What is the form for filing medicare claim for lift chair?
Medicare will not cover the whole cost of a lift chair, but will cover 80% of the lift mechanism, usually around $280. Since these products are usually sold "on assignment" you'll have to pay the full price up-front and then file for your reimbursement from Medicare. Your supplier should be able to provide you with form CMS-849 - the Certificate of Medical Necessity for Seat Lift Mechanisms or it can be downloaded from the CMS website.
