Will Insurance Cover A Lift Chair If The Client Can Walk?

Question

Answer

Yes. Medicare and most insurances pay for the motors of the lift chair, not the fluffy part that you sit on but the motor that lifts the lift chair up, which is about 320 dollars. You can get as fancy of a lift chair as you want, but they will only pay that amount. To be covered by Medicare and most insurances, they have to be able to take steps once it lifts you up. You cannot get a lift chair after you get a power wheelchair or a manual chair as they will not cover it. Remember, all things in order.
