I can get up from a sitting position, but with great painful difficulties including the fact that I fall sometimes. I have spinal stenosis, scoliosis and degenerative disk disease, but I believe the worst of my problem is the weakness of my core muscles causing me the inability to stand up straight at any given time. Still I want to make sure of the correct information that is to be written on the prescription. With Medicare the wording has to be exact.
Call a place that sells such chairs and ask if they get payments from Medicare.
The physical therapist or the doctor may also know how to go about getting help to pay for one.
