There are limits but Medicare might pay for a handicap chair lift. Your physician must prescribe one for you based on an ailment you have and it must assist you in your daily living for it to be covered.
If your elderly grandparents are on Medicare or qualify for services and they would medically benefit from having a lift chair then Medicare will help pay for the chair.
Medicare will no longer reimburse the entire cost of the lift chair but it will pay for the cost of the lifting mechanism. Under Medicare, the lift mechanism is considered durable medical equipment (DME) which is covered if your doctor prescribes it for use in your home. The total amount of reimbursement can vary from state to state, but it is usually around $300.
I suggest that you contact a retailer of lift chairs - they will know what's covered. If they claim that the chair is covered but they're not willing to submit the claim, find another retailer.
