Applying for a wheelchair can often be a challenge for those affected and their families. In this blog post, we will explain step by step how you can apply for a wheelchair and also introduce you to the Wheellator, an innovative combination of a walker and a wheelchair, offered by us, WHEELLATOR Mobility Aid.
**Basic Requirements for Application**
Before you apply for a wheelchair, it is important that there is a medical necessity. This is usually demonstrated by a medical certificate or a prescription. The doctor assesses your mobility restrictions and decides whether a wheelchair is the appropriate aid.
It is also important to know that the costs for a wheelchair can be covered by health insurance under certain conditions. For this, it is necessary that the wheelchair is listed as an aid in the health insurance directory of aids.
**Application Process with Health Insurance**
Once the medical necessity has been established, an application must be submitted to your health insurance. This application should include the medical certificate or prescription and a detailed description of the desired wheelchair. We recommend contacting the health insurance beforehand to get more detailed information about the required documents.
The health insurance checks the application and decides whether and to what extent they will cover the costs. This process can take several weeks. If rejected, you have the right to appeal. In this case, it may be helpful to submit additional medical reports or a more detailed justification.
**The Wheellator – An Innovative Solution**
While the wheelchair is an indispensable aid for many people, we at WHEELLATOR Mobility Aid offer an innovative alternative: the Wheellator. This device combines the benefits of a walker and a wheelchair in one, allowing flexible use in various everyday situations.
