Real Cost of a Wheelchair Van?
Wheelchair vans, whether new or used, can be an expensive purchase to make these days just like the purchase of other cars. These vans can run you a little more money because of the extra equipment designed specifically for handicapped persons who wish to drive the vans while also storing their wheelchair in the back. Wheelchair vans typically last no longer than 10 years at a time so this is an important investment that should not be taken lightly. Before making a purchase, one should find out as much as possible about the different brands of wheelchair vans, their accessories, and what repairs could cost during the years of ownership.A brand new wheelchair van, hot off the assembly line, can run you anywhere from $21,000 to $41,000 give or take a couple of thousand dollars at either end of the spectrum. If you are looking to purchase a wheelchair van that has already been designed as a wheelchair van and does not need to be converted then you will spend money somewhere in the range provided earlier. If you are looking to purchase a regular minivan or van and then convert it into a wheelchair van on your own then you are looking at somewhat higher costs. The price range varies greatly from person to person depending on what type of equipment they use and how much they are willing to spend. Sometimes you can save money this way but not using the most expensive, high end equipment available on the market today.An important option for you to use when purchasing a new wheelchair van is to investigate the options provided by Medicare. Medicare will provide some people with the opportunity to purchase a new wheelchair van or be transported in a wheelchair van depending on the severity of the patient. In Medicare Part B, a doctor can prescribe for a patient to be transported to and from their home and their doctor’s office by a wheelchair van for no extra cost if it is in the best interest of the patient’s health.In some cases, Medicare Part B will pay for the conversion of a minivan or van to a wheelchair van but not pay for the van itself. This means that Medicare will provide money for someone to turn a normal van they purchased into a wheelchair van. Medicare will cover the expenses for purchasing the equipment and the installation of the equipment into the van. The only money that you would need to provide is the money for the actual purchase of the vehicle itself.
