Frequently Asked Questions
-
Will insurance pay for an electric wheelchair?
Insurance plans, funding sources, programs like AADL (Alberta Aids to Daily Living) may cover the cost of an electric wheelchair, but coverage depends on eligibility requirements. AADL can assist with funding if a medical professional determines you require a power wheelchair for daily mobility. Private insurance plans may also provide coverage, but policies vary. We can help you navigate funding options and ensure you meet the necessary requirements.
-
Is there a difference between a rehab power wheelchair and a standard powered chair?
Yes, the terms are sometimes used interchangeably, but there are differences. An rehab powered wheelchair is designed for full-time use and is often customizable with tilt, recline, and other advanced support features. A standard powered chair, on the other hand, is often designed for part-time or short-distance use. These days focused on lighter, transportable mobility and easy operation.
-
How do you qualify for an electric wheelchair?
To qualify for an electric wheelchair through insurance or government funding, you typically need a medical assessment from a healthcare professional, such as an occupational therapist or physiotherapist. They will determine whether a power wheelchair is medically necessary based on factors like your mobility limitations, ability to use a manual wheelchair, and daily living needs. Programs like AADL require documentation and approval before funding is granted.
-
How much does an electric wheelchair cost?
The cost of an electric wheelchair varies widely depending on features, size, and customization. Basic models start at a few thousand dollars, while high-end, fully customized power wheelchairs with tilt, recline, and specialty controls can cost over $10,000. Funding programs, private insurance, and rental options can help offset costs. Our team can help you understand funding options that can significantly reduce or eliminate the costs you have to bear. Plus, we have a wide range of electric wheelchairs in Edmonton, meaning you will almost definitely find an option that fits your needs and budget.
-
Does an electric wheelchair need regular maintenance?
