Dan the reason you had to pay, could have been how your chair was coded by CMS. If you exceed the pay code, You have to pay the difference, unless you can come up with a letter from your doctor for medical necessity. Best Wishes In a message dated 8/17/2014 5:10:41 P.M.

I'm on medicare and even with that I had to pay $3,000 out of pocket on my last chair about 4 years ago. Good Luck, not sure about the medicaid insurance though.

I looked up my wheelchair place where i always been getting them from and they told me they no longer accept medicaid because of budget cuts. I want to know what i should do next. I know they cant possibly deny a quad a wheelchair. What do you guys do? thank you and keep on rolling.
