Guest guest Posted May 11, 2004 Report Share Posted May 11, 2004 HI everyone I was just woundering if anyone here has a powerchair or a type of scooter. And if so how did you go about getting it? I am only 19 but with having an unknown type of EDS I am having more trouble getting around and I cant use my regular wheelchair because wheeling it causes my wrists, shoulders and fingers to dislocate. I have Medicaid insurance it's my primary then I have Sagamore through my dad who works at Toyota then I have criple Children insurance. I tried through the Rascal scooter foundation and they said they didnt take medicaid only maedicare. i havent said anything to my orthopedic Dr yet he is very understanding and knows I have trouble getting around I was just curious though if anyone else has had any luck or would have a suggestion I'm willing to try anything. Thanks for you time Love to all Crystal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 Hi Crystal, Yes Dylan's chair will be here in the week couple weeks. He has Blue Cross/Blue Shield insurance, and Crippled Children's. The private insurance did all the fighting and complaining, Crippled Children's never said a thing. The state insurance covered 60% of the bill. Write me in private and I'll tell you all the details. I've already told the board how it came about so I don't want to bore them with all the details again. c-clark05@....
