- Working with Referral Sources for a Mobility Evaluation -

Wheelchairs Plus has worked with and referred to these facilities and professionals in the past. Please consider their strengths when choosing an organization or person to do your Mobility Evaluation. Many insurances have qualifying criteria that make it important to honestly and completely state all of your limitations and strengths. This should include your diagnosis, physical conditions, and pain experienced. Help the professionals you work with to understand how the equipment will allow you to do things you can not do now. Consider how and where you will use the equipment and the performance you expect. All of these facts will help the professionals to clearly state your needs for insurance purposes. To help determine how the equipment will work for you, call Wheelchairs Plus.

- Facilites -

These can include a nursing home, hospital or therapy center that has trained personnel to do mobility evaluations. The facility will support the professionals with the required training to meet insurance needs.

- Professionals -

Qualified professionals such as Physical and Occupational Therapists or a Physicatrist (physical medicine doctor) will complete thorough evaluations including the following information:

They will rule out of less costly mobility equipment such as canes, crutches, walkers.

If you need a power chair or scooter then a manual wheelchair must be ruled out.

The professional will document your diagnoses..

Including your symptoms
