For Power Wheelchairs: In order to qualify, the need is for inside the home, not outside and the patient is unable to safely complete ADL’s with a cane, walker, manual push chair or scooter. A specific face to face mobility exam is required for most insurances.

For Mobility Scooters: Since reimbursement has been recently cut by 50%, we can no longer provide quality scooters through insurance. We do offer for purchase at shop.southernmobilityonline.com.

For Spinal and Knee Braces: To qualify, the patient must have a daily chronic pain that affects ADL’s.

A simple one page Rx can be completed for Humana, BCBS, UHC, Humana, Aetna or Cigna. For Medicare only, a new face to face exam specifically addressing the option of the orthotic must be completed and a documented history of these issues and other treatments tried with outcomes must be found in previous notes.
