Does anyone here use an electric wheelchair or a power scooter to get around inside and out? I have been very limited to do anything that requires a lot of walking and I wondered if insurance company's will pay and what the chances are that the dr will give you a perscription for one

Some insurance companies do cover wheel chairs or electic scooters, just ask your Dr. To write a prescription for one.
Good luck!
