At UnitedHealthcare we want to make sure you can access all the benefits your plan provides.
If you’ve had a change in your health status and your doctor determines you need a wheelchair, your plan is here for you.
To make sure you get the equipment you need with the coverage you have, follow these simple steps.
You may need a wheelchair evaluation referral from a healthcare provider in your plan’s network for wheelchairs with special features.
Next a Durable Medical Equipment or DME vendor in your health plan network is located.
In many cases, your healthcare provider can help locate an in-network provider and send the referral.
If the health care provider does not complete this step we can help you find an in-network provider and schedule an appointment.
It is important to understand what your insurance does and does not cover, so that you don’t have unexpected expenses.
And we can help you with that.
Once the referral has been sent to the identified provider the evaluation will be performed by a physical therapist, an occupational therapist or a physiatrist who specializes in determining proper seating and positioning.
This evaluation may take place in your home or in the DME provider’s office.
If the assessment takes place at the provider office, be sure to bring your wheelchair with you if you have one.
During the visit you may be asked to provide additional information including your health status and risk factors, transportation needs, and information on your home environment (if the assessment does not take place in your home).
Wheelchairs may take anywhere from 60 to 90 calendar days to be delivered.
Factors such as supply chain issues and availability of parts may cause additional delay.
Your DME provider can assist you with a loaner chair during the waiting period if needed.
When your new wheelchair is delivered be sure to sit in it to ensure proper fit and adjustments.
And even if you have experience with wheelchairs do take the time for the vendor to provide instructions on the use of the chair and its features, care and maintenance.
If any equipment you are requesting is not a covered benefit you may be asked to pay out of pocket for the equipment.
The vendor should provide you with a clear explanation of why it is not part of your benefits.
Generally, a wheelchair should last at least five years, although growing children may need a new chair more often.
If you already use a wheelchair and it’s damaged and unable to be repaired you may also be eligible for a new wheelchair.
Over time your insurance and DME providers may change.
So, be sure and keep all the information about the chair, the DME provider, the coverage and any documentation on any repairs or changes made.
Remember, if you have any questions or need more information visit myuhc.com/CommunityPlan or call member services at the number on the back of your member ID card.
