"Medicare could cover 80% of the cost of your power chair or scooter. And if you have supplemental insurance, it may cover the remaining 20%. That means the mobility you need could cost you little to nothing!"
Medicaid does not always cover the cost of a power chair. However, if the client is in extreme pain and spends a large majority of their time one spends in a wheelchair at home Medicaid may contribute to the cost.
Depends on what time of plan you have. Medicare Advantage usually 80%, medicare + med supp pay 100%
