Clarifies Relationship Between Electric Wheelchairs and Medicare
by Kent Pinkerton
According to e-ElectricWheelchairs.com, electric wheelchairs are very
expensive and therefore, it can be a difficult decision whether to buy one.
(PRWEB) October 15, 2005 -- According to e-ElectricWheelchairs.com, electric
wheelchairs are very expensive and therefore, it can be a difficult decision
whether to buy one. However, Medicare usually covers up to 80% of the cost of
electric wheelchairs. Any secondary insurance company will usually cover the
rest.
According to e-ElectricWheelchairs.com, to obtain Medicare for electric
wheelchairs, certain criteria have to be met:
1. The person's condition is such that, a wheelchair or scooter is a must for
mobility.
2. The person cannot operate a manual wheelchair, hence an electric wheelchair
or an electric scooter is required.
3. The person is capable of safely operating the controls of a wheelchair or
scooter.
4. The person can safely transfer in and out of a wheelchair or scooter.
5. The person has adequate trunk stability to safely ride a wheelchair or
scooter.
6. The person has not purchased a wheelchair or scooter and obtained
reimbursement for that purchase within the last five 5 years.
7. Medicare must be the primary insurance carrier for filing the initial claim
with them.
8. If Medicare had covered the cost of a manual wheelchair previously, that
chair should be returned to the company for claiming the cost of an electric
wheelchair from Medicare.
As e-ElectricWheelchairs.com explains, if all of these criteria are met, then
the person seeking support from Medicare should provide a description of the
functional limitations affecting the patient, which supports the medical
necessity of the POV; patient diagnosis requiring the POV. This information must
be furnished on letterhead or other documentation, which identifies the
specialty of the ordering physician. The recommendation for a wheelchair for
which reimbursement is requested needs to be ordered by a neurologist,
orthopedic surgeon, rheumatologist, or rehabilitation medicine specialist.
Medicare supports up to 80 percent of allowable charges however, reimbursement
amounts vary from state to state. $100.00 is deductible yearly for Medicare's
Part B. All Medicare claims are settled within 30 days. For guaranteed
assurance, it is better to fill out a pre-approval form from Medicare.
