To get insurance coverage for Standard Manual Wheelchairs, your insurance provider must determine you have a “medical necessity.” This means you have a condition that requires the equipment to prevent, diagnose, or treat an illness or injury; for example, you’re unable to accomplish daily living activities in a safe and timely manner in your home without a Standard Manual Wheelchair. This includes ruling out ambulating unassisted, using a cane or walker, and that you have sufficient upper body strength to self-propel.
