Medicare Coverage

In the United States, if you qualify for Medicare Part B coverage and meet certain medical criteria, you may be able to get a portion of the cost of your Risedale reimbursed under code E0627. The amount reimbursable is 80% of around $330 (amounts vary somewhat by state). In other words, if you qualify, you could receive about $265 from Medicare, towards the purchase price of the Risedale. Ask your home medical equipment provider or your doctor to help with Medicare procedures.

In Canada, Medicare does not cover seat-lift chairs. However, if you live in the province of Alberta and qualify for the Special Needs Assistance, you could receive up to $800 for the purchase of a lift chair. A doctor’s note must be provided explaining the medical condition that necessitates the use of a lift chair.

If you are a veteran, you may also receive support for the purchase of a lift chair if your doctor prescribes one.
