I truly hope you can get what you want. More so, I hope you get what you need. It might be a Pride Quantum Product, or it could be an Invacare, Sunrise Med or Permobil product. I hope you are working with an Occupation Therapist in obtaining a power chair that meets your physical needs and goals. Determine a specification and then present it to the mobility industry and see what comes back. If speed is your only tangible goal... then go with the 8 mph motors and hope your insurance approves them. Best Wishes In a message dated 5/12/2015 3:13:29 P.M.

I need a new chair pretty soon. This one is falling apart. The repair shop said it's at the point it's costing more to keep it going. It needs motors, batteries, recline actuators. they all still work, just not great. My insurance covers 80%, but my 20% is still a big expense. The chair shop use to help out with co-pays, but now they have contracts with the insurance companies that say they wont do that anymore. I guess that prevents more people from getting chairs, keeps their costs down. I'm on a Medicare replacement program United Healthcare. I do not qualify for Medicaid. Anyone know of any type of secondary insurance that would help? I'm liking the Quantum 6000Z, 8mph. Greg
