- DSDean SturkieJan 9, 20243.0I am a c-6 spinal cord injured male. I used National Seating to purchase a new manual wheelchair. They are national and my experience was with the sales team in Columbia, South Carolina. I have to rate their services as extremely poor but the staff was nice. I don't know how much they really cared about my situation, they knew my frame was broken on the chair I used and took their time getting my new wheelchair. From the ordering of my chair it took almost 2 years to get my wheelchair to my house and I picked it up. I am on disability and the purchase went through Medicare but that wasn't the problem because I had a Medicare representative that stayed in touch with me. They payment was okayed the week after I went through the medical review, all purchases of Durable Medical Equipment have to be reviewed by a 2 or 3 person panel and then they decided if you equipment is necessary. Tread lightly if you are considering this Company and if you do you will have to stay in touch with the Company weekly.

We work with your physician, nurses and therapists to provide a one-of-a-kind mobility solution customized to your needs and preferences. Because we work in a partnership with your health care team, we require a referral from them in order to be your mobility provider.

How long does it take to get a new power wheelchair from NSM?
NSM strives to complete each timeline phase as quickly as possible without compromising any step in the process. Please refer to this page for the full timeline. We appreciate your patience and understanding.
Why must I see a doctor to get a wheelchair from NSM?
Our clients have mobility challenges and are referred to us by therapists and physicians to receive mobility solutions that meets all their unique needs. If you need a wheelchair, your best plan is to talk with your physician or therapist and get a thorough evaluation from a qualified Rehab Technology Supplier (RTS).
What if my medical condition changes?
Contact your local NSM branch and notify us of any changes that may affect the proper fit and function of your chair.
Are there any dangers in using an off-the-shelf wheelchair?
Definitely. A standard or not customized chair can cause more harm than good. People come in all shapes and sizes; their chairs must be designed to fit them. In severe situations, a standard or not customized chair may:
- Cause significant physiological and psychological problems
- Lead to an increase in dependence because it’s not used due to lack of comfort
- Cause pressure sores, or decubitus, due to improper cushioning
- Become obsolete quickly if not configured to “grow with the child”
- Become a major expense to replace or reconfigure, because most funding sources will only reimburse for a new chair every five years.
Do I have a choice of which mobility solutions company to use?
The choice of a wheeled mobility supplier is yours. Discuss your decision with your physician and therapist.
