Homer,
When you're on a forum like this, sometimes you get differing opinions. Don't take it as the official line on SegwayChat or censorship unless a moderator tells you that. You got one negative opinion. That tends to happen on the internet! -Bruce Wright Segway: Vehicle of Dream |

I have a prescription. The intent is to get something that will help me get from one place to another without getting so tired out that I am done for the day. I need a HCPC Code for the insurance company. Does anyone know of one that will work. They thought E1230 number would work but I think that's for a wheel chair. I know there are people who have gotten their Segway using medical insurance.

" I know there are people who have gotten their Segway using medical insurance."
Bob, that sure would be nice, but no one here on SegwayChat knows of ANYONE who has been able to do this. Can you give us more information? Nelda |

The problem is the HCPC Code that apparently coinsides with the actual product being purchased. I have codes in general but not spicific enough to authorize it for the Segway.

I have contacted the FDA and also Palmetto GBA, somehow they are involved in testing devices or something like that. But I do not seem to be able to get anywhere unless Segway actually gets involved.

This part i HAVE COVERED. All I remember is my mon said dont stand on the couch or chairs. I wsa a defiant child.
14. High Activity Use-A category of chairs with speed, range, and terrain handling features designed for frequent use on uneven terrain, hard and soft surfaces with moderate to extreme surface irregularity, and/or for speeds and ranges that exceed those of chairs designed for standard or general use. These features do not affect the ability of the chair to be configured to handle the patient’s medical condition, but allow more frequent and aggressive use.

Getting an HMO to fund a Segway
I haven't tried to have Medicare or Tricare fund a Segway yet, but I did take a $5,345 tax deduction on my XT as a medical expense. I am in the process of getting under VA's wing, and they are coordinating Segway donations for wounded GIs.

DRAFT's Segs4Vets program is the only one I'm aware of that is donating Segways, but that's coordinated directly with the US Military command. I'd like to hear about the VA's effort, that would be terrific! |
