My mother in law got one of them and paid nothing. Just like the 2 false legs and assorted other items that cost around 50 grand. And she never really used any of them.
The hoveround went to a disabled adult when she died and actually got some use. Donated the legs and other stuff to charities that reuse them.
My condolences to your mother.
If you have a supplemental Medicare Plan or private insurance, you can get it for nothing. All I have is Medicare and VA. I have “end-stage emphysema and cannot possible do without it.
