Wheelchairs are mobility devices ranging from basic manual transport chairs to programmable Group 3 Complex Rehab Technology (CRT) power chairs with tilt/recline. Buyers include hospital procurement (transport fleets), long-term care and rehab facilities, ASCs, home medical equipment (HME) dealers billing Medicare, and rental pools. Procurement decisions hinge on use intensity (single-patient vs. high-turnover transport), patient population (bariatric, pediatric, neuro), and reimbursement pathway (DMEPOS HCPCS K-codes vs. capital purchase).
The six vendors here split cleanly into two camps: those who make wheelchairs and those who distribute them. That distinction matters more than almost anything else when you're evaluating fit.
