Key Takeaways

  • Mobility equipment decisions are complex and require medical, insurance, and therapy coordination.

  • Missing documentation or steps can delay or deny coverage.

  • Advocates simplify the process by connecting families, providers, and suppliers.

  • Services like Aviator Care often come at no extra cost to families because they are covered by insurance.

  • The right advocate ensures peace of mind, efficiency, and proper equipment fit.

When a loved one needs a wheelchair, cane, or other mobility device, it’s natural to want to find a quick solution. But buying medical equipment isn’t as simple as choosing a product off the shelf. The right device can drastically improve quality of life, while the wrong choice may lead to discomfort, unnecessary expenses, or even medical setbacks. This is where an advocate steps in—someone who understands the healthcare system, insurance requirements, and equipment options to guide families through the process.
