Our Process

The process of getting a custom power wheelchair can take 30-60 days. Usually, your ALS clinic team will let you know when they think you should get started. 

You can initiate the process by talking to your physical therapist (PT), or occupational therapist (OT). 


Your PT or OT will recommend the right chair for you and submit the proper documentation so that you qualify with insurance and pay as little as possible out of pocket. In order to do that, you will need to follow these steps: 

Prescription

To begin, your physician must prescribe the custom power wheelchair in person and—for Medicare eligibility purposes—certify that you need it in order to complete basic activities of daily living (ADLs) inside your home. 

Assessment

Your physician will then order a power wheelchair evaluation, which will be conducted by a PT or OT along with an assistive technology professional (ATP) from a durable medical equipment (DME) company.

Submit results

If you qualify, your PT or OT will submit your evaluation results and medical documentation to Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurance for authorization.

Discuss details with insurance

After communicating with your insurance provider(s), the DME company will contact you to discuss what your out-of-pocket costs may be. 

Delivery

When the DME company receives the wheelchair from the manufacturer, they will contact you to schedule delivery to your home. 

Training and adjustment

On the same day or shortly after the equipment is delivered, the ATP from the DME company and/or your PT or OT will visit your home to spend an hour or two fitting your chair and training you how to use it. 

Evaluations

If you’re dependent on a wheelchair for your mobility, then its precise suitability for your body, medical condition, and lifestyle will greatly impact your functioning and independence at home, work, or in the community. This makes a professional wheelchair assessment vital for anyone using a mobility device, either powered or a custom manual wheelchair.


A comprehensive wheelchair evaluation will assess personal needs for mobility, custom seating, posture, and positioning. Multiple manual and power wheelchair models are available and recommendations for equipment will be made to optimize function, independence, skin integrity and postural alignment. A licensed therapist and qualified Assistive Technology Professional (ATP) will guide you in making personalized decisions to address your mobility needs and goals.
