I would contact your state office for Medicaid/Medicare and have them send you a set of protocols before you begin the process. Your Doctors issues and order for evaluation by a licensed/certified Occupational Therapist. The OT will be working for your doctor and YOU. The written evaluation goes back to your doctor and a second order is issued to your provider to provide a chair that meets the OT evaluation. Will an ATP work for you and your doctor or.... will they work for the best of your provider ? Follow the protocol in your state and the process should be much smoother.
