Insurance

Some insurance providers offer coverage for ramp systems and other mobility products. Before purchasing a ramp, it is advised to check your policy first to contact your insurance agent.

Medicare

As per the policy of Medicare, wheelchair ramps (aluminium and wooden) are classified as DME as durable medical equipment. They are 100% reimbursable if they are used for medical care. This means the structure should be declared as medically necessary by a licensed physician.

Medicaid

Medicaid is a government-administered federal program. The policies may vary, so you’ll have to check if you’re eligible for reimbursement.

In most states, Medicaid shares the guidelines of Medicare. This means that your wheelchair ramp’s cost can be fully reimbursed only if indicated as medically necessary by a licensed physician.

Low-income senior citizens and individuals with a physical impairment in certain states can apply for assistance through regular Medicaid or Home and Community-Based Service Waivers (HCBS Waivers). With these programs, wheelchair ramps are classified as home modifications and can be covered partially or fully.

Senior citizens may also qualify for a program called “Money Follows the Person”, which offers financial assistance to those moving from a nursing facility to a personal home that requires modifications to accommodate them. Similar to other programs, this isn’t available in all states.

Veteran Assistance

The US Department of Veteran Affairs offers cash and counselling assistance to veterans. Qualified veterans can receive an amount to cover the services and supplies they need. However, these are only selected. Other expenses outside these will be from your pocket.

The VA also offers Home Improvement and Structural Alteration Grants (HISA) to eligible veterans. These grants are intended to finance home modifications for improved accessibility. Disabilities related to military service may be awarded up to $6, 800, non-military service-related have a coverage of up to $2,000.
