Frequently Asked Questions
Does insurance cover Travel Buggy power wheelchairs?
Some insurance plans may provide coverage for a power wheelchair when certain eligibility and medical-necessity requirements are met. Coverage varies by insurance provider, plan, and individual circumstances. Our team can help you understand what information is needed and guide you through the process.
Will Medicare cover Travel Buggy power wheelchairs?
Generally, Medicare is unlikely to cover a Travel Buggy power wheelchair directly.
Medicare has specific requirements for covering power mobility equipment, including medical-necessity criteria, documentation, and the use of a Medicare-enrolled DME supplier. Travel Buggy is not currently enrolled as a Medicare DMEPOS supplier, so our power wheelchairs cannot be billed to Original Medicare through Travel Buggy.
Medicare coverage is also generally intended for equipment that is medically necessary for use in the home, and Medicare has specific rules regarding which mobility devices and suppliers are eligible for coverage.
If you have a Medicare Advantage Plan, your coverage may be different. We recommend contacting your plan directly to ask whether your plan provides coverage for the type of power wheelchair you need, which suppliers you can use, and what your out-of-pocket costs may be. If coverage is denied, you may also have the right to appeal the decision.
Have a Medicare Advantage Plan? Our team can still help you understand your options. Complete our form and a Travel Buggy Mobility Specialist can help you determine what information to ask your plan and what steps to take next.
How do I know if I qualify for insurance coverage?
Eligibility depends on your insurance plan and your individual mobility needs. Your insurance provider may consider factors such as your ability to safely move around your home and whether other mobility aids can adequately meet your needs. Our team can help you understand the requirements and next steps.
What information do I need to provide to get started?
To get started, we'll ask for some basic information about you, your mobility needs, and your insurance coverage. Depending on your situation, additional documentation may be required throughout the process.
Do I need a prescription or doctor's evaluation?
Depending on your insurance provider and coverage requirements, you may need an evaluation and documentation from your healthcare provider. Our team is experienced with all major providers and their requirements. We will outline the process for you and answer any questions along the way.
How long does the insurance approval process take?
Timelines vary depending on your insurance provider, the documentation required, and your individual circumstances. Our team will help you understand what to expect and keep you informed as your application moves through the process.
