I haven't tried this, but I've been told that Medicare can be very reluctant to provide even high end wheelchairs. Segway approval _could_ happen, but I think you will find it difficult and unlikely.
The fact that it is not FDA approved, has --or should have--nothing to do with it. It is a long expensive process and most wheel chairs, etc. are not approved either.
If anyone knows more than I do, please share!
