1>You need a prescription from a physical therapist that generally needs specific wording that your local chair company will help guide you with generally on their first visit. 2>Then your local chair company should come with different types, brands, arm rests, seats, seat backs and leg systems for you to try and see which you like. My chair company lent me two different chairs for a week to decide between them. 3>After you’ve decided they will give you a quote and work on getting approval through your insurance.
4>Once approved the then order, build and deliver it. The chair I got 4 months ago was the Permobil m300 <http://www.permobilus.com/m300.php> in which is a mid-wheel chair that I’ve been very happy with. The one thing that my insurance didn’t cover that I had to pay out of pocket for was the seat elevator.
