Do you qualify for a free wheelchair?

Miracle on Wheels, a public awareness campaign, aims to spread the word about the availability of free or low-cost power wheelchairs to seniors over 65 years of age.

Applicants must have Medicare Part B coverage, Medi-cal or other qualifying PPO insurance. HMO programs will not be considered.

Electric wheelchairs, including shipping and a technician who makes final adjustments, are provided at usually no cost to individuals who have one or more qualifying medical condition/s, including cerebral palsy, diabetic neuropathy, renal failure and multiple sclerosis. In addition, a doctor's recommendation is required. To apply, call (800) 586-4137 or visit www.jaspanmedical.com.
