Can you really get a power wheelchair without paying any money, like those ads say?

Maybe Medicare or health insurance will pay for a wheel chair, but those things must be way more expensive.
Its only if your medicare or health insurance won’t pay/help pay for it, but you can only get one if you qualify for one (basically, if you need one).

"If" you qualify for them. I am pretty sure that there are some stipulations to it though!

Medicare and many health insurance companies will pay in full for a power wheelchair if medical necessity is established.

They make your insurance pay for them, but it’s only if your crippled or old.

Your doctor and/or a therapist must say you need a chair, then you must have some form of insurance that will cover it.
Places like this that advertise nationally need to make a lot more money than your local places- many ‘home health’ or other local places can sell you chairs as well. So, how do they pay for the ads?
In many cases (possibly all), they do so by selling you junk and charing a lot for it to the insurance. One advertised brand of chair is a piece of badly done junk, and I have met a LOT of very unhappy customers. Even the places listing ‘big name brands’ are offering the lowest end stuff possible.
In most cases, you get a better chair and better deal- and better follow-up service, using a local source.
