Standard Power Chairs are the most common power chair products covered by Medicare, assuming you meet the weight requirements (up to 300 pounds). Beyond that weight limit, there are other heavy duty or bariatric options.
Depends on your condition. Power wheelchairs have very strict guidelines that have to be met before any coverage is allowed. Make sure you go to your doctor before you try to purchase one from places like Hoveround or Scooter Stores, or what have you, or you'll never get it covered.

it pays for medical insurance like medicine and wheelchairs.
I had to do a little bit of searching. The first site I went was http://www.hoveround.com/medicare-and-wheelchairs. Then I went to this site http://www.medicare.gov/Publications/Pubs/pdf/11046.pdf. Yes Medicare will cover mobility if you meet all of there requirements. As stated in the last link by medicare.
Medicaid and Medicare may help cover some of the costs of your wheelchair if you qualify. However, there are also other programs that can help out with the cost. You can visit http://www.ehow.com/way_5731593_paying-lift-chair.html for more information.
No Medicare does not cover surgical stockings
Does medicare cover willow curve
"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!"
Does Medicare cover hormone replacement for woman
every Medicare advantage plan is different, but they must cover what original Medicare would cover. Cataract surgery with an intraocular implant is very common and Medicare covers it regularly.
Medicare C (Medicare Advantage or Medigap) is private insurance that you choose and pay for, to cover expenses not covered by Medicare A & B, such as copays, deductibles etc.
Medicare doesn't cover the complete cost of anything.
