Manual Wheelchair
A self-propelled chair for everyday mobility at home and in the community.
Quick answer
Global Dynamic Group, a veteran-built medical equipment company, offers the Manual Wheelchair to TRICARE families across the western United States. TRICARE may cover this when a TRICARE-authorized provider prescribes it as medically necessary. Call intake at 910-527-7081 and a person confirms coverage and availability with you before anything is ordered.
A manual wheelchair can be pushed by the rider or a companion. Seat width, seat height, leg rests and arm style are chosen to fit the person, so the chair is comfortable for long stretches and easy to transfer in and out of.
