I would like to get a new power chair that is suitable for outdoor use, probably whatever Permobil's top chair is, with all the power features.
As a para is it even worth bothering to try and get Medicare to pay for it? I am sure they would not pay for the chair I would want, but do they allow me to transfer funds from the chair I approve to the one I would want? I actually do require power tilt/recline/legs (not sure I can prove it). It is hard for me to argue I need a fast, powerful chair with good shocks, I just want one.
The last time I looked into this it seemed to be virtually impossible to accomplish and I just bought a used power chair. I am wondering if the situation has changed at all.
