Do you know someone whose life would be improved if they could get a free electric wheelchair? Is your mother or father becoming more and more dependent on you? Do you feel guilty because you don’t always have time to help out? Do you sometimes feel they are taking advantage of the situation? Do you ever wish you weren’t the dependable one?
This is a crisis facing us all. As we become adults, or parents and grandparents are entering old age. If they haven’t taken care of themselves, they can quickly turn into burdens. Their small requests for help become more and more frequent, especially if they have lost a spouse or significant other. Many times they might be just enjoying the additional attention and company.
Probably the best thing you can do for them as well as yourself is to make them more mobile so they can do things themselves.
Many people overlook the reason for the cries for help. In reality, they probably would rather not bother anyone but it is easy for them to feel helpless if they can’t get around like they used to. We’ll all probably feel that way someday.
Getting a disability insurance company or Medicare to pay for a free electric wheelchair or disability scooter isn’t all that hard, but it can be frustrating and time consuming. You become the conduit between the insurance company and your loved one. Dealing with insurance companies is trying at best, doing it for someone else complicates the situation.
Since most insurance agencies have a broad spectrum of claims being submitted to them everyday, the agents are not usually well-versed in any of them. Specialization would help but in reality, the longer it takes to process a claim, the better insurance companies like it. Why? The sooner they process the claim, the sooner they have to pay out funds.
An easy, often overlooked solution is to let the company who is selling the power wheelchairs to submit the claim for you. Most have an entire staff or department that is dedicated to filing insurance claims. They know the exact forms necessary and exactly what the claims agent will need to see to approve the request. They have gotten so good at it that they can process a claims in as little as 2 or 3 weeks.
Just think, you could solve your problems and make someone close to you very happy.
