Rehab Medical delivered the chair in August. so I tried to call them to fix it . The girl on the phone said someone will call you 24 to 48 hours, so i waited 3 days never heard from them. this went on for 4 months so I called ******** we tried for over an hour trying to do a 3 way call ,this is rediculous ******** turned me over to the supervisor ******** told them to pick up the electric wheelchair. 2 Days later **** called ***** told him it was too late to return the chair. So in november ***************************** came to fix the chair he recaluclated a few things on the chair And said it was fixed But it wasnt . We called ******** they called rehab medical to pick up the chair they sent a guy out ***** asked the guy if he was here to pick up chair he told ***** no then he left, ****** came back in January and put a part on the chair and told ***** that ****** thought it was fixed but not for sure. And my doctor filled out paper work for a gel seat Rehab Medical sent a cushion through fed ex but it was not a gel seat.

I have been hurt badly in a fall and was already on disability. I received a wheelchair from rehab medical paid for by my insurance company. It was new, it ran for 2 hours and broke down my first day. It took a week to get a service technician out here. After another week and a half they still cant give me any idea of an eta of the part, I cannot get an electric loaner. They have no concern that I am unable to do almost anything without a chair.Business Response

I have been trying since March 1. 2023 to get a repair done for my daughter's wheelchair. I have made numerous phone calls between the Dr's ****** and Rehab Medical. The Dr's ****** has repeatedly faxed the forms to Rehab but they can never find the forms. Rehab Medical has never contacted me to provide communication as to what has been received or is needed. The only communication has been from me calling them. I do not believe they are working to provide assistance needed and will not do so unless some outside pressure is applied. Please help.Business Response

My disabled mother has been without her powerchair regularly since purchase in March 2020. Today is 3/31/2023, and she has been w/o a working chair for over a week & cannot sit in a manual chair due to her disability. I have been on the phone with Medical Rehab daily for a week, multiple times in 1 day. I had to call every day because I would have to follow up with messages; I had left due to being unable to talk to someone who could help me and not receiving any callbacks. After a whole week of that, I was able to talk with a rep that could get the ball rolling with getting the chair fixed. After getting put on hold & then hung up on twice & each time I called back, I finally asked to speak to a supervisor (a supervisor named ***** was not helpful) because my entire experience since purchase with this company has been insane! Whenever I talk to a rep, I get told something different, with many empty promises. This happened multiple times. I was told several times, "Oh, I should not have been told that. " Well, I did & that is a big problem because I am getting lied to! I have been lied to about when & what parts are being shipped & that has been the most significant upset. I was finally told that the joystick was on backorder until 4/28/2023. My Mom has been put on the loaner chair waitlist. Why do they not have ways to take care of this stuff for their customers?I have been told two different things about the loaner chair waitlist & which goes against what one rep said. Corporate also told me that the ************* office would contact me daily to update me. Nothing. Crickets. They told me they were sending me all the service records and everything I needed to send to Pride since they kept telling me they could do nothing. Well, again. Crickets. Wow. My mother will end up in the hospital due to the wounds she is getting or worse. They will cause her to lose limbs or her life. This company has been nothing but a pain to work for. Bad business ethics all aroundBusiness Response

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined the response would not resolve my complaint. For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.
[Provide details of why you are not satisfied with this resolution.]I made a previous complaint, and the company assumed they fixed the issue but did not. Instead, they only half looked at the chair and misdiagnosed the problem. After waiting for the parts, they said they ordered the wrong part; rather, it should have been motors. They still had no loaner, and we have spent out of pocket over 600 dollars. They waited two weeks to order the new parts, and in that time, my mother's health deteriorated, and she ended up in the hospital. After returning home, they called to tell me the parts were finally in but that it would be a few days before they could fit her in. She needs this chair. It is unacceptable that other companies said they would have fixed it right the first time, going over everything to ensure everything was in working order. Rehab Medical prefers to charge ******** for every visit, limit what they can do, and profit off every call while my mother's health has deteriorated.
Desired Outcome: Billing adjustment; Replacement; We would like reimbursement for the rental, and the week I had to take off of work to take care of my Mother due to the hospital visit.

[Provide details of why you are not satisfied with this resolution.]We are NOT satisfied with the results and the customer most certainly is NOT happy. In fact due to not having the proper chair and equipment she got severe wounds and was hospitalized, she is home with hospice and will succumb to the infection. 100% due to rehab medical

I started the process to replace my 15 year old scooter a year ago with ***************************. Finally on February 15th of this year I received a call that my claim was being submitted to insurance. That never happened. Now I just get promises that *** will call me back which never happens. I need my scooter for mobility and no one knows where my chart notes are and when I asked to speak with a supervisor I was told there wasnt one. A year is unacceptable to go through this process and Im no closer to getting the scooter than I was when I began. I think this company is a scam possibly but if not a scam, then quite incompetent and Im left with a scooter that could stop working at any day.Business Response

***********************After emailing all the administrators listed on Rehab Medical website, I received several calls and emails. I thought my issue was finally being addressed. One particular call told me my paperwork was submitted to insurance and theyd have a scooter for me, upon insurance approval in April. The following week I received a call concerning my BBB complaint telling me that more doctor information was needed and my claim had NOT been submitted. Again its the same runaround with no one seeming to know what the other is doing. We are coming up on a year since I started the process for a scooter. I am no closer now to having one than I was then. So while the business response tells part of the story, it leaves out the inconsistencies in what different departments are telling me plus the fact that Ive been proactive throughout the process and would have gotten any information that was needed from the doctor. Here we are in yet another delay.

Its my hope that they find the scooter in less than 3-6 months which is unacceptable because of all the time wasted but I will hope they honor their word.

***************** purchased me an electric chair. It was delivered to me with bad batteries. I have called several times to get new batteries.

The company failed to deliver my fathers wheelchair by the end of the year 2022 and also didnt charge his insurance. He changed his insurance beginning this year 2023. This company attempted to charge him for the remaining amount of a manual basic wheel chair that was never delivered; over $2500 because of the new insurance not covering the chair 100% like the other. Then attempted to drop it off when they were directed not to until the issue is resolved. The complaints could go on and on. They failed to communicate to their staff members and us as customers on ALL sides and expect my father to pay for their errors. We have not received one piece of paperwork, actual paper, digital or otherwise with this whole process. This has to be one of the worst companies Ive worked with. Im demanding they deliver his chair and bill the correct insurance covering 100% as promised.Business Response

Thanks for bringing this customer's complaint to our attention. I have spoken with the customer's daughter and she is aware that we did not deliver the chair per her request based on the billing inquiry. The customer also wasn't billed. The customer is currently asking for the chair to be delivered at no cost which is outside of the insurance benefit guidelines. This has been escalated to the Director of Customer Experience.

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined the response would not resolve my complaint. For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.I have not received any further contact from the company except to verify the above statement they left. Saying the company cannot bill insurance for a product until the Customer has it is bad business practice since the company would be out money if never paid by either party.
They never updated us throughout this whole process though they claim they had several delays on their staffs side of things causing the whole issue. Had we been notified there was a delay, we wouldnt have changed his Insurance beginning in the new year. I have finally received an email stating the above as well which doesnt solve the problem.
I had to call their staff person to not deliver the chair as they wouldve began saying my Father now had the chair so he was liable. They didnt contact their own employee and/or they failed to read the notes everyone has left which are read back to me each time I speak to someone.
This verifies they dont communicate to customers and staff.

All this says is that I understand your company has made a mistake. Its doesnt say how its going to be resolved. *************** told me, they would approve the chair if the paperwork was submitted to them regardless that it is after that time frame since the assessment and initial approval was done by December. The fact that your staff failed to get their paperwork in on time, didnt communicate ANYTHING to one another and called the Customer to notify it was approved and would be delivered before the end of the year before the company had the official approval from the insurance is not our fault. Your company failed all the way around. Refusing to make it right has caused this complaint in the first place.

I am making this complaint for my aunt: *************************, DOB: 03/06/1930. She is 93 years old, paralyzed on the right side, and an individual that needs the power chair that she has done without for almost nine months. She has waited and been told story after story by Rehab Medical. The last three months she has been told Rehab is waiting on her doctors office to fax a form. *** called repeatedly asking for status and even 3-way conferenced the doctors office, Rehab Medical, my aunt plus myself. Still there was no progress only a hollow promise.I was told the prior week that she would have the battery this last week; still there is no battery. Im guessing Rehab Medical is severely understaffed and unable to keep track of the repair orders that are in their system. Some small amount of follow up would have, at a very minimum, had the power chair functioning three months ago. We were last promised 02/06 as a repair date; Im anticipating another failed promise. If Rehab Medical lacks the personnel or process to track and follow up on repairs, some course of action is necessary to correct for the failure to provide services for our elderly. Gauging by the other BBB complaints this issue is rather common.Business Response

I have been waiting on repair parts for my power wheelchair since July of 2022. After technicians replaced the iLevle seat raising system, several parts were found broken after the technicians left. I am confined to my wheelchair and not able to walk, and when I got my chair repaired on July 11 2022, I was not given the opportunity to check or test my chair, I was just told it was repaired and they left. After trying for months to get parts repaired I am told that it is my insurances responsibility to cover the cost after my doctor ***** off on the paperwork. This company is so hard to get ahold of and after months of going back and forth I still have several issues that need repaired on my chair that were damaged in July that the company claims is not their responsibility. I have attached a full letter of the issue in complete detail and attached pictures of the texts messages that were sent proving I reported the issues the night the repairs were made, along with errors shown on the screen. 'As a disabled person with this as my only transportation or means of moving, its so frustrating when you have to wait month after month and try call after call to get any resolve.Business Response
