Greg, on my last chair my 20% came to about 3 thousand dollars....If we put 800
down my chair shop said I could make payments on the remainder, SO I looked
into ways to get my downpayment and decided on a fundraiser to get the 800
down....there was several fundraisers I looked into at that time because I had
zero for the down payment at that time. We decided to have one selling
Tupperware and the Tupperware Agent worked with us and we got the 800 down, for
the rest I paid the Chair provider shop about a hundred a month until I paid
off my share. Funny thing is my chair now is getting old, so by fall I may need
to get another one. Dan H***

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.
