Are Lift Chairs covered by Medicare?

Medicare changes what it covers often enough that you definitely need to check. They may cover a small part of the cost if a doctor "prescribes" one, but that could be a tricky call. All the same, it doesn't hurt to check. Maybe they will cover something.
Good luck,

From my own experience, and from what I have heard, it is wise to contact Medicare first. I think Medicare will only cover a small portion of the cost. Again, this is from my own experience. I had a few chair firms out here giving me prices, and they actually told me that Medicare won't cover them. My suggestion is this, check your state Area on Aging, or Aging benefits. You may get help from them. Of course, it all depends on the income of the patient. I am currently going through my state Aging program for help. Good luck and let me know how you make out. : ) Kath

Thank you both, I will keep in touch.
