My husband is in a wheelchair and it is getting harder for me to push him around. Consequently, we go almost nowhere. I feel that if we were to get him a scooter, he would be much more willing to go out. I am looking at one that disassembles and would fit in my car. The salesperson at the Medical Equipment store said it is very difficult to get Medicare and/or supplemental insurance to pay even with a prescription. Has anyone been through this? How can we file the claim to make them realize how much a scooter would improve his quality of life? TIA.
You can also try to find one second hand. We picked one up for $125 or $150 (don't remember for sure) at a garage sale held by a woman's son after her death.
