In the past 3 years, all wheelchair manufacturers have shifted to lightweight aluminum and carbon-steel frames, spokes and wheels from steel for better shock absorption. We examined these lighter wheelchairs and found that they’re as sturdy as steel models are but are easier to push. New, quick-release removable rear wheels make it easy to assemble and disassemble a wheelchair. The average price for a model that has all of these features hovers around $800, compared with $1,200 just 3 years ago. And as more scooters and wheelchairs have become available in the past 5 years, there has been an increase in vehicle lifts, which are used to load scooters and wheelchairs either onto the back of or into a car or van without taking them apart.
These motorized platforms attach to a hitch mount, run off a battery pack or a vehicle’s wiring, and raise a wheelchair or scooter for transport. Beyond the hitch mount, the lifts typically require no modification to the vehicle in or on which they are being transported. The average cost of a vehicle lift is $2,000, which is roughly $800 less than it was 5 years ago. Vehicle lifts now are widely available through medical-equipment suppliers and vehicle-accessory dealers, instead of only through a custom fabricator. And there are a lot more retailers that can be found on the Internet (we found dozens) than there were 5 years ago. Because of that, it’s crucial to find a vehicle lift that’s compatible with the hitch that you put on your vehicle and has enough weight capacity to haul your wheelchair or scooter. Otherwise, they’re not going anywhere. A few manufacturers and retailers have a searchable database on their website where you can enter your vehicle or scooter information to find the appropriate vehicle-lift model that will fit on your hitch.
Although mobility products have become easier to shop for, they’ve become more difficult to pay for. Unfortunately, insurance no longer picks up most of the cost of mobility products. Despite constant lobbying by advocacy groups, it appears that nothing will change. Between 2006 and 2010, Congress reduced its funding for Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services’ mobility reimbursements by 39 percent, according to American Association of People with Disabilities (AAPD). That means that, at best, where Medicare previously might have chipped in $5,100 for a power wheelchair, now it offers just $3,100. Furthermore, on Jan. 1, Medicare began to phase in its Durable Medical Equipment, Prosthetics, Orthotics and Supplies (DMEPOS) Competitive Bidding Program. Regional medical-equipment suppliers submit bids to provide Medicare consumers with products such as power wheelchairs that they request. Medicare claims that the new bidding program will eliminate the excessive fees and billing fraud that it says were rampant in the industry.
American Association for Homecare, which is an association of health-care providers and equipment manufacturers, and Center for Regulatory Effectiveness, which independently reviews congressional regulation, found that the bid program disqualifies more than 90 percent of mobility-product suppliers. Madonna Long, who is a wheelchair user and an activist against cuts in mobility funding, believes dealers will cut service and supply low-quality products to make a profit off their winning bids. “For beneficiaries, this means that they’re not getting individually appropriate mobility devices,” Long says. “They might get a generic power chair when, due to a medical condition, they need a special one,” she says. And should it need repair, “service could take weeks or months, because providers are cutting corners by running very limited staff,” she says. The result is that consumers increasingly have been forced to spend more out-of-pocket, says George Turturiello, who is an accessibility specialist at Stephens Pharmacy in Honesdale, Pa., and helps people to select wheelchairs and scooters.
