I have yet to meet an old electric wheelchair that could not be repaired or restored. My advise it to contact Medicare/Medicaid (CMS) in your state for the updated procedure of obtaining a new chair. Yes, it begins with a face to face with your doctor. Hopefully a MD that specializes in Rehab Medicine. Yes, a face to face with a licensed Occupational Therapist. Yes, a doctors order for new chair. Depending on your physical condition, your medical needs and finding a manufacturer that can meet those goals, it can take several months. Best Wishes In a message dated 3/2/2016 11:34:36 A.M.
