Many  of our customers file for Medicare reimbursement.  If you have coverage and meet the necessary requirements, Medicare will only cover the seat lift mechanism within the lift chair which comes out to be approximately $300.

How do you file?  You will need 3 things.

• a CMN (Certificate of Medical Necessity)
  
  
• a Bill of Sale
  
  
• and a doctor's prescription for a lift chair and your doctor's signature on the CMN.

Ok... now what?

• You can download the CMN here. We have filled in information where allowed.
  
  
• We will provide you with a bill of sale after purchase
  
  
•  There are five questions on the CMN.
  
  1. Does patient have severe arthritis of the hip or knees?
  2. Does patient have a severe neuromuscular disease?
  1. Is the patient completely incapable of standing up from a regular armchair or any chair in his/her home?
  2. Once standing, does the patient have the ability to ambulate (walk or move about)?
  3. Have all appropriate therapeutic modalities to enable the patient to transfer from a chair to a standing position (e.g., medication, physical therapy) been tried and failed? If YES, this is documented in the patient's medical records.

After you doctor has signed the CMN you will then need to mail it with a copy of your prescription for the chair to your Medicare  regional claims office.  If you are approved, a reimbursement check will be mailed back to you.
