As with most power wheelchairs, the level of subsidy for the Scevvo Scevvodepends on the degree of disability of the wheelchair user. 

In Germany, Scevvo has an aid number (18.50.08.0001), which can help when applying to the health insurance company. Depending on the applicant’s situation and degree of disability, the cost of a stair climbing wheelchair may be paid in full or in part.

The process of financing a stair climbing wheelchair such as Scevvo is as follows:

• After a test drive at your home, your doctor writes the prescription for Scevvo.
• Together with the test report, the medical prescription is submitted to your health insurance company.
• In Germany, a specialist from the Medical Service (MD; formerly MDK) will then visit you to check the suitability of Scevvoas your power wheelchair. In Switzerland, a specialist from the SAHB usually assesses the suitability of the requested wheelchair.
• Based on this, your insurance or health insurance company decides how much they will pay for your new power wheelchair. If the health insurance company does not agree to pay, you can appeal the decision, turn to foundations or finance the amount privately. 

We will of course support you throughout the entire financing process.

People who are severely limited in their strength and/or mobility due to an illness, accident or other reasons are entitled to a power wheelchair such as the Scevvo. Depending on the severity of the mobility restriction, the classification of a wheelchair-dependent person takes place in the care degrees 3, 4, or 5 (DE) or disability degree 1 to 4 (CH).
