## Resource

Medicare won’t pay for the whole lift chair—only the motorized lift mechanism. To qualify, you need a doctor’s certification that your condition (like severe arthritis) makes standing difficult, and you must be able to walk once you’re up. The chair’s frame and cushions are considered furniture, not covered. If approved, Medicare pays 80% of the lift’s cost after your deductible, but you pay 20% plus the full chair price. Always buy from a Medicare-participating provider to avoid surprise bills. Start with your doctor—this isn’t about comfort, it’s about medical necessity.
