Are stairlifts covered by Medicare?

Medicare does not currently cover stairlifts because they are classified as home modifications. Avalon is advocating for coverage of its patented reclining seat as medically necessary equipment.

What makes Avalon’s reclining seat medically necessary?

Avalon's patented reclining seat reduces the hip and knee flexion required for transfers, supporting seniors with arthritis, mobility limitations, or pain during seated transitions.
