If you guys haven't seen The Intouchables, make it a point  to do so. It is 
great. It's about a wealthy man who becomes c3-4 quad in  parasailing 
crash. He hires an angry young black man as his aide. The movie  is about their 
relationship and how they are both changed. It is a French  film with English 
subtitles. One of those funny, moving, sad films that  touches you in many 
different ways.

It's a great idea. Arizona has such a Website: AZ Adaptive Technology Exchange

Check it out. There might be a similar site in your state that you're unaware 
of.

Fwd: [QUAD-L] The Scooter Store 2013

[lwillis821]

I live in a town of 7500 people. There are at least four businesses that 
deliver oxygen, scooters, braces, etc. to those who supposedly need them. Stub 
your toe and you can get a scooter. Ridiculous. Scooter store ads have flooded 
the tv here for a long time. I have not noticed if they are still on or not.

Re: [QUAD-L] The Scooter Store 2013

[wheelchair]

CMS is a huge organization.  It is payment division for both Medicare  and 
Medicaid.  Both Medicare and Medicaid are administered by each state,  as I 
understand.  I don't know if some of the blame should be based on each  
state, but that could be part of the issue.  I'm sure there are some  abuses.
 
TSS' issues with the State of Texas and CMS go back to 2005  when they  
were audited and found to owe 109 million dollars to CMS.  TSS tried to  settle 
with CMS for 22.5 million paid over a period of 5 years.  During  this time 
they continued to sell products and bill CMS for the equipment  delivered 
by their offices in other states.  Some say that TSS sold an  average of 
44,000 powered wheelchairs a year.
 
TSS, is a private company-employee owned and leases a warehouse with little 
 assets.  They employed 1800 people with 1200 working in New  Braunfels.

Re: [QUAD-L] The Scooter Store 2013

[wheelchair]

With the DME/Provider Industry, it began with the powered  
wheelchair/scooter and 7-8 years ago,  Oxygen became the item to sell when  
wheelchairs were 
slow, as CMS also paid for that equipment.   I  remember about 2-3 years 
ago, I remember reading that CMS was expanding their  payment schedule to 
include back and knee braces.
Maybe CMS should stop paying for equipment. On the  other hand, maybe 
it should not.
