every 5 years if they qualify for it and there if justification for the need.
will medicade pay for a wheelchair lift
Medicaid may pay for all or part of a wheelchair lift if someone qualifies. It is dependent on what problems you have and what other equipment Medicaid has paid for.
Only a portion of a wheelchair stair lift is covered under Medicaid. The maximum coverage is generally only about 80% of the total cost. Also be aware that maintenance is NOT covered at all.
Yes, but the electric wheelchair must first be shown to be medically necessary - in particular, that the individual cannot use a manual wheelchair.
Medicaid can help pay for an electric wheelchair. Medicare can also be used to subsidize the costs, if Medicaid doesn'tt approve a 100% coverage. Medicare Plan B, for example, can pay to rent or purchase an electric wheelchair if your mom'ss doctor writes her a prescription. It will have to be proven that you Mom will need to wheelchair to get around, both indoors and outdoors, for an honest medical practitioner to write such a prescription.
" If you are under Medicaid and you are in need of an electric wheelchair to make life easier for you to live, you will see that Medicaid will be able to share the cost of buying the equipment or if you are under the managed care plan, you will see that Medicaid will be able to cover all the cost."

Am I allowed to keep money from insurance company
You must obtain license to transport medicaid patients and have a legit business established. You must also have a state approved handicap vehicle to transport.
You can probably get the best deal off of ebay. First I would recommend checking Walmart.com and Amazon.com and seeing how much a full priced wheelchair costs. Both of those stores will offer them at very competitive prices. Other sites to check out are: www.medmarketplace.com and www.used-wheelchairs-usa.com There is an online site called The Wheelchair Site and it sells used wheelchairs. If you have Medicaid or Medicare and the wheelchair is medically necessary, you could request a prescription from your medical doctor. With a perscription for a wheel chair your medicare or medicaid insurance should pay for it.
This will vary somewhat from State to State. However, in general, a group care facility is responsible for providing all the medical services and items that the Medicaid resident requires. Medicaid may pay for exceptions, such as customized wheelchairs, for residents who have a medically documented need.
