FAQS

Getting Started

Insurance & Medicare Eligibility

Yes, Medicare and many private insurers may cover part of the cost of your powered wheelchair if it’s medically necessary for use inside the home. You’ll need a doctor’s prescription and documentation showing why other mobility aids won’t meet your needs. For full details, visit our Insurance & Medicare Guide.

Choosing Between Manual and Powered

Manual wheelchairs are lighter and require physical effort to move, while powered wheelchairs use battery-powered motors controlled by a joystick. If you need daily mobility support and have limited upper-body strength, a powered model is likely the better choice. See our How to Choose a Powered Wheelchair guide.

What’s the difference between indoor and all-terrain chairs?

Indoor chairs are compact with tight turning radiuses; all-terrain models have rugged tires and higher ground clearance. Learn more in our Indoor vs. All-Terrain Comparison.
