Medicare rules make me go 🤦🏻. Did you know they will only pay 80% for the motorized lifting device under the chair that help people with mobility issues get up without struggling? Yes! You read this correctly. The patient has to pay for the chair and 20% balance of the motorized lifting device. Who in this entire world buys just the motorized lifting device? 😡

I sleep in this chair I’ve had for almost 6 years that I purchased used. I plan to buy another one because I’d like a heated one and one that has a massage feature, for bad days and nights, and a power source backup for when the power goes out and I cannot operate the chair without electricity. Cup holder and other features 🤔 I prefer necessary things to have a peace of mind.

Doctors want me to sleep on a hospital bed. My issue is I can’t really lift my left side/leg on or off the bed safely “no props like the chair arms” or quickly to like go to the bathroom. Doctors say, you “must” have a nurse come to help you. The cutting off time for home health is often around 8:00 pm so this means I will be on/in the bed until 8:00 am the next morning. I cannot imagine if there’s a bad storm and no one can travel or get to me. I will have to lay there with pads or diapers on with soiled urine or feces until someone comes to get me up. I say absolutely BS and the worse advice ever! The chair works for me I stay independent! So, will be saving money to get my accessorized chair I want.

Forget this dream bed costs almost 7 grand, think Medicare would cover pfbbttttt!
