Funding & Financing

Financing Resources

Home accessibility products and modifications are typically not covered by health insurance or Medicare, this means that most people must pay for them out of pocket. We understand the need for options when it comes to these types of purchases or modifications to your home that are necessary to keep you safe and independent. When the need arises a Doctor’s note will make the purchase sales tax exempt as a medical expense. This may be a medical expense deduction on your taxes as well (refer to the IRS for more info).

We accept all major credit cards and do not charge a surcharge on any charges under $10K.
