Power Lift Chairs And Medicare - What You Need To Know
Did you know that millions of Americans suffer from limited mobility? Simple everyday tasks become incredibly difficult: lifting items, walking up the stairs, even getting up out of a chair can become an exhausting task. For those people, power lift chairs are a godsend. However, power lift chairs aren't cheap - basic barebones units cost $500, and chairs with all the fixings can run upwards of $2000-$3000! However, for those who need a power lift chair but can't afford it, there is help out there. If a person is needs a power lift chair and are currently enrolled in medicare, they can get up to a $300 reimbursement towards a power lift chair.
In the early 1990's, we can say that it was they "heyday" of lift chairs: medicare offered full reimbursement for the entire cost! It wasn't long before the system became abused, and in the late 1990's medicare began closing the loopholes. Unfortunately, those who truly need the assistance are the losers in this situation. Medicare has since stopped reimbursing for the full cost of the lift chair, and instead will only pay up to $300 for the lift mechanism in the chair and not the chair itself. Obviously, the goal was to pay for only the mechanical device that was designed to help the user, and not fancy upgrades like Italian leather, heat, and massage functions.
Medicare has very strict requirements when it comes to lift chair reimbursement. The following requirements must be met before a person can be reimbursed:
1. The person must have a genuine need for a power lift chair. This means that said person must have difficulty getting up from every seat in the house, and not just some of them. Generally speaking, this means that the person must suffer from a debilitating injury or disability, like arthritis, fibromyalgia,or limb injuries.
2. A lift chair must provide the person mobility and freedom. This means that the person must be able to stand up from the lift chair and walk without the assistance of a caretaker.
3. A doctor's prescription is a must. Medicare requires a prescription for any type of durable medical equipment, and it must be part of a treatment plan that is designed to stop the progression of the patient's injuries or disabilities
4. Finally, a doctor's prescription is only the beginning. The physician will also need to provide a written statement that explains why the lift chair is a medical necessity.
While the medicare regulations regarding lift chairs are very strict, it's comforting to know that help is out there. Most people choose to purchase the chair first and get reimbursed later, since the approval process is actually quite smooth, assuming you meet all the requirements. Lift chairs are very expensive, but with the right help are more affordable than most people would think.

Standers Easy Chair Lift $36.12 *Decreases stress and strain on back, knees, hips and joints.*Installs Quickly.*Slip resistant and non-marking.*Low profile look makes Stand Easy almost invisible.*Does not interfere with rocking or reclining of chair. How it works:When a person stands from the typical recliner, it tilts forward, dropping the arms and seat of an already low chair by 3-4 inches. Simply raising the chair by 5 or 6 inches, necessary for independent standing, makes it dangerously unstable.Stand Easy has developed a safe and easy solution! When Stand Easy is installed, it raises a chair 1 3/4 inches and limits the forward tilt allowing an additional 3-4 inches of lift. The 4-6 total inches of extra support gives a weakened person a biomechanical advantage and enables them to stand on their own.The Stand Easy Chair Lift attaches quickly and easily to the wooden base of your favorite recliner. Our patent pending design raises your effective seat height 4-6 inches while only raising your chair 1 3/4 inches. Each box contains four Stand Easy Chair Lift Risers, two Stand Easy Chair Lift Rocker Limiters, 16 screws, Velcro, and instruction manual. |

Uplift Risedale Seat Lift Chair $499.99 Risedale™ is a discreet seat-lift chair that looks like an attractive wing chair; not a liftchair. Only the seat cushion lifts on Risedale; the whole chair does not come off theground and hover in the air as do most lift chairs. In fact, if you take the PowerLever off the Risedale, you'd never know it was anything but a beautiful piece offurniture! We think a chair that offers a lift shouldn't look like a medical device; it should be asnice as every other chair you've ever purchased. So when your guests see a stylishwing chair instead of a medical device; we've done our job! Risedale is trim and fits nicely into cozy spaces like beside the fireplace, in yourfavorite reading nook. Because only the seat cushion lifts (not the whole chair), youcan put your Risedale right up against the wall and it will still help you up. Weighing only 65 pounds (29 kg), Risedale is easily moved when you need to adjustits position, or when you want to use it in a different spot in your home.

Removable Levers: Discreet Simplicity A simple push of the Risedale Power Lever will lift you up with ease. A simple pullto lower you. Nothing complicated. No control pad to slip off the arm of the chair; nodangling cords. In fact, if you remove Risedale Power Levers, you'd never know it was a seat-liftchair! Your Risedale comes with two Power Levers that can be used on both, left or rightsides, you choose. They are easy to install and remove. Adjustable Legs: Custom Sophistication For the convenience of users 5'1" or less, your Risedale chair comes with custom,height-adjustable legs that will lower the chair 1.5 inches as needed. The extensions areeasily removed using the hex key that comes in the box. Should you choose to purchase a matching ottoman for your Risedale, it will alsocome with custom, height-adjustable legs.

So, you may need a little help getting up but you don't want to settle for a bulky liftchair. A chair that offers a lift shouldn't look like a medical device; it should be asnice as every other chair you've ever purchased.
