This means if a person only needs help going to the grocery store, the
shopping mall or someplace else outside the home, Medicare will not pay for
an power wheelchair. The person must have at least one daily living activity
need inside the home to be considered for an power wheelchair.
If a person needs mobility assistance inside the home to perform daily
living activities, the next thing Medicare is going to examine is if a
person can get by safely with a cane, walker or
manual wheelchair. Since these are
less expensive items, Medicare wants to try them first. Many people may be
able to get around with a cane or walker for part of the day, but then
weaken or get tired as the day goes on. Others may not be able to safely
walk the home with a cane or walker due to frequent falls. Many people will
not be able to propel themselves in a manual wheelchair due to lack of
strength or other upper body conditions.
Once a person has determined that he or she needs additional mobility
assistance inside the home and other mobility aids (cane, walker,
wheelchair, etc.) have been ruled
out, it is time to consult a physician or medical equipment company to
initiate the power wheelchair evaluation and approval process.
