If this hasn't been your experience, get
a second opinion from a qualified physician who specializes
in rehabilitation.
| How
Prescriptions Function: |
| |
|
A seating and positioning or rehabilitation
specialist needs to know your
diagnosis to begin assessing mobility needs.
|
| |
|
Vendors who sell, rent, or
loan durable medical equipment also require a prescription
for insurance purposes—both yours and theirs.
|
| |
|
A prescription is the qualifying document
an insurance company and Medicare uses to determine
coverage of your mobility device. Each diagnosis has
a code that determines coverage, depending on your policy.
What is covered by insurance will vary from 0- to 100%.
How often you are entitled to a new wheelchair also
varies—every five years is typical.
