Oh, I see what you mean. I’ve been looking at various wheelchairs that my husband doesn’t need, but would like to have. I don’t mind paying for that. He needs a wheelchair. A power chair would be nice, but the manual one he has is sufficient. When he first got it, TriCare wouldn’t authorize purchasing one. They’ve been paying monthly rental on it. I just got a notice this week that they’re not going to pay for it anymore. He can sometimes walk a few feet with a quad cane, but he needs a wheelchair, even at home. Tricare hasn’t explained why they’re stopping payment for his wheelchair. I’ll have to contact them and see what I can find out. He’s not a charity case. He has more than paid for his healthcare coverage. I shouldn’t have to fight tooth and nail to get him what’s rightfully his, and to have to explain to stupid bureaucrats the difference between need and want.
