The evolution of mobility aids has significantly improved the quality of life for individuals with limited mobility. Among these advancements, the conversion of standard wheelchairs into electric wheelchairs has emerged as a practical and beneficial option. This transformation not only enhances independence but also addresses a variety of needs for users, making it an attractive alternative for many.

Key Features

Trapeze equipment (E0910, E0940) is covered if the patient needs this device to sit up because of a respiratory condition, to change body position for other medical reasons, or to get in or out of bed.

Front wheels, on the other hand, are generally smaller but vital for steering and stability. These wheels rotate to allow the chair to change direction, and their size can affect how well the chair handles obstacles. A robust front wheel design ensures better performance on curbs, ramps, and other uneven surfaces.

If a patient’s condition requires a replacement innerspring mattress (E0271) or foam rubber mattress (E0272) it will be covered for a patient owned hospital bed.
