However, there are some people in our industry that are not helping people – who are in fact hurting people by making false promises and by taking money from the government. Now I won’t get into it here as it can get a little complicated, but we and our power wheelchair providers are able to try to get you a no cost wheelchair due to the government. It is no cost because either the government health plans are paying the cost or your insurance. You can read about it in our FAQ . Some people are taking advantage of the government’s generosity by making false claims to the government and saying that they delivered power wheelchairs to individuals when they did not or they delivered something that the individual didn’t want. Here are two cases over the past few months:

One company submitted $26 MILLION in fraudulent claims to the government. At a time like this with so many Americans out of work and in need of help, these people are taking money away from the government and leaving someone who thought they were getting a power wheelchair they desperately needed with nothing or a product they didn’t need.

That is why I am glad at WheelchairForMe.com we only work with trusted partners that we have worked with in the past. Our power wheelchair providers work with you to make sure you get the chair you need and deserve – and they deliver it! By working through WheelchairForMe.com you are not only going to get the help you need getting your power wheelchair, but you are also making sure you do not line the pockets of fraudulent wheelchair providers.
