Part 3 of our wheelchair series takes a closer look at the often complicated world of insurance coverage. Drawing from personal experiences, this video offers practical guidance on navigating the process of getting a wheelchair covered—whether through private insurance, Medicare, or the VA.

We break down how to read the fine print in your policy, communicate effectively with your DME (Durable Medical Equipment) provider, and understand the key idea of medical necessity—the factor that determines what gets approved. You’ll also learn how to anticipate out-of-pocket costs for accessories that aren’t covered and what to expect throughout the process, from your first order to final delivery.
