I have submitted report after report to Hover-run-around with no success. My primary care doctor does not do the mobility exams so she sent me to a physical therapist for that testing. Your reps wouldn't accept that, and kept saying that a physical therapy evaluation wasn't acceptable, regardless of how I tried to explain that it was the mobility exam. I contacted another supplier today, and they have already made more progress. They are already contacting my insurance for coverage details.
On Friday, Jan 31st, my chair was stolen. I was/ am devastated. It's my freedom. I called police to get a case #, spoke to a lovely lady who took me thru the process, and made a Dr. appt for Monday. I told your rep it's imperative my new chair has a lock and key so if I have to go to a scooter that's ok. I had that chair for 7 years and some awful person took it.
Took shorter than the 8 - 10 weeks indicated for approval.
Came to home and ensured I knew how to use and my wife too.
Thorough demonstration.
Mr. Floyd who did my initial appt, and ultimately delivered my chair; gave us above excellent customer service. He was polite and answered our questions precisely and gave us easy to understand instructions for using the chair.
The chair was well made and easy to use. Also it is very comfortable.
Alan was ver patient with my grandma. Very kind and professional. He took his time explaining how the chair was operated and charged... also the operators made sure I was informed through every step of the process. They called my grandmas doctors when I couldn't and when the doctor or his team seemed to be taking thier time... thank you to all at hoveraound for making this an easy experience... and for showing you guys care... thank you
When I called hover round for my chair they explained everything upfront and kept me well informed of the progress
Right up until the delivery of my chair.
This has got to be the worse customer support for a product I have ever had to deal with. Customers who use your equipment NEED their equipment working. I have been waiting for replacement batteries for my mobility scooter for 6 weeks. You send a repair person to my home to 'fix' it who has never seen or worked on a mobility scooter for which I had to pay $125.00. Your customer support employees are rude and could care less if your problem gets resolved. There must be no communication between the service and insurance dept within your own company. Very disappointed and frustrated. I NEED MY SCOOTER FIXED!
Very good with Maurice instructions. Still need addition of headrest and need some adjustments at that time
The Hoveround rep delivered the chair on time and was very helpful in showing me things about the chair. This is the second Hoveround my husband has used and I found out some adjustments I didn't know I could make.
Unable to get one because I needed it for out of home use as Medicare wouldn't pay for it. Sine I have a hard getting up from a sitting position the hoveround would be very helpful in my home as I could sit in it and not have to get up to go elsewhere in my home.
He explained what I had to do. We talked while he was assembling it. Was all round nice person. He had to carry it up 10 stairs and he did it with out complaining. But was tired after and kept on working. And when he left we said Merry Christmas to each other.
I love my new chair but getting it took 4+ months, a visit to my primary physician, and several follow up calls to make sure everything was good. With that said I'm glad I hung in there and completed the process.

It's. Great scooter, except I wish it had rubber tires instead of plastic ones.
Thank you for the high star rating Leonard! We really appreciate your positive review!
Phone experience only for initial inquiry regarding need for wheelchair and to make appointment with Primary doctor. Efficient, knowledgeable, appointment set for 12/17 for doctor's referral signature.
Thank you so much for the positive review Barbara!
The technician that came and install my hoveround was amazing very professional I wouldn't have asked for anyone else. He took time and went over every detail with me, he was in a rush, if I had to do it all over again I would call for the gentlemen that came out. Now I get a chance to hang out with the family and nobody had to push me around it was like I got my independence back, I would recommend it to anyone who need too get around, it's easy to manage, drive and handle, I couldn't ask a greater gift its my early Christmas present
Marcia, we really appreciate your detailed and positive review. Thank you so much for your feedback, and have a great day!
Your receptionist had a bad attitude when I called to get information. Ugly attitude. I will be looking into another company since you guys don't have them to try to find what I need.

Answer: Some seem to be getting the equipment supplier mixed up with Medicare. Medicare has theirs own agenda (deny! Deny! Deny!), like most insurance co. Who don't want to pay out. Power wheelchair and scooter companies just do what they can. If a doctor prescribes and Medicare accepts/denies, its not the companies' fault. The doctor is valued to do his duty the best he can and Medicare supposed to do right by the benefiticary. I don't know. Seems a lot of blame is possible, not just with one side of it.

Answer: Yes, if doctor can prove medically necessary. Doctor must make file notes to support and you must have an office visit that only addresses the need for your chair.
