I'm not sure on the TDX prices but in january of 2001 my insurance paid $ 
18,000 for my Invacare Arrow, it only has tilt and leg lift---I don't need sip 
n puff. Mine will be 9 years old in January and now our insurance claims they 
only pay $ 5,000 total on ANY chair anymore. I'm worried because this chair is 
getting old and wearing down, and 5 grand will not even be one third of the 
price on a new one.  good luck, Dan H.

Subject: [QUAD-L] Invacare TDX 5 wheelchair


I have a question if anyone can give me information from the past. What would 
have been the price for a TDX 5 Invacare wheelchair -- Sip & Puff in 2003 when 
they were made?

I know this sounds silly. But I am being sued by the provider of this 
wheelchair to me when I received it in 2003. It seems as though my insurance 
did not fully cover it and it was an out of network expense. Well first of all 
I would have never accepted such an agreement. But we all know how insurance 
companies and the health care industry max out prices. Now I am being sued for 
$14,000.

If anyone has any data or pricing of what this chair should have cost. They 
charged me $23,000. My contention is I'm sure it did not cost that much.
I thank anyone for their help, Gary
