Questions about adaptive seats, bath, and toileting systems

Answers come from each maker's published specs. Safety and health questions link to the agency or medical source.

How do families get adaptive equipment covered?

Medicaid covers medically necessary equipment for children under 21 (the EPSDT benefit), and private plans often cover it too. You'll usually need a prescription and a letter of medical necessity from your child's doctor or therapist, and a medical equipment dealer handles the order.
