To get a custom motorized wheelchair fitted, you must go through a specialized clinical process involving certified professionals and detailed evaluations.

At MedEquipped, the process typically follows these steps:

1. Clinical Evaluation: You will undergo a comprehensive assessment led by a certified Assistive Technology Professional (ATP). This evaluation includes a mobility needs assessment, seating and positioning analysis (to ensure proper posture and spinal alignment), and a control assessment to determine the best drive interface for your needs.
2. Pressure Mapping: A wheelchair pressure mapping evaluation is often conducted. This technology visualizes how your body weight is distributed to identify high-risk areas, ensuring the seating system protects your skin and maximizes stability.
3. Insurance and Documentation: The provider handles the complex paperwork required for Complex Rehab Technology (CRT). This includes coordinating with physicians to secure a letter of medical necessity and ensuring all Medicare or private insurance requirements (like face-to-face exams) are met.
4. Custom Ordering and Fitting: Once funding is approved, the ATP configures the chair’s frame, seating, and power functions to your exact specifications. When the chair arrives (typically within 30 to 60 days), a technician performs a personalized fitting to adjust every component and ensure you are comfortable operating the controls.
5. Ongoing Support: After delivery, you receive continued support for further adjustments, repairs, and education to maintain your mobility and health.
