It seems all the mobility scooter places go to the insurance and medicade for their money. I have a bone disease and my legs are shot. I have to use two canes sometimes. If you have income and a decent credit report, you could probably take out a personal loan.
If you get a doctors statement saying that the scooter is prescribed, you may be able to go back to the insurance and get it covered.
Otherwise, I would suggest you contact some of the charities in your area, Salvation Army, United Way, etc., and find out if they know of any programs that could help. Medicaid does not have age restrictions. Medicare does, except in certain conditions related to disability or kidneys.
You may be too young to be the decisionmaker for your Medicaid coverage but you're not too young for Medicaid coverage. Or, has someone said that your parents/guardians can't qualify due to their income?
Once approved, your insurance may not provide full coverage but perhaps partial coverage. Find out what this amount is first before trying to finance. |
