Insurance

Would you like a free medical scooter? Do you have trouble getting around and can't use a cane? Your insurance company will buy you one if you submit the proper paperwork.

Medical scooters are often called mobility scooters or electric wheelchairs. They are those cute little red scooters you are seeing more and more of. Why are you seeing more of them now than before? Because it's easy to get one, but only if you know the secret.

People with disabilities have often been left in their bedrooms or on the sofa for hours and hours at a time. The inability to get outdoors is debilitating in itself. Fresh air is better for you than the stale air that is trapped in your home. The sun has healing effects all its own. Yet those that live with disabilities sometimes never get to go outside unless it's a trip to the doctor's office.

What's even more of a problem is the depression these folks sometimes have because they realize they are totally dependent on others to live. Some can't even get to the kitchen to get a glass of water. They often feel guilty for putting such a burden on their friends and family.

The good news is changes to insurance regulations coupled with Obama-care make it much easier to get the proper treatment you need. If your doctor feels you would benefit from a medical scooter, the insurance company is obligated to oblige you. The trick is filling in the forms with the exact information they need to approve your claim.

All processors have a set of instructions that tells them which claims to approve and which they should not. It's written in black and white exactly what needs to appear and they follow it to the letter. They know if they don't, they can be sued. So how do you know what to put on the forms?

Here is your secret weapon. The disability scooter vendors have insurance departments that know exactly what to put on the forms and they will do it for you for free. They want to help you buy the electric scooter so they will even submit the forms for you. Just contact them with your name, address and email so they can contact you to help them with the correct spelling of your name, address, etc.

See, wasn't that easy? All you need to do to get a free medical scooter is to ask!
