for this type of electric wheelchair ~ spouse transitioned from manual to electric ~ cost to Medicare was over $20,000 ~ we paid for a lift feature but nothing else. I'm glad her doctor helped her and yes it takes several months to get it. You really can't stay in it 24/7 as wounds do occur if something happens to the cushion and it's not a restful sleeping situation. I'm glad she will be getting her mobility back.
