Hi
Yes I have a joy stick I use and when an attendant drives using the back one
mine doesn't operate.

Hi,
But do you also have a control for you to use?
Thanks,
Lauren

Hi
Yes, the attendant control is on the back of the chair.

Hi,
Are you able to get two joysticks on one power chair, one for you and one
for the attendant?
Thanks,
Lauren

Hi Lauren
Just keep pushing.  The first time I asked for attendant control on my chair
it was denied because they said it was a convenience.  I wrote a letter and
sent it with the vendor stuff and then it was accepted and the last time
around when I got the latest of my 4th power chairs in 2016 they didn't even
question the request.

Keep up the good fight Lauren. Don't let anything stop you. "if God be for
you, who can be against you." 

Warmly,
Becky

Hi,

I got a denial from my insurance, United Healthcare.  They said my dr.
hadn't shown that a power chair was medically necessary. They also said the
coding was wrong and I needed a smaller chair than the heavy duty one
requested.  So the wheelchair company is submitting it again with revised
coding. So we'll see what happens next. They're requesting a smaller chair
this time, for one thing. 

Thanks,

Lauren
