Just got a letter from my insurance 'Amerigroup' stating that since the Scooter Decided to replace the batteries n the Charger they now consider this all done and No more repairs will be allowed for another 3years... The Scooter Store will not come out to see what may have happened to this repair(even if it is their fault) unless they get prior approval to bill Amerigroup for examining the chair and any repairs it may need... So, I'm now have a WheelChair sitting on my porch I'm afraid to plug-in/use because it may catch on fire... I am now stuck using my old WheelChair with a VERY LIMITED range of mobility(between 1.4-2 miles at best) but hey it's better than being stuck in Bed 24/7... It is so UpSetting I have a wheelchair less than 2 years old barely used outside that I can't use anymore and I can't get my insurance to understand my issue to get them to approve it's repair and my mobility... The Scooter Store is of NO HELP they barely looked over the chair when the tech guy came and in my opinion messed something up when he replaced the batteries n charger at very least he messed what ever caused the chair not working right in the 1st place... Heck if any WheelChair should be dead from over use it should be the one I'm using at this moment from Maine, I took this chair from Maine to Vegas to Florida and explored areas of Bradenton, FL in it before it starting to lose it's storing power... I barely used the new wheelchair until in October(2011) the Scooter Store tech tweak the chair so I felt safe to use it outside n to cross streets with it; before than it was toooo slow to cross a street, the signal lights would change before I was completely across... I also still dislike the comment I got from my insurance that I shouldn't be outside except for doctors appointments, I guess they are finally getting their way there... I can barely go any where NOW...
So, I have No Clue what to do now...
Mom says I should call local news but I have never had any luck trying to get the news to help me before... It's weird all my life people of authority rarely listen to me, I have had many doctors like that too and am lucky to have one now that does listen to me (Dr. D. Walsh Jr. of Bradenton, FL)... Heck my mother has had to Talk to my doctors after me to get them to listen... But hey she won't be around forever, hopefully I'll be keeping Dr. Walsh Jr for a long time...
So I have no idea what to do Now...
