I may purchase one on eBay since the Medicare issue continues. <br /><br />As far as the wheelchair goes, the salesguy that worked with us on it said Medicare does approve more expensive chairs with greater functionality if medical necessity can be proved. As far as I can tell from the Medicare denial papers, it appears the folks that sourced us the chair didn't submit the paperwork in good order.Crankyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07995365444853477833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1555205834524822081.post-72301002388900669792009-11-23T22:48:45.565-05:002009-11-23T22:48:45.565-05:00BR's alternating pressure pad has been an ass ...BR's alternating pressure pad has been an ass saver. The original pad we had sprung a slow leak, so the pad wasn't inflating to the proper pressure, and a wound started forming almost overnight. Only the bout with incontinence over the summer and associated Depend usage did more damage to the butt skin.<br /><br />Can't say enough good things about the Roho cushions. Both BR and my mother use them and are very happy. They even make one for toilet/shower chairs that will likely be on the Christmas list.<br /><br />Good luck with Medicare. If you are successful, let us know how. It seems their standard limit on power chair expense is around $4000.stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18134766859291227041noreply@blogger.com
