be personally responsible for the other 20%.
When I got my Permobile... I contacted a physical therapist that I knew personally and who I knew would write up a great letter to convince Medicare up of need for a new power chair and the one I wanted.
