Bet ya dollar to donuts Medicare/Medicaid will pay for the repairs to your chair, but not thru the provider who is trying to get a new chair. Call Medicaid/Medicare and ask for yourself and a referral to a repair provider. 2 that I know of are Wheelchair & Scooter Repair-Solutions in Maryland 888-584-3095 The other is X-Med in Texas. These companies can only repair, and not sell them. Hope it works for you as Knowledge is POWER. Best Wishes In a message dated 8/8/2017 8:16:11 P.M.

I went for an evaluation yesterday to get a power chair. Even though the Dr, wrote up all that. I need she said she did not think medicare would pay for an elevating seat and she was not sure about the tilt and recline. She said it would take months to get a review through medicare.I asked if I could get some repairs done to my old chair but was told NO not while I am waiting for a new chair....medicare would not pay for repairs and then a new chair.

Or I can run it almost dead, and it charge full just over night. I charged it all day, and all night, went dead after 2 miles. A few days ago I went 6 miles. It kind of feels like the breaks come on while driving sometimes. Other times it feels like something comes loose and my chair comes to a dead stop. I can't do too much to it because I'm trying to get a new chair. Greg
