Stairlifts can be a rather costly add-on to a home with nearly most of the costs coming out of your pockets. Medicare will not cover the installing of handicap stair lifts . Medicare does not pay for home modifications but does pay for some medical equipment. Since purchasing a stair lift is fairly expensive, you should be amply familiar with all the possible alternatives and options.

Medicare does not cover stair lifts, but programs like Medicaid do if you find a participating dealer. Outside of these programs, you can find grants, loans, or financing from dealers. The doctor has to be able to justify your purchase or you will not be able to get insurance to pay for any of the stair lifts. It is important to keep this documentation just in case of any claim denials.

Stair lift Prices

Straight stairlifts will always be more affordable than curved stair lifts . The reason is mainly due to specific manufacturing and customizations. Standard models will be readily available for installation while custom ones can take a few weeks to acquire after all the measurements are taken. Stair lifts can be adjusted to fit most stairways even if you think they are too narrow or too lengthy.

Stair lift dealers will usually always give you a payment plan or offer financing. Since a stair lift is considered a home improvement modification, you can take out a home loan to purchase and then deduct the interest costs on your taxes. If purchasing a new stairlift is outside of your range, you can instead opt for a rental.

Used and Rental Stairlifts

Stair lift rentals are also great for anyone with a temporary disability. Stair lifts can be removed fairly quickly and easily but a professional technician should be consulted.

Used stair lifts are also considerably cheaper than new stairlifts. Only purchase a used stair lift from a reputable dealer because older stair lifts that have a lot of wear on them can lose their function and may make loud noises.

This may be a last option but moving out of a multi story building into a single floor home can be a reasonable alternative, if you are unable to afford a stair lift or not allowed to install a stairlift. It also reduces the chances of injuries from walking up and down the stairs. Climbing the stairs is a substantial health risk for the elderly and disabled.
