@A MyParkinsonsTeam Member, Medicare is paying for less and less. My husband, @A MyParkinsonsTeam Member has been on Medicare since 2005. Only the last few years has any copay been required of him. Now, it's getting to be as bad as Obamacare so that I can't afford to see all of the specialists I truly need. I can't even afford new glasses because I need strong prisms which require high-density lenses.

Does Medicare cover lift recliners for Parkinson's patients?

The search results provided don't specifically address whether Medicare covers lift recliners for people with Parkinson's disease. Medicare does help cover routine medical care, hospital services, and prescription drugs for people 65 and older or those with certain disabilities including Parkinson's.

For specific coverage questions about durable medical equipment like lift recliners, it's best to contact Medicare directly or speak with your healthcare team. They can help determine if a lift recliner would be considered medically necessary equipment and guide you through the coverage process.

If Medicare doesn't cover this equipment or if you need additional financial help, there are other options to explore:

* Medicaid (if you qualify based on income)
* Nonprofit organizations that provide financial assistance for Parkinson's-related needs
* Local and state resources for older adults
* Veterans Affairs benefits (if you're a veteran)

Your neurologist or social worker may also know about local programs that could help with mobility equipment costs.
