Medicare Coverage
Medicare Part B pays for approved durable medical equipment (DME) such as walkers or power wheelchairs. You may be reimbursed for 80% of the Medicare-approved cost if you qualify. For lift chairs, only the mechanical lift system is covered. A doctor’s prescription and medical need are required. Visit medicare.gov for Kentucky-specific guidance.
Medicaid & Waiver Programs
Kentucky provides several Medicaid waiver programs, including:
- Michelle P. Waiver (MPW) – for individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities.
- Home and Community Based Waiver (HCB) – helps seniors and individuals with physical disabilities remain at home.
- Supports for Community Living (SCL) – provides long-term services, including assistive technology and modifications.
Eligibility is based on medical needs and financial limits. Learn more at chfs.ky.gov or by visiting your local Department for Community Based Services (DCBS) office.

Department of Veterans’ Affairs
Veteran Support and Equipment Funding
If you’re a veteran living with mobility challenges, there are several trusted programs available to help cover the cost of medical equipment and home modifications. These resources are designed to honor your service by ensuring access to the tools and support you need to live safely and independently.
Help Through the Department of Veterans' Affairs
The U.S. Department of Veterans' Affairs (VA) provides multiple financial assistance programs specifically for veterans and their families. These include coverage for durable medical equipment such as wheelchairs, scooters, and other mobility aids. If you're looking for help obtaining the devices or support you need, the VA is a reliable starting point. For more information and personal guidance, contact your local VA office or visit the Department of Veterans' Affairs.
TRICARE Coverage for Equipment
TRICARE is a healthcare program that helps cover the 20% co-payment not paid by Medicare for eligible equipment. This applies to retired service members, veterans, and their families. Depending on your enrollment type (Prime, Extra, or Standard), certain fees or deductibles may apply. TRICARE helps bridge the funding gap for necessary medical devices. To learn more, visit the TRICARE website.
CHAMPVA for Life (CFL)
If you’re a family member of a veteran who is disabled or deceased, and you’re over age 65 but not eligible for TRICARE, CHAMPVA for Life can help pay the remaining 20% of equipment costs that Medicare does not cover. This program ensures you’re not left to carry the financial burden alone. More details can be found at the CHAMPVA for Life page.
Veterans Directed Home and Community Based Services (VD-HCBS)
The VD-HCBS program gives qualifying veterans a personal care budget they can use for home care or equipment—like wheelchairs, lifts, or other medical necessities. This option puts decision-making power in the hands of the veteran, allowing more flexibility in choosing the services and tools that best fit their situation. Explore the program further at the VD-HCBS website.
Housing and Accessibility Grant Programs
Veterans who are elderly or have a service-connected disability may also qualify for additional support through housing-focused VA grants:
- Specially Adapted Housing (SAH)
- Special Home Adaptation (SHA)
- Home Improvements and Structural Alterations (HISA)
These grants help pay for necessary modifications like ramps, widened doorways, or accessible bathrooms. Learn more about these programs at the VA Housing Grants page.
