I checked the invoice for the wheelchair I got in 2010. Cost $31,085, patient portion $0.
I don't know how it is assessed in other states, in Washington it is based on how you score on Personal Care Assessment Key shown here https://www.dshs.wa.gov/altsa/home-and-community-services/information-clients this page show the types of in-home services available https://www.dshs.wa.gov/altsa/home-and-community-services/home-care-adults I have both agency nurses and independent private duty nurses who contract directly with the state, my choice who I hire.
