    Power Wheelchair Providers

    Who has everyone used to get their power wheelchair? I have heard many say NuMotion but they don't seem to be in network with UHC. Has anyone used anyone besides them and had good luck? I want someone that can help us get the right chair and also help get features paid for by the insurance.
