My manual wheelchair, which was paid for by Medicare 4 1/2 years, ago needs replacing. Will Medicare fund a new wheelchair for me? If not, what's the wait time before I can get a new one?

The guy that founded Colours Wheelchair has started an internet company called www.U2Mobility.com. According to the person that I talked to they are highly committed to the disabled community. They also have a classified section found in the upper right side of the site. Apparently for the first 1000 customers who sign up they will receive special pricing. So, when I logged in I got special pricing. Also they are developing a referral system. So, eventually I can receive money for referrals. |
