Anyone know if these can be paid for by Medicare if the doctor gives a
prescription?

Thanks.

Thanks, Skuby! I guess $300 is better than nothing. That's the same idea
as they do for a lift-chair - they pay $300 for the lift mechanism and you
pay any amount over that.

>Medicare stopped reimbursement for electric lift chairs in the early 90's

and now will only reimburse for the chair's lift mechanism and motor. This
will usually come out to be about $300.
