Survey to Improve Access to Wheelchair Repair

Source: United Spinal Association

Wheelchair repair is essential to your mobility, your independence, your ability to contribute to, and participate in society.

However, your access to wheelchair repair services is being restricted by Medicare’s policies.

It is critical that you have access to a Medicare supplier with trained and experienced service technicians and the infrastructure and inventory to be able to repair the equipment you rely on.

Take the Medicare Beneficiary Wheelchair Repair Survey and make a difference.
