FAQ
The most important information about the stair climbing wheelchair Scewo BRO.
The Scewo BRO stair climbing wheelchair can not only climb stairs, but is your perfect everyday companion for indoor and outdoor use.
Is the stair climbing wheelchair BRO paid for or subsidized by the health insurance companies?
As with most power wheelchairs, the level of subsidy for the Scewo BRO depends on the degree of disability of the wheelchair user.
In Germany, BRO has an aid number (18.50.08.0001), which can help when applying to the health insurance company. Depending on the applicant’s situation and degree of disability, the cost of a stair climbing wheelchair may be paid in full or in part.
The process of financing a stair climbing wheelchair such as Scewo BRO is as follows:
- After a test drive at your home, your doctor writes the prescription for BRO.
- Together with the test report, the medical prescription is submitted to your health insurance company.
- In Germany, a specialist from the Medical Service (MD; formerly MDK) will then visit you to check the suitability of BRO as your power wheelchair. In Switzerland, a specialist from the SAHB usually assesses the suitability of the requested wheelchair.
- Based on this, your insurance or health insurance company decides how much they will pay for your new power wheelchair. If the health insurance company does not agree to pay, you can appeal the decision, turn to foundations or finance the amount privately.
We will of course support you throughout the entire financing process.
