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.Best Wishes In a message dated
