seen permobiles that are 20 years old and still in better shape than my 4yld

have had 1 permobile for 19,000 but to save money I've had 4 in just the last
20 years, none of them as nice as a permobile but average cost has been
$13,500. Sooo, yea,,seems medicare may have wasted a mere $35,000. I can't
imagine why they are running out of money? If that was a $35,000 bet I'd die in
5 years then I think it's time to tell them to stop gambling away tax payer
money.

Good luck getting your chair in a timely fashion. It it so tiring waiting
on something you need. How long did you have to wait between wheelchairs to
get a new one. I hope I can get a new one before she retires. My supplier
told me I could not get a new one until mine cost more to be repaired and a new
one and that could be forever with a permobile. I still have insurance to my
stepmom, but it seems like they are just as slow as Medicaid. My supplier told
me that insurance pretty much follows Medicare ruling. I have had mine for
years now. A lot of things are broken but not the price of the entire chair.
Has anybody ever heard of Medicare/Medicaid paying for a Permobile.Just
wondering.
