Bob, this is almost exactly what we paid over 6 years ago, so that figure is 
probably still close depending on make and model, my back up chair is getting 
about old and outdatedI think I will need a new chair this year also. Dan

 Hi Greg,
I am working on an article for New Mobility magazine and specifically working 
on this part of the article—how much doesMedicare 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.
