Hi Greg, I am working on an article for New Mobility magazine and specifically working on this part of the article—how much does Medicare pricing reimburse compared to Retail price. I compared the leading Manufacturers—Permobil, Pride (Quantum) and for what you are looking for, base, tilt recline, etc. the prices are similar.
The one I “created” was based on a person who needed power tilt and power recline and power elevating leg rests, also a custom back support. Keep in mind this was just information for an article, however I did check and re-check on this. Medicare reimbursement for this this chair came to $18,141.00. Your co-pay would be 20% of $18,141.00, so you are looking at a co-pay of around $3,628 Hope this helps. Bob V > On Mar 3, 2016, at 7:54 AM, wheelch...@aol.com wrote: > > 19-20 K is an easy guess.
